Translator: Mohammed dz Checker: Riyad Almubarak

Peace and mercy of God be upon you and on you and his blessings.

(Sarah).

A beautiful twenties girl.

Ambitious and university.

She has suffered from kidney failure since childhood,

And introduced to the operating room,

To remove her damaged left kidney,

While keeping her right kidney in her body,

So as to be reliable.

She (Sarah) was admitted to the operating room,

Everyone hopes to get better health.

But unfortunately

Sarah (from the operating room,

A dead body.

At that moment the question was: Why?

Why did she die (Sarah)?

The process of renal eradication is nowadays

It became an easy process.

We are not only able to renal resection,

But are able to eradicate,

And then transplant heart, kidneys and corneas.

The question was, why did Sarah die?

After the autopsies, he discovered

That the doctor made a mistake,

Where the healthy right kidney is removed

Rather than left affected.

medical mistake.

And often we hear about these medical errors.

Many people, were admitted to the operation room

To check liver biopsy,

They went out with a resection or gallbladder.

Because such human medical errors can occur,

The West, or developed countries

Inventing Tool

This tool costs zero.

And do not take much time but less than a minute,

The tool is two questions,

Are directed to the patient and is stretched on the operating bed,

Before anesthesia in seconds,

– what’s your name? – What type of operation?

If these two questions were asked for (Sarah) in time,

By a health care official,

She would simply answer

– My name is Sarah).

– My operation is the left kidney eradication.

I (Nur Islim),

Pharmacy student, this is my graduation year

I came to share a simple idea,

The idea simply,

Is that all those responsible for health care

They are just human beings,

Just like you,

They rejoice, grieve,

They have moments of hope and moments of despair,

Moments of success and moments of failure,

Just human beings.

Love, love, marry, give birth to children,

They have social responsibilities, economic responsibilities, and so forth.

Just human beings,

They may make mistakes.

But the difference between us and you,

Is that your game is life, with life

But we have two sides

A party where we stand,

The second party is death,

The error, the price of life.

I am not here to give reasons

About the errors of health care officials.

And I’m not here to distinguish you

Among the errors resulting from medical negligence,

And errors that occur because of humanity.

I am here to share art,

Simple art,

But this art can save your life.

This art is the art of asking,

And answer questions even if they are not directed at you.

During my speech this

I will tell a lot of stories,

I wish you, while listening to her,

Think about the question.

Which if asked by a health care official

For the patient in a timely manner,

The score could have changed 180 degrees,

It was possible, that the heroes of these stories

They will be present at this conference.

It is possible that those who heard the story (Sarah),

He will say: Praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds, a virtue of God and Manna

I am not in hospital,

I have no one in the hospital,

And ask God to keep all that away from us.

but in fact,

Medical errors can infect anyone.

On a night of last summer nights,

I was sitting with a group of my friends,

One of them was telling me,

She said to me, “Do you know what happened with my wife?”

I answered her: No.

She said to me: “She was pregnant and gave birth to a very beautiful girl,

But the problem is that the milk

The one who breastfed it comes out of her nose.

After analysis, they discovered

It has a hole in the roof of the throat.

They thought it was a congenital defect,

A measure of the fate of God.

After several months,

She wanted the fate of God,

The mother went to the gynecologist,

The doctor advised her to bring all the medicines

Which she was taking during pregnancy.

I did it all, and I went to it,

While the doctor was examining these drugs,

I was surprised by the presence of medicine,

I asked the mother if she was taking it during pregnancy,

The mother replied: Yes.

I asked her if by prescription,

I replied: Yes from a doctor,

She said to her: Is your daughter born healthy,

She said: No, it has a hole in the roof of the throat,

Her doctor said, that it is known that

That this drug causes birth defects,

And in the worst case it may lead to a rabbit lip.

How did nobody tell you that? “

Actually,

All the participants in this meeting,

They bloomed the doctor,

How a doctor learns that a woman is pregnant

And prescribe such a medicine.

But I did not only blame the doctor,

I would blame the doctor for her medical description,

Also, I blame the pharmacist

Who grabbed the medicine from the shelf

And gave it to the pregnant mother,

Without asking a simple question, consisting of two words,

-are you pregnant?

This question could have changed the course of events altogether,

Although there is nothing that can justify

No to the doctor

And not to Sidlani mistake,

But also, part of the error

Falls on the patient herself,

Currently,

In a word in Google,

We write the name of the medicine,

Followed by a word during pregnancy,

He will show us how safe he is

Whether it is safe for pregnant women or not.

The problem is not just drugs

Which is prescribed by prescription

Are serious during pregnancy.

There are drugs such as benadol,

Can be dangerous.

For example,

Benadull Cold & Flow,

Contains a substance called pseudoephedrine,

Sudavadrine is a substance

Works to constrict blood vessels in the nose,

When we get the flu,

It makes us breathe better.

Benadol Cold & Flow, if we ask the pharmacist,

Simply the pharmacist will do so, and give it to us

Rarely, what to ask.

Scientific studies,

That this substance Sudavadrin found in a lot of drugs,

Able to cause congenital deformation

In the small and large intestine of the fetus.

So that the small intestine is large

Be out of the abdomen at birth.

Also, those who heard these stories

Says in himself

I myself came here

I speak of medical errors,

So I, far from being a victim of a medical error,

Or any member of my family,

But unfortunately

Even my mother was a victim of medical errors.

Last summer, we were in a neighboring country,

My mother was hurt in her teeth,

We asked about the best dental center,

They told us a very large center,

Three floors, with dental specialists.

We went and had our date with

The same center owner,

He asked us to do a dental X-ray,

We did everything he asked,

We took the X-ray

We went to him.

The doctor revealed my mother’s teeth and radiation,

He told her that there must be three operations,

He called three doctors

They are specialists in the operations of my mother,

The fourth doctor, did not exist for a reason.

The doctors met in a room

And they began to speak.

Whenever we ask them, for example

Why do you want to do this for example?

They say to us, “We do not have time to explain to you 10 years of medicine,

I at that moment, I said in myself true, they will not be able to explain 10 years of medicine,

They explained to us a general explanation, what will happen,

And coordinates, and what will happen to the teeth in the picture,

Things went well

After a week was the first date,

Revealed by the neurologist

Who was not present at the first meeting,

Did not understand anything,

The picture was seen

My mother’s teeth are seen,

He told her that the coordinates do not match your teeth,

That is, there is something wrong,

Make sure your computer,

He discovered that the picture was not for my mother at all.

After the shock,

My mother said to him:

“Well, what will I do now for my teeth”

He told her: “You do not need a process from the ground up,

Take Pandol,

I will describe you as an antibiotic,

After about a week the pain will be gone. “

This is what happened,

Pandol and antibiotic ended the story.

Of course, I asked my mother not to return:

“What did you do with the radiologist,

Did you talk to him”,

She said to me: “I went to him,

I said to him: “I would have done three operations because of a mistake from you,

Because you gave me a picture that is not mine,

As well as doctors did not alert me, “

He said to her, “It’s okay,

We will not do it again, God willing. “

So the story ended.

Actually,

Medical errors are included

We are just human beings,

However, in developed countries,

They decided to reduce these medical errors,

How?

In every hospital,

Special section

By writing down these medical errors,

So that everyone who works in the hospital,

An official can report medical errors,

Which he did

Or even expected to occur.

They do not blame doctors or pharmacists

Or any hospital worker,

If they know or make mistakes,

If the result is negligent, of course.

Oops, if the result of human error,

If they tell them, on the contrary

You will thank them and encourage them more,

In order to reduce errors and repeat them,

I am not here to send a message to the Philistines

And health care officials to be aware,

I know they are coming out of their homes every day

To work and not to hurt anyone,

I am here to share with you the art of asking,

No one comes out of the doctor’s room, or from the pharmacy

Without telling them if he was allergic

Whether from medicines, or any kind of food.

No one comes out of the doctor’s room, or from the pharmacy

Without telling them if he had any other illnesses

No one comes out before telling them

If you take any medication,

Of olive oil and sage

To cancer drugs.

No one comes out before he tells them everything he knows,

No one comes out of the women before you tell them,

If you are pregnant or are breastfeeding.

Every piece of information can make a difference,

All information can save lives,

Thank.

(clap)
