But she had chosen to email Thomson Medical Centre instead of our clinic."<br /><br />I used to file a complaint against one of their doctors for being rude and impatient several months ago. I send the email to their clinic directly. But still no one ever responded.

A few years ago I read of an infant who died unnecessarily because her parents refused to use conventional medicines on her eczema; she got a secondary skin infection and died. I don't think I am in a position to advise on Elidels use for infants however It seems that the doctor was trying to act cautiously for this reason.<br /><br />Here's my two cents on the use of Elidel for adults~<br />http://www.parkitweb.com/skinsavers/2010/04/06/elidel-pimecrolimus-1-cream/Amandaphttp://www.parkitweb.com/skinsavers/2010/04/06/elidel-pimecrolimus-1-cream/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15575652.post-74709881857793278342008-09-17T11:27:00.000+08:002008-09-17T11:27:00.000+08:00Sounds like Ms. Ruth Tan Yueh Herng has a serious ...Sounds like Ms. Ruth Tan Yueh Herng has a serious problem: interpreting limited info with her limited experience. If I use the internet, I can prove Nutra-Sweet causes cancer. I can also prove that time-tested treatments such as heparin for heart attacks really have no true studied data to support it. Many, many FDA-approved drugs are used for "off-label" aka non-FDA approved uses, but most people don't know this fact either. She needs to stop this mentality of "I'm smarter than the doctor because I read some stuff on the internet." <BR/><BR/>The facts are some treatments don't work, and some medical problems can take multiple tries, usually because (among other reasons): 1) the issue is not life-threatening and 2) why not start with more benign treatments than more potentially dangerous ones.<BR/><BR/>If she doesn't like her doctor, she should go get a new one, preferably one that can spend more than 5 minutes with her, because there is a lack of communication between these two. I find it disgusting that she takes her issue into such a public forum to disparage someone who sounds like has made an effort to treat her child, and has put some thought into it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15575652.post-1141139178545820732006-02-28T23:06:00.000+08:002006-02-28T23:06:00.000+08:00phelan, the issue of confidentiality was discussed...phelan, the issue of confidentiality was discussed at Mr Wang's blog:<BR/><BR/>http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=12908820&postID=114085512077803548<BR/><BR/>I believe in this case "qualified privilege" can be claimed by the patient as immunity against a counter-suit by the doctor rather than as a defence by the doctors.angry dochttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03132410467147982699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15575652.post-1141137236601382082006-02-28T22:33:00.000+08:002006-02-28T22:33:00.000+08:00I too note the letter by the doc today makes the s...I too note the letter by the doc today makes the second time another doc has to breach patient-doc confidentiality in a public media forum to correct misrepresentations by the patient's relatives.<BR/><BR/>which brings up a interesting issue. Will the Singapore Medical Council censure both the docs by doing so? Not being from the medical field, I'm not too sure about the mitigating circumstances that allow such revealing of confidential information, especially in a public forum. Can the docs here shed light on this?phelanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01300676554404846638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15575652.post-1141133064847682162006-02-28T21:24:00.000+08:002006-02-28T21:24:00.000+08:00I believe that for any complaint directed at a pub...I believe that for any complaint directed at a public healthcare institution with regards to a specific case, TPTB have "requested" (*ahem*) that the ST publish the complaint letter TOGETHER with the reply from the institution being complained against.

I believe it's always hard to please everyone. To give both parties the benefit of the doubt, I believe both acted best in accordance to both their circumstances, just maybe that others may not understand the motive that's all.<BR/><BR/>I think I sound a bit incoherent now.
