Doctor - the most humane, noble and most difficult emotionally and morally profession. Each patient remembers her doctor - the one who healed him and saved his life. However, in the work of even the most highly skilled professional there is a risk of error. That is why in the world professional responsibility of physicians, regin as a rule, subject to compulsory insurance. On the eve of the Day of Medical Worker, we met with the chairman of the Belarusian Association of Physicians, the chief physician of the 34th Metropolitan Hospitals Dmitry Shevtsov, to talk about what matters today Belarusian doctors:
- You're right, really insurance in the world is the foundation regin of any activity, and especially medical. We have a professional responsibility of a doctor is also insured, but not necessarily, and on a voluntary basis, so long as such insurance is not widespread. Personally, I believe that the medical risk insurance protects not only the patient, but also stimulates the doctor. Let me explain regin what I mean. Today, the doctor in this country is absolutely not protected: it can be held accountable as the Administration, regin and in criminal law. You are interested in, which gives the doctor insurance?
In the event that the doctor-patient conflict situation arises, immediately connects the insurance company. The doctor is not drawn into the conflict and continues to work quietly. A representative of the insurance company has the pre-trial stage of trying to negotiate with the patient, to pay him compensation. In that case, if the patient insists on referring the case to the court, the insurance company puts its expert who appears in court the defense doctor, and the elimination of the conflict still occurs in a narrow range, the image of the physician and the health care does not suffer. However, if the doctor made a mistake once, second, third, regin the insurance company may call into question his qualifications and say, "Dear expert, please be careful with his work" ... Of course, if patients are constantly complaining about the health care worker , the insurance company terminates the contract with him. Therefore, the presence of the insurance certificate for the doctor is a kind of proof that he has a high level of professionalism, and that is why the insurance company is willing to defend it. This raises the status of a physician.
I would add that in the West the amount of compensation injury resulting from medical regin error or negligence of medical staff, it is determined based on the actual needs of the person that hurt, and not of the financial capacity of the party that caused injury - as is the case with us ...
- We have been negotiating with insurance companies, and we called quite a symbolic amount - about 300 thousand rubles per year. Of course, insurers realize that the first time, while the insurance contributions formed digit fund, they will have to operate at a loss for themselves, more than for the formation of a positive image than for profits. But then, when doctors start to trust them, everything will fall into place.
- Okhotsimskii no secret that patients often refer to medicine as the service sector, regin are trying to manipulate doctors in their own interests. Especially that responsibility for doctor's regin appointments we have no one carries. Do you think that can and should be done to protect the interests and rights of health care workers?
Quite often patients insult doctor. Only one such patient, to incapacitate the entire day is not only a doctor but also head of the department. regin So we have for the year from 4 to 8 applications regin from patients who witnessed the boorish attitude of other patients to see a doctor. Such patients are beginning to speak out, even sitting in the queue, then knock the door so the doctor's office that flies plaster, rude doctor threatening to "bring him on clean water." Several years ago, we even had to go to the police, in order to attract patients to administrative responsibility.
There are patients dissatisfied with the fact that the doctor refuses to prescribe discount prescription drug that is not included in the approved list. Everyone is convinced that those medicines regin that the doctor has the right to write concerning the exemption regin may not be effective. There is a certain specific category of patients who come to the clinic for sick leave. regin As a rule, the main flow is Monday morning. On the eve of a man good "rest", regin he jumped up pressure, but the smell of alcohol is easy to guess the reason. Or such "patients" come in the evening, for 5-10 minutes prior to the deadline, start asking the hospital, the doctor offered money. Our employees even have to get up, open the door to hear the other patients, and ask the visitor to leave the room. Patients sometimes literally provoke doctors. As a result, our doctors have been asking to protect them, especially in the later rounds, when they are left alone, without nurses.
