a post-mortem examination is usually performed by a pathologist (also called coroner in UK or medical examiner in US) to determined the cause of death when it is not obvious, or in medico-legal or suspicious circumstances, eg. road traffic accidents or suicide.
or, like when someone dies in police custody.
we all know about the Kugan case & now that the 2nd pathologist's is available online, it should make us medics wonder how is it possible that the 1st report is so vastly different from the 2nd?
obviously, someone has gone against the oath. the hippocratic oath. the part that upheld one to abstain from whatever is deleterious and mischievous.
i know some of us overcharge, while others are less than meticulous in treatment, but to lie in a high-profile police case?
i've since removed this from my side-bar...

I think I commented earlier but an error happened. Anyway, hypocritical people are everywhere and they'd do whatever to prevent them from going behind bars or to earn more than what they should be getting but to lie in a high-profile police case? That's absurd but there's not such thing as absurdity nowadays b/c people try to runaway from the laws as much as they can.
Sad, no?
Kyels,
i did not receive the earlier comment. i agree there are a lot of people running around who should be behind bars.
Yes, there are black sheep in every profession... After all, we are all humans, aren't we? And that's the root of the problem!
NORZI AND KARIM ….END RESULT OF THE NEP
This isthe end result of the NEP. Dont tell me you didn’t know our government service is strictly reserved for our NEP products whether they graduate from any one of the locally understaffed medical schools or the ones from Indonesia, India, Cairo, Russia etc.
You will find a brick wall the moment you enter any hospital….
That Norzi fella is a graduate of UKM batch 1981…I can bet my last dollar that he entered either thru the back door via matriculation or all subsids at HSC (if he is from Kelantan then one subsid will do). And at UKM they have a push up mechanism. Meaning passing marks are real low….I mean real low so that you are pushed up for a pass..and guess what he does after that….He joins Bolehland’s MOH where it is kursus after kursus at one resort or another with paid leave/scholarships thrown in…..and if he is in public health like Norzi was, he wouldn’t be able to resuscitate a patient let alone having seen a post mortem…
As for “Prof” Dr Abdul Karim Tajuddin a 1978 graduate of University Indonesia…he is renowned for his “I speaketh little English”….worse still he was Norzi’s lecturer in medical school at UKM where he was for long time and didn’t distinguish himself….and not surprisingly renowned for his shoddy work…..he hops off to the MOH ten years later, picking up his PR along the way…before he takes Bolehland’s tour through Trengganu, etc….and finally lands himself in the worst hospital in the country….the Klang GH..all the while infecting more medial students, nurses, paramedics, doctors, trainees etc with his HP6 forensic knowledge..
From there he moves to Serdang as they are “short of doctors”….Our animal university UPM adjuncts him and lets him hold onto his Professorship so that he can churn out more Norzis….
So even as we speak….Bolehland’s universities are churning out more Norzis and Karims……
So welcome to the world of Bolehland’s Medical World…..where graduates sometimes mistake a human body for a cow, semi-post mortems are the order of the day and dead bodies bleed …and incompetence is camouflaged well by Norzi types and the Malaysian Medical Council who are populated with more NEP products.
Doctors in the private sector and especially Singapore love it and cannot help but rejoice…for without Bolehland’s health care system …they would not be able to thrive….
one should not be quick to judge others, medical errors do happen, doctors are not God but with white coat on, sometimes some act like one so if they do wrong and knows it but dont want to admit it, it'll stay in their conscience FOREVER, haunting thots :(
STP,
that's true, but unfortunately in medicine, the margin for error is much less.
i mean, if the postman puts a letter in the wrong box, someone loses mail, but if a doctor misdiagnose a condition,someone could lose a life.
Anonymous,
thanks for your enlightening, if scathing, comments.
on the contrary, i & millions of other honest hardworking m'sians are well aware of the discriminatory effects of the NEP, & frankly, there's nothing anyone of us can do about it. until the next elections, that is.
my medical class at UM admitted the 1st batch of "matrikulasi" students & most of them occupy the bottom places in class. actually, they are nice blokes but it's the system that (mis)placed them there, much akin to a fish out of water. at least 10 of them have absolutely no interest in medicine & they drop out at the end of year 1. which means, in my class alone, 10 other honest hardworking students were deprived of becoming honest hardworking doctors.
in my discipline, the HOD in HUKM is my comtemporary & this "professor" flunked the both the part 1 & 2 Masters exams big-time.
& as you rightly pointed out, the future trainees are infected with HP6 knowledge.
Msforty5,
thanks for your comment & caution. perhaps the 1st pathologist didn't lie but rather was grossly incompetent & performed a shoddy autopsy that missed out on the REAL cause of death.
isn't the end result the same as lying - a PM report that is inaccurate & misleading??
Hi Friend.. Interesting post.. Nice blog.. Keep up the good work.. Do visit my blog and post your comments.. Take care mate.. Cheers!!!
i can accept that an error was made during the first mortem. but the attempt to explain the circumstances by a hospital director after the secondf post mortem result was announced was definitely made in poor taste. aren't they accountable to any body
Sparkzspot,
Thanks for your comment & kind wishes.
Beng,
just one word : cover-up
