Being a doctor is unquestionably challenging. Nevertheless, many people have a dream of being a doctor. This occupation is seen as something admirable. Every day, doctors have to stay at their workplaces for hours to treat their sick patients. Sometimes, they do not even have the time to spend with their loved ones.
However, there have been some concerns about doctors in Malaysia. @dr.mani_ voices out about the issues of doctors on his TikTok account.
Being a doctor himself, he worries about his patients who do not have a guide about medical prescriptions. He calls out health clinic doctors for this matter. According to him, doctors nowadays only ask some ‘silly’ questions to their patients, and then prescribe them medication.
Of course, medication is one of the important elements for someone to recuperate. Nevertheless, health clinic doctors give them pills without explaining the need to do so. Therefore, he demanded all doctors make a plan for patients, especially those with high blood pressure and diabetes. Doctors should make the patients aware of when to start taking the pills, and when to stop.
The issue is raised because some health clinic doctors usually prescribe patients pills, without providing them with further information. In the video, he also criticizes the way some doctors act toward their patients.
Furthermore, another thing that he voices out is management. The management of health clinics should change for the better. He is concerned about the patients that have to wait long for their turn to get checked.
At the end of the video, Dr. Mani apologizes for voicing out about the matter. He is a doctor too, thus, he wants every fellow worker to be responsible when doing their jobs.
