Naked truth about healthcare
Doctor patient relationship of faith is fractured and GPs have almost vanished
Healthcare has become a commodity Costs of healthcare …High Poor communication and complete lack of informed consent

Sufficient Information Vs Consent Mere signing of a form is not enough to say
that sufficient information is given

Challenges in counselling How much information is sufficient? How to do it without frightening the patient? How to get over the language barrier? How to give sufficient time? How to improve patient recall? How to improve patient experience?

Intolerant society Death is a natural consequence of disease
and not medical treatment…. Every unexpected or unanticipated medical
outcome is BECAUSE of the doctors

Tips :Managing the violent relatives
![Page 11: Mob violence in hospital: Does and Dont's](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062412/58efe4441a28ab3a748b4629/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Tip no 1 – You are under electronic surveillance
Security and bouncers No use during riots
CCTV Easy and cheap Evidence for police/court
![Page 12: Mob violence in hospital: Does and Dont's](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062412/58efe4441a28ab3a748b4629/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Tip no 2 -- Insurance
No body forgets professional indemnity
Insurance for damage to furniture, riot, fire, calamities etc Premium is meagre
![Page 13: Mob violence in hospital: Does and Dont's](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062412/58efe4441a28ab3a748b4629/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Tip no 3 – Rush team
Develop a local “Rush team” of colleagues who can rush to stand by you. Helps communication Prevents manhandling and vandalism
![Page 14: Mob violence in hospital: Does and Dont's](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062412/58efe4441a28ab3a748b4629/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Rules for rush team
Main chair belongs to the “captain” doctor
Communication is the job of captaion’s job. Your role is of a facilitator
Do not take it as an opportunity to settle scores by giving subtle hints to relatives that there was negligence
![Page 15: Mob violence in hospital: Does and Dont's](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062412/58efe4441a28ab3a748b4629/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Intra-op or immediate post op death
Post mortem or death certificate?
Relatives are ready to give an undertaking! Is it OK?
![Page 16: Mob violence in hospital: Does and Dont's](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062412/58efe4441a28ab3a748b4629/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

Sure shot recipe for violence
Dead on arrival… CMO states “Patient serious hai. Yaha kuch nahi ho sakta. Jaldi se bade hospital leke jao”
Patient was taken to another Hospital CMO at that hospital said “patient is dead”
![Page 20: Mob violence in hospital: Does and Dont's](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062412/58efe4441a28ab3a748b4629/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Tip no 5 -- Photographs
Take photographs of the damage done to the property- for court and insurance
Do this before the police (whom you will call) arrives and before the local politician (who will come any way) arrives
![Page 21: Mob violence in hospital: Does and Dont's](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062412/58efe4441a28ab3a748b4629/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Tip 6 -- Medical check up of injured
Send all the injured staff and doctors for medical check-up and first aid preferably to nearby Government hospital
Make MLC in that hospital and preserve all the injury reports
![Page 22: Mob violence in hospital: Does and Dont's](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062412/58efe4441a28ab3a748b4629/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Tip no 7 – Don’t involve politicians
Calling a known politician is a double edged sword May spare you from the particular situation but will take
advantage later
They may be from the side of the miscreants, then they will insist on cleaning the mess and destroying the evidence before photographs are taken
![Page 23: Mob violence in hospital: Does and Dont's](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062412/58efe4441a28ab3a748b4629/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Tip no 8 - Inform the police
Mentions the names of the miscreants if known in the FIR
Otherwise make FIR in the name of “unknown”
Hand over a copy of the CCTV footage so that police can identify the miscreants
![Page 24: Mob violence in hospital: Does and Dont's](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062412/58efe4441a28ab3a748b4629/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Tip no 9 - Insurance company
Immediately inform the insurance agent with photograph and copy of the FIR
![Page 25: Mob violence in hospital: Does and Dont's](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062412/58efe4441a28ab3a748b4629/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Tip no 10 – Keep a copy of the Act!!!
Prevention of violence and damage to property act has been passed by AP. Maharashtra, Orissa, Chattisgarh, Tamilnadu ,Karnataka . Manipur.
Kerala and Bihar were in pipeline
IMA is demanding a central act to this effect
![Page 26: Mob violence in hospital: Does and Dont's](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062412/58efe4441a28ab3a748b4629/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Salient pointsMaharashtra medicare service persons and medicare service
institutions (prevention violence and damage or loss to the property 2009
Commitment, attempt to commit and abetment are all punishable
Imprisonment which can extend to three years with fine which can extend to 50,000/-
Compensation double the amount of loss or as judged by the court
Cognizable, non-bailable and triable by court of judicial magistrate first class
![Page 27: Mob violence in hospital: Does and Dont's](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062412/58efe4441a28ab3a748b4629/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Tip no 11 - Never compromise –
It is non-compoundable
Crime is against the State Parties have no right to “settle” the dispute Requires a writ in the high court
Do not succumb to requests and pressures by politicians or goon to compromise
One miscreant learnt a lesson in Aundh. Hope the word spreads
![Page 28: Mob violence in hospital: Does and Dont's](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062412/58efe4441a28ab3a748b4629/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Policy:Blame free redressal
Effective mechanism of redressal of grivances of consumers must be strengthened…
“Criminalization” of at best “deficiency of services” can’t be accepted at any cost
Zero tolerance against vandalism in healthcare organizations has to be policy decision and strictly implemented
![Page 29: Mob violence in hospital: Does and Dont's](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062412/58efe4441a28ab3a748b4629/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
To conclude
Aim at getting the culprits arrested under the act Rush team CCTV camera Photographs Inform Police and keep politician in loop Insurance for infrastructure damage Keep copy of act Never compromise
