    Medico Legal Update, 2019
    Poisoning has become an increasing cause of concern over the past decade, not only a major medical issue in India but also a significant global health problem. Nearly 3 million people consume poison each year resulting in 220000 deaths annually, majority with the intention of suicide. A Retrospective, hospital record based study was conducted in a rural medical college hospital including 100 cases of acute poisoning. Snake bite cases were excluded. Agricultural poison specifically organ phosphorus poisoning is the most predominant one observed in our study, with a total of 61 percent cases reported to the hospital. Majority of the poisonings were in the age group of 21–40 years. Gender based in-equivalence observed among males and females with a ratio of 3: 1. A significant percentage of suicides were found with an estimate of 95%. Around 39% cases treated with a specific antidote and the remaining 61% had other modalities of treatment. The early initiation of gastric lavage, specific antidote and appropriate supportive management achieved a better outcome. The mortality of poisoning is 1% in the current study. The lower mortality rate observed due to large number of cases about 25% are referred to higher centers. Highest number of suicides was observed among farmers due to losses in agriculture, financial hardship and domestic issues. Psychologically depressed farmers committed suicide by consuming nearest available poison, organo-phosphorous compounds. Psychiatry counseling, agriculture support and financial help should be given to them at community level to bring down the mortality. Hospitals should develop adequate diagnostic facilities, equipment support and skilled supportive staff to combat poisoning deaths.
  • Rights and responsibilities of the patient in health care system

    Medico Legal Update, 2018
    Patient rights have come into the limelight ever since the Nuremberg trials post-World War II. Afterwards, great strides were taken to ensure there is an international consensus regarding human rights. Due to lack of education and awareness, many patients are still being wronged and cheated of their basic rights. Patients can demand better services and facilities, only when they have an understanding of their rights. The purpose of the study was to assess patients’ awareness of their rights and responsibilities in association with health care. This study was a cross-sectional analysis. The research sample consisted of 400 individuals who have attended hospitals earlier for treatment purpose, including males and females of varied educational backgrounds. The data was gathered through questionnaires and analyzed by descriptive and analytical statistics. In this study, results indicated the awareness was not universal. Amongst the rights that were evaluated, individuals were most aware of their right to receive treatment in a safe and hygienic hospital environment. On the other hand there was minimal awareness of the right to access their medical records as well as the right to be informed about their disease and its progression. The study revealed a trend showing increased awareness with higher levels of education. Measures should be taken by the government as well as organizations to improve awareness levels in the lesser educated population. This will consequently improve the quality of health services. In addition, hospital development committees should take extra care during the implementation of these rights.
