BECOMING an Emergency Room (IGD) doctor is not without risks. Apart from having to be prepared under the pressure of an emergency atmosphere, the emergency room doctor must also be ready to be overshadowed by the threat of being sued by the patient or the patient's family because of the suspicion of mishandling. This is what motivated Rezky Ami Cahyaharnita, the IGD doctor at the University of Muhammadiyah Malang (UMM) Hospital to steadily continue his master's degree in the UMM Master of Law Study Program.
"What makes me interested in taking a master's degree in Law at UMM is because it provides a health concentration. As long as I was the first one in Malang. Well, then I myself as an ER doctor also thought, in the ER there were lots of potential complaints from patients. Either the treatment takes a long time or maybe the patient does not understand that doctors have to handle it according to the level of urgency, ” explained this 2010 alumni of the UMM Medical Faculty Medical Education Study Program.
Second, if the doctor has taken the action and the results are not in accordance with the patient's expectations, often the patient complains and then raises a lawsuit. The woman from Malang Regency, East Java admitted that she realized the importance of a health worker to understand Law Science. Although he admitted that it was a bit difficult to be able to adjust the rhythm and material of the Law Science lecture, which in fact was far from the discipline of Medicine. However, Ami was facilitated by matriculation.
