OHIP requires rectal exam as part of General assessment

OHIP demands rectal examination of children and adults to bill for a General assessment. This could be perceived as a sexual assault by parents & patients. OMA Board does not object to this absurd requirement.

Recent case of 69y. MD charged with sexual assault of a minor.

CPSO TRIBUNALS: Finding a Lawyer

CMPA & OMA do NOT FUND APPEALS against verdicts of the CPSO TRIBUNAL; (not a "Court"- important distinction).Imperative to a MD's career to select the right Legal firm.

OMA Review does not publish details of CPSO Tribunals. CPSO "Dialogue" does not publish names of
 Lawyers.

GOWLINGS  is retained by the CMPA in Ottawa for Legal advice.
Offices (ONTARIO) Toronto Ottawa,Hamilton Kitchener.

HEENAN BLAIKIE  is retained by the Ontario Medical Association
Partner Brian BURKETT is in charge of negotiations with Ont.Ministry Health.
ONTARIO:Toronto,Ottawa.
 
McCARTHY, TETRAULT :often selected by OMA members.

Comments are invited about Lawyers who successfully represented OMA members before the CPSO
TRIBUNAL.

(PS. In a Tribunal one does NOT have to swear an oath or stand when Tribunal members enter/leave the room.. It is not necessary for the MD to give evidence.and so permit cross-examination by the CPSO team of female lawyers who use "dirty tricks".to attack the MDs' credibility.with questions; paragraph long, and impossible to answer simply.  The CPSO also uses psychological methods against Doctors by having a "Prisoners' Dock" in the middle of the room and a TV screen facing the accused.)

DAILY MAIL: UK PRIVATE GP CLINIC

Patients shun NHS for clinics run by Polish GPs: Cut-price private surgeries where you can see a doctor seven days a week

• Despite charging £70 a visit, west London clinic already has almost 6,000 Britons on its books and offers 30minute slots
  
• Two thirds of NHS patients have to wait more than 48 hours for doctor's appointment and few slots are available outside regular working week
• My Medyk also offers dental surgery, varicose vein surgery, Botox, hypnotherapy, acupuncture and counselling session
• Clinic was founded five years ago by two Polish doctors but now employs 50 staff, the majority of whom are Poles

The Significance of CRAB (Multiple Myeloma)

0
inShare

 

What does astrology have to do with Multiple Myeloma? More than you might think. 

Cancer is the fourth sign of the zodiac spanning June 22 to July 22. The Crab is the mascot of the Cancer zodiac sign. The letters C-R-A-B also stand for four clinical manifestations of Multiple Myeloma, a cancer of the blood resulting from the proliferation of malignant plasma cells. The presence of CRAB criteria are important diagnostic indicators of Multiple Myeloma. In 2003, the International Myeloma Working Group (IMWG) defined the CRAB criteria in the British Journal of Hematology(1). 

C stands for Calcium. Patients with Multiple Myeloma can have elevated levels of calcium (hypercalcemia) due to the breakdown of bone. Hypercalcemia resulting from Multiple Myeloma must be differentiated from other causes such as overactivity of the parathyroid glands, medications and excessive use of calcium and Vitamin D supplements.

R stands for Renal. Many patients with Multiple Myeloma have some degree of renal insufficiency at diagnosis. If untreated, patients with Multiple Myeloma can progress to a condition called myeloma kidney and may lose their kidney function completely. Patients with acute kidney injury (AKI) resulting from Multiple Myeloma need to be differentiated from those with AKI from other causes to make sure the correct treatment is initiated.

A stands for Anemia.  In Multiple Myeloma, cancerous plasma cells invade the bone marrow and can disrupt normal hematopoiesis or blood formation. This results in decreased red blood cell production and the condition called anemia. Anemic patients often complain of fatigue which is one of the common signs of Multiple Myeloma. 

B stands for Bone. Many patients with Multiple Myeloma have bone lesions. These lesions are caused by the destruction of bone in areas where cancerous plasma cells have made a niche in the bone marrow. In these areas malignant plasma cells cause the activation of osteoclasts that in turn, cause bone resorption and the release of calcium from the bone into the serum. The bone in these areas may be weakened and fractures are often an unwanted sequela.

Following routine laboratory evaluations (Freelite® serum free light chain assays, serum protein electrophoresis, immunofixation electrophoresis), it is important for clinicians to be able to differentiate CRAB conditions resulting from Multiple Myeloma from other causes. Individual CRAB criteria can be associated with many pathologies and the faster the root cause of symptoms are diagnosed, the faster the patient will receive appropriate treatment.

GP who laughed all the way to the bank: He's the millionaire doctors' leader who destroyed out-of-hours care - while securing a bumper pay deal for his colleagues. Ashamed? No. He thinks it's a 'bit of a laugh'

Britain's out-of-hours health care is in crisis — and the Mail has launched a major investigative series to highlight the true, shocking scale of the problem. Yesterday, a consultant at a major A&E unit revealed the devastating knock-on effect it's having on emergency care. Today, we reveal the inside story of how GPs got a massive pay rise while opting out of caring for their patients round the clock...
With a bejewelled chain of office where his stethoscope once hung and an ermine robe to boot, Dr Simon Fradd has every reason to look as pleased as punch. This is the man who, in 2004, helped to negotiate arguably the most generous public sector pay deal in modern British history.
Representing GPs, he and his colleagues at the British Medical Association not only secured what turned out to be a 50 per cent pay rise for family doctors, thanks to new bonuses — but also managed to ditch their obligation to provide care in the evenings and at weekends.
For more than half a century that round-the-clock responsibility had been the bedrock of GPs' contract of care with patients.
