Is Our Hospitals in the FSM safe?
I don't mean any disrespect to the doctors and/or nurses, but I've heard of numerous cases where most of you aren't
giving patients the right prescriptions/medications/treatments..which often results to a fatal endings.. And what can be done,
or what is our Government doing to prevent these casualties?

This one of the major problem that has never been solved by any higher up whether it be the old administration or the current one. They need to do something because it has become an embarrassment for all Chuukese abroad and here on the islands.
listening to the debate took place in Guam. All did well, but there are things I think they could do a lot more to make them looks more presentable. Only Narrhun stand out because he dressed well and ready for it. The rest, usun nge rese fen pwan i care. People should always r3m3ner that what you wear do say a lot about you! if you dress down then that is the kind of person you are. Truly, Alex seem to be the only one that care about how he present himself. the rest they appeared as if they just don't care. They could at least look more presentable. They don't realized that they are all over the world. My vote is for Alex!
ARe U saying that these people Dr's are equivalent to what they call PA? except PA do not prescribe medication yet can see patients. Yeah??
More like a lawyer and a Paralegal. A paralegal is an attorney right hand...the lawyer give order to the paralegal while the lawyer go fight in court.
Healthcare is one of the pressing issues in the world today. US employees are faced with a whopping price for such services, all because of the cost of malpractice lawsuits that drive the cost of care to the sky. Additionally, research and development did likewise on the price of prescription drugs. When all is said and done, to get a quality healthcare, the face value of the dollar must be presented to the seller before shipment can be processed.
Folks Hospitals are Complex organizations and the services they provide must first be understood by the consumers. Yes, for the most part the Doctors are the Bosses of treatment, whether acute or chronic. One physicians fault shouldn't be used to against all the institution. What is important is the management must deal with such scenarios on individuals basis and get rid of the bad apples before they began to contaminate others. Yes, most of the doctors we have in Micronesia came from the Philippines and some of them may still be wet behind their ears if you know what I mean. However, the management must be proactive and deal with such individuals right away straighten them out or ship them out. One of the reasons most of the physicians comes from the Philippines is the fact that we can only afford them. They are ones willling to accept the level of salaries we pay them. This should answer why most of them are not good. The good ones would never accept our low salaries. As I have indicated, the Hospital is a Complex institutions, which houses, Doctors whom we generally understand that run the show however, they would not be able to do thei job well if the Laboratory staffs are not appropriately trained, if their lab equipments are down mechanically or without reagents. Without the Lab's support, the Doctors would not be able to pin point accurately the organizms they are treating and takes a long time to arrive at the right medicine for the right organism. Same with X-Ray department, the Kitcehn, and environment, the Medical Supplies, and Pharmaceuticals. And above all appropriate funding. With these elements, there is no way our Doctors cand be able to carry out their duties as expected. I do not know about the other hospitals within the FSM as for the Pohnpei Hospital it is ranked as a 90 beds size hospital. And a Hospital of this sized anywhere in the USA and bench marking with Guam and Hawaii our closest US places, it would need at least 35 million dollars annually. Gues how much funding Pohnpei Hospital gets annually? about 6 million. So you see that' why our hospital is not stisfactorily rendering the expect services to our population. 6 million compounded with poor management, what can we expect? Wallang!
Docs can only be blamed for their work done on a patient. When such thing happen you sue the doc for malpractice which is a civil action, not criminal. In civil case you sue for monetary not for the soap on the floor.

Kinisou.
God bless chuuk.
I like to ask the continuing admin. to please place focus and priority on both health and public safety. Someone mentioned that Mr. Elimo never mentioned that in his speech about public safety, but I did hear that it is one of his top priorities this year. So let's be a bit patient and see what he got cooking ~ are met?
Time to change up the admin. in each respective offices if they are not doing any improvement... just a kind thought for professional reasons ~ nothing personal. I do not even know these people heading them offices...
Congratulations to the Top Bosses in Chuuk government. Si Chusssssssssssss ^5 PEACE
Philippines and India. They think they're smarter and better than us.
Some or maybe MOST of them have bought their degree's...note NOT earned
but bought, there are places in the Philippines and India that ppl can
pay to have a fake degree processed and will look like a qualified piece
of document.nesian _dude
We really need to examine people coming to work at our islands, our
hospitals or anywhere who knows what they are capable...samething goes
to those locals if they are not abiding by the standards or are not
qualified.. nesian _dude
Why sounds like you hate Filipinos ?
It's so easy - ask for the school transcript of records where he/she graduated ( the address and phone /email addresses are all indicated there ) - for DR's / CPA's / NURSES aside from the school transcript of records check with PRC-Phil Regulating Commission number /certification -you can check the authenticity ... Aside from company's where they were employed before ..Don't
speculate , yes not only in the Phil where you can fake your diploma
-anywhere -everywhere anybody can do that with the technology we have
now ...
