Within the pharmaceutical policies, the State has been interested in the medical prescription as a legal document of prescription and dispensing medicines and health products contributing to the improvement in patient safety. To measure the degree of compliance of the prescriptions that arrive at the community pharmacy, a cross-sectional observational study was conducted for two months of 2019 to review all the prescriptions on paper presented for dispensing in five pharmacies. Within this period, a total of 33463 prescriptions were received 30085 (89.90%) were electronic and 3378 (10.10%) were on paper. Of these, 841 (25%) came from the public health system, 931 (27%) from MUFACE, 362 (11%) from ISFAS, 28 (1%) from MUGEJU, 201 (6%) other organizations and 1015 (30%) from private healthcare. When the number and percentage of paper prescriptions that could be legally dispensed was analysed, it was observed that only 130 (65%) prescriptions of other organizations, 30 (4%) of the public health system and 34 (3%) of private healthcare were correctly completed. Therefore, only 194 of the 3,378 paper prescriptions (6%) received during two months in the five community pharmacies could be dispensed according to current law. When the prescriptions are not correctly filled, with the mandatory basic data, indispensable for the validity of the medical prescription, the patient's safety can be compromised and the prescribing health professionals and those who dispense the medications are exposed to sanctions.

The idiosyncrasy of the medical profession, the characteristic personality traits of the physician and the lack of specific training to properly recognize and treat one's own vulnerability dispose this group to suffer more mental pathology and probably worse control of other medical diseases. Most of the studies promoted so far focus on the psychiatric and addictive concerns of the physician, from the point of view of the sick doctor as being at risk for malpractice and to guarantee the safety of their patients. The narrative review of scientific literature (MEDLINE, EMBASE and IME 1985-2016) has shown that we do not have in the Spanish-speaking environment updated information about the doctor as a patient, despite being a topic of incipient media repercussion and undoubtedly relevant from the point of view of patient safety, professionalism and medical ethics and as well as the welfare of professionals. The characteristic of a sick doctor are more complex than the rest of patients with a conflict of roles and repercussions on professional ethics and the quality of care. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

A few days ago a physician told me: due to COVID-19, 50% of the people that works in my hospital left due to union leave because comorbilities, another 5% due to license without pay, a few others left because of vacations and a few others because they are infected with SARS-CoV-2, at the end, 50% left. These are words of a physician who is seeing patients. Feeling alone, he remembers when he went to med school Why did I study medicine? and remembers: «I enjoy helping people», «Doin good to others» «Taking care of sick people». Nowadays due to the pandemic of SARS-CoV-2 that his life is at risk, it is in this pandemic where the physician finds himself before an implacable judge: his consciousness, which is impossible to evade. The medical duty is to protect the sick, but what happens if the physicians have a fear of getting sick or spread the illness to their family? If they don't have the ideal protective equipment? In them for all the responsibilities and they feel a commitment with the ill. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction: The culture of patient safety seeks to prevent possible damage resulting from a series of events that were planned and that have an impact on the quality and safety of medical care. An adverse event it means to a damage or complication that results from health care, and it does not correspond with the illness or the underlying condition of the patient, and which causes in it a prolongation of the hospital stay, disability at the time of discharge or death. First victim is the patient and the affected relatives, second victim is the professional involved and finally a third victim is the clinic or the hospital where the adverse event it happened. The research into the consequences of first victims are broad, while in second victims it has been a little studied topic, so a study about the emotional and social consequences of the adverse event in second victims will give us guidelines to show the knowledge, attitudes and behaviors that would allow us to analyze and give suggestions on the steps to follow to prevent adverse events, in addition to some publications have documented that the Burnout syndrome may be related to the incidence of adverse events. Methodology: It was carried out the application of the instruments Questionnaire for Primary Care Professionals of Spain and the Maslach Burnout Inventory to all physicians and nurses of the Centro de Salud de T-II Nayaritas from Mexico City, being consulted in total 20 professionals. 70% (14) were women and 30% (6) men, professional's age range 19 years to 66 years, with an average of 41 years. 45% (9) doctors, 30% (6) of nursing staff and 25% (5) dentists. In addition, an average of 14 years of work experience. Outcome: The consequences after an adverse event are higher emotionally. Burnout scores on average for physicians, nurses and dentists were 58, 52 and 41 respectively, scores considered low. However, no significant correlations were found between the consequences of an adverse event and the Burnout syndrome. Conclusion: Carrying out and having notification programs related to the culture of patient safety will allow us to analyze and give suggestions on the steps to be taken to prevent adverse events, and with them the consequences for health professionals, just like that guaranteeing a true practice of the culture of patient safety.

The physician is a health expert, focused on diagnosis, treatment and prevention of diseases. One of the most accepted models explaining the achievement of the expertise is the deliberate practice understood as a theoretical framework based on specific and precise objectives in order to acquire, develop and increase cognitive and motor skills, in addition to the improvement of the quality of care and patient safety. The required elements to perform adequately the deliberate practice are: 1) clear objectives, 2) motivation, 3) feedback, and 4) repetition. The competency-based education states that education should be focused on the student, and the deliberate practice contributes to the fulfillment of this purpose. Therefore various teaching strategies have been designed including curricular changes, Entrustable Professional Activities (EPA) and simulators and methods of clinical teaching, in order to increase the quality of undergraduate, post-graduate and continuing education, training competent physicians with the necessary skills to improve the quality of care and patient safety in the exercise of their profession.

Introduction: One could say that disease and fear of death are the key issues that make most people seek medical help. However, it is striking to find that most of the time devoted to teaching at medical schools focuses on disease while death is simply unspoken. Death as a real and universal fact is a topic rarely discussed in a doctors-to-be classroom. Objective: This essay is intended to make the medical reader aware of the fact that in addition to scientific or empirical criteria, there are other valid and enriching perspectives about agony, death and dying; i.e. the philosophical and theological perspective. To that end, the background is a recently published article in this journal that will be referred to in the next pages. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The purpose of intravenous fluid therapy (IFT) is to maintain or restore internal equilibrium by administering fluids and/or different electrolyte components. Its correct use and the prevention of complications arising from their misuse depend on the knowledge of the medical team on this subject. We analyzed this issue in different clinical areas of a tertiary hospital. Material and methods: We performed a descriptive crosssectional pilot study via a questionnaire given to physicians specializing in internal medicine (IM) and digestive system surgery (SDS) who perform clinical practice in hospital units with unit dose drug dispensing system. We designed an anonymous questionnaire with 25 questions relative to knowledge of theory and practices, as well as the opinion of physicians regarding IFT. We evaluated the association between nominal qualitative variables with the Chi-square or Fisher's exact test. The behavior of the quantitative variables was assessed using the tstudent test. The analysis of the data was generated using SAS/STAT, Version 9. Results: 28 questionnaires were collected from 13 surgeons and 15 digestive interns. Over 40% of specialists considered further education in IFT a necessity , especially regarding its prescription (SDS: 61.54%, IM: 71.43%). No statistically significant differences were found between the specialties in terms of perceived frequency of complications associated with IFT or in the frequency indication with the exception of hypovolemic shock, which is considered to be more prevalent in gastrointestinal surgery (p = 0.046). 90% of professionals prefer an individualized prescription. Statistically significant differences in terms of scores in the area of knowledge, with IM physicians achieving the highest scores (p = 0.014). There were also differences in attitude but they are not significant (p = 0.162). Knowledge of intravenous fluid increases with years of clinical experience (Spearman correlation coefficient = 0.386, p = 0.047). Conclusions: The professionals who prescribe IFT perceive the need to design IFT training programs, together with the production of guides and consensus protocols. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In the process of Venezuelan independence several medical doctors played an important role in this saga. Historian Ceferino Alegria mentions one hundred and ten physicians that took part the patriot side. However, not much is mentioned about the other side. There were some Venezuelan doctors in agreement with the Spanish band that were forgotten or ousted from the Official history, as it is the case of Feliciano Montenegro Colon and Rafael María Baralt. The first one was a Spanish official and the second one used a rhetoric approach to be considered as An Spaniard from both worlds; the other one was the Marquees of Casa León. Many venezuelan born citizens who fought in the King's side where got out from history. The historian Arístides Rojas called them the exposed in history and José Domingo Díaz was one of these cases, a medical doctor who that witnessed many military and historical facts. This article describes the historical image of José Domingo Díaz, a man who played a role in this historical process. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Medicine has existed since time immemorial, because falling ill is part of the essence of man and aiding one another is an indispensable element of human life in society. Accordingly, the physician working with the sick owes them negative respect (to do no harm) and positive respect (to help in the disease), with technical competence, honesty and integrity. The physician must serve as humanely as possible, being obliged to do so by the patient's dependence. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Its social implications and in the art itself. It is divided into two parts: the first part referred to the role of physicians in the most ancient cultures and in the baroque period, while the second part focuses on the artistic representations of the physician in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.

Clement of Alexandria presents the Logos of God as a physician able to heal by means of his word the passions of the new believer while he is guided and instructed in the duties of Christian life. The principles developed by the Pedagogus, though they instantiate the ideology of a philosophy that struggles to set up its power in a definitive way, also attest the influence from earlier authors, among which Hippocrates, Plato, Philo of Alexandria and the New Testament documents represent the textual pamassus with indisputable predominance in the Alexandrian theologian' thought. In spite of the chronological distance that separates Clement from these authors, it is remarkable how the medical criterion stopped from being a simple element of the sophists' rhetorical discourse to give way to Hippocrates' professional practice and acquire a philosophical status in the works of Plato, Philo and, later, in the New Testaments speech. In this sense, a review of these writers will allow us to confirm their influence on Clement as well as their functionality inside the Christian discourse of 2nd century. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article puts forward the tensions occurring between physicians and the pharmaceutical industry and arising from their respective inherent interests and obligations as an important source of three-dimensional ethical dilemmas: the prescription of medicines, medical education, and research. The text being well grounded in the review of the authors" different sources, and personal stands and reflections, it starts from the premise that a good ethical relationship between the pharmaceutical industry and health professionals is both possible and necessary. This implies an endless analysis of its deriving risks and benefits, by proposing self-regulation as the most constructive choice action. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
