Medical Error is everywhere!

MEDICAL ERRORS

Statistics show that death from medical errors are higher than death caused by traffic accidents, breast cancer or AIDS. 

The actual number of deaths from medical errors could actually be higher than the figure quoted in the IOM (Institute of Medicine) report, say US health experts. 

This is because the report failed to mention errors in other healthcare setting such as clinics, doctors's offices, nursing homes and outpatient surgical centers. 

• For example, the US General Accounting Office found that at 1700 kidney dialysis facilities, 20% or more patients did not get adequate treatment for anemia, a red blood cell deficiency that is common in kidney patients. Some centres used contaminated water for dialysis or prescribed the wrong medicines for follow up care. 

• In the People's Republic of China, about 80000 people die annually because of antibiotics misuse by doctors or via self-medication. 

What is a medical error?

• The US FDA explains that a medical error occurs when a healthcare-provider chooses an inappropriate method of care for a patient, such as giving the patient a drug without knowing if he or she is allergic to it. 

• In other cases, the healthcare-provider gives the patient the correct care but does it wrongly, such as giving a concentrated dose of a drug instead of a diluted one. 

The following are among the most widely reported errors, according to the FDA and American Hospital Association: 

• Wrong diagnosis
• Wrong medication 
• Missing or incomplete patient information 
• Wrong blood group transfusions
• Infections due to poor hygiene 
• Wrong organ surgery or removal 

Medical Error Cases happened in Singapore

Example 1:

UBLISHED: 9:29 PM, JUNE 9, 2015

SINGAPORE — A young doctor who administered a chemotherapy drug the wrong way, putting the patient at risk of “severe neurological damage”, has been fined S$2,000 by the Singapore Medical Council (SMC).

Example 2:

Woman’s eyelids stuck together after pharmacy mistake

A HOUSEWIFE was prescribed a gel to soothe an eye irritation – but ended up being given dental adhesive paste instead. The mix-up by the pharmacy at National University Hospital (NUH) caused Madam Pang Har Tin’s eyelids to stick together. The 63-year-old was rushed to the accident and emergency department to have her right eye flushed out. She has since made a full recovery.

Source: https://www.healthxchange.com.sg/News/Pages/Eye-medicine-turns-out-to-be-dental-paste.aspx

It's pointless to point fingers at doctors and nurses for medical errors. Fatigue from long working hours and staff shortage emphasises the fact that it is human to make mistakes. 

In addition, with over 10,000 drugs on the market, some of which sound alike, it is no wonder that drug errors are shockingly common. 

We tend to think that government agencies like the FDA can regulate medical malpractices for us, there is only so much these agencies can do. 

While the FDA can help to control similar-sounding drug names, for example it cannot force your doctor to wash his hands before treating your wounds. 

PREVENTION IS THEREFORE THE BEST ANSWER!

The onus to prevent these errors is on us. 

When we buy a car, we research all we can about the model before signing on the dotted line. When we choose a vacation or travel package, we ask every related question before buying our tickets. 

So Why don't we do the same for our healthcare??

We have a mission here!! 

The science of Nutritional Immunology teaches us to eat to prevent as WE ARE WHAT WE EAT!

With a nutritious diet, we can put up the first barricade against medical errors by stopping ourselves from falling ill in the first place!! 

We also believe that KNOWLEDGE is POWER. 

• By knowing the DANGERS of drugs and sharing what we know with loved ones, we can make better health decisions and build the confidence to ask questions. Our questions, in turn, can help doctors to prevent themselves from making mistakes. 

• Using our voice not only prevents errors, but also save lives, say experts. 

If you child's flu medicine looks different from her previous ones, tell your doctor even if you are embarrassed to do so. It may be the right medication or it may not. 

One Wrong Tablet could kill or harm your child for life. Likewise, ask your nurse or doctor to wash his or her hands before examining you or your infant. 

• If you cannot summon the courage, remember that in the year 2000, about 2610 infants died from preventable hospital infections in the US. The toll in less-developed countries could be higher. 

We must realise that no one knows our health better than we do. A healthcare professional can only give us advice or information about our health. 

The final decision is ours. We should be more vigilant, knowledgeable, and personally responsible for our healthcare. 

Only then can we ensure that medical errors do not prematurely rob us or our loved ones of life.

Young People Caught in a shock when diagnosed with Bowel Cancer

PREVENTION is ALWAYS BETTER THAN CURE

After reading the above article, i decided to share it out as i realised that 
due to today's fast paced society, many people may have put their health on least priority 
as not having enough time to take care of their health. 

From a small health problem such as constipation, 
this could lead to bigger bowel problem if it's not seriously looked into. 

Young people dismissing bowel cancer symptoms

• 2 MONTHS AGO MAY 27, 2015 10:00PM

Seek help ... Don’t dismiss bowel cancer symptoms and wait until it’s too late. Picture: Supplied. Source: Supplied

MORE than 1000 young people a year are diagnosed with bowel cancer and many too late because their symptoms are dismissed as constipation or haemorrhoids.

Bowel cancer is seen as an old person’s disease and testing doesn’t start until a person is aged over 50 but 1,100 young Australians are diagnosed each year and 200 will die.

In 2011, 9 people were diagnosed with the cancer under the age of 19.

“What we’ve found is young people are waiting three months after they experience symptoms before seeking medical advice,” Bowel Cancer Australia chief Julien Wiggins.

Waiting to long for treatment ... Julien Wiggins, chief executive, Bowel Cancer Australia. Picture: Supplied. Source:Supplied

Bowel Cancer Australia is warning the widespread view that bowel cancer only affects the old means when a young person is diagnosed their cancer has usually spread.

The majority of Australians aged under 50 had stage three or four bowel cancer at diagnosis, meaning the cancer had spread.

The organisation is urging young Australians if they have blood in a bowel movement or feel something is not right to go to their GP and get it checked out.

If they wait three months to act the cancer will grow because many early onset cancers are aggressive, he says.

Melbourne mum of two, 39 year old primary school teacher Sarah Lochlan was diagnosed with bowel cancer when her youngest child was aged just eight months.

Sarah had experienced some constipation and abdominal bloating and discomfort but both she and maternal health nurses put the problems down to pregnancy and breast feeding.

She was advised to drink more water.

It was only when her bowel became blocked she visited a doctor about the problem.

She says she had never considered the possibility she could have bowel cancer.

”There is a perception it’s an old man’s disease,” she told News Corp.

“It was a huge shock, I never expected someone of my age and gender would get it, it wasn’t on my radar.”

Initially a GP thought Sarah’s problems were caused by a bowel infection she could have picked up while on holiday in Malaysia.

When she presented at a hospital emergency department a few days later they initially didn’t take her seriously because she was so young.

It was only when they did a scan they found the problem.

Sarah’s cancer was stage four at diagnosis and had spread to her liver.

As a result she had to undergo “gruelling treatment” including several lots of surgery and chemotherapy.

“It’s not an old person’s disease,” said Sarah, who remains on chemotherapy.

“If you have any changes in your bowel habits or pain get them checked by your GP.”

PREVENTION IS ALWAYS BETTER THAN CURE!!!

Starting from today, Change our dietary habit by taking more fruits and vegetables rich in Fiber! 

With more fiber intake, we can always keep our intestinal tract clean and healthy. 

• How much fiber intake / day?

The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, American Cancer Society, American Heart Association and American Diabetes Association recommend a daily intake of 25g to 30g of dietary fiber. The average person consumes about 11 grams of dietary fiber daily.

• Fiber Chart of some foods for your reference:

Food (Quantity) 

• Carrot (1) 2.3g fiber

"Food" for Thought

How to Choose a Healthier Cooking Oil for the health benefits of the whole family?

Why E.Excel Blended Cooking Oil is highly recommended for every household to use?

In the past, I always have the impression that Olive Oil is the healthiest oil in the market. 

But why is that so? I have no idea. 

But after learning from Dr Chen on the criteria in choosing a healthier cooking oil, i learned that Olive Oil is not the healthiest cooking oil yet. 

Furthermore, if we do not know how to use Olive Oil correctly, it will turn into harmful substances. For example, Olive Oil cannot be used for deep frying because of its lower smoking point. 

The below article which was published in LONGLIFE magazine has featured the E.Excel Blended Cooking Oil.

It was shared by the author (who is a nutritionist) that why E.Excel Blended Cooking Oil is her choice! 

(Click the photo to enlarge)

From the last photo, she has shared on the 

Criteria in choosing a healthy cooking oil:

1. Safe and no contamination

2. Healthy Ratio of Omega 6: Omega 3 = 1:1

See the Omega 6: Omega 3 ratio of Common Cooking Oils: 

Perilla Seed Oil:                1: 4

Kiwi Seed Oil:                   1: 4

Macadamia Nut Oil:          1: 1

Canola Oil:                        2.1: 1

Soybean Oil:                     7.1: 1

Olive Oil:                           12.8: 1

Tea Seed Oil:                    31.8: 1

Peanut Oil:                        32: 0

Sunflower Oil:                   39.4: 1

Palm Oil:                           45.9: 1

Corn Oil:                           46.1: 1

Sesame Oil:                     137: 1

CottonSeed Oil:               259.4: 1

Grape Seed Oil:               667.1: 1

• A high ratio of omega 6: omega 3 promotes many diseases such as cardiovascular disease, cancer, osteoporosis, and inflammatory of many auto-immune diseases.

• Plant based foods are beneficial to health, however, when they are extracted as OIL, their molecular structures undergo changes and most of their nutrients are destroyed. 

• Moreover, plant oils are high in calories, and when consumed., put a lot of stress on the body. 

3. Smoking Point of cooking oil CANNOT be exceeded by the cooking temperature. Otherwise, the quality will be damaged and turned to be carcinogenic. 

See Smoke Points (Deg C) of Common Cooking Oils:

Macadamia Oil: 210 
Perilla Seed Oil: 202-250
Canola Oil: 200 
Kiwi Fruit Seed Oil: 160
Soybean Oil: 160
Olive Oil: 160
Tea Seed Oil: 252
Sunflower Oil: 107
Corn Oil: 160
Sesame Oil: 177
Coconut Oil: 177
Peanut Oil: 160

Our Asian Cooking methods such as stir-frying and deep frying could go as high as 190 DegC. 

Therefore, some cooking oils which has smoke point lower than 190 Deg C are not recommended to use for asian cooking methods, such as Olive Oil.

Based on the above criteria, E.Excel Blended Cooking Oil has become an ideal choice as: 

• Omega 6: Omega 3 is 1:1

• Smoking Point is 210 deg C which is hardly exceeded by usual cooking methods. 

• No artificial colouring, additives and preservatives.  

Therefore, I highly recommend all of you to use E.Excel Cooking Oil instead of other brands.

What if life didn't happen to you, it happened for you?

I read an article today and i would like to share it to all. 

“What if life didn’t happen to you, it happened for you?”

• What if I examined all of the crap that had happened “to” me before and saw where it had led me? 
• What if I realized there was a purpose for every circumstance of difficulty, struggle, pain, and trauma? 
• How would my perspective change if I realized my quality of life is directly related to my reactions?
• Would I stop and appreciate these moments of darkness, if I realized they are necessary to guide me to the light in my life?

With a change in focus, you can change your life. If you’re looking to change your life too, realize you have the power to do it.

Instead of waiting for life to happen, make it happen. Instead for waiting for a change, create a change.

Create a vision for yourself and your life and use the opportunities that come when life throws you a curve ball to review your goals and dreams.

You may discover a speed bump was a wake up call to focus on something important you may have otherwise overlooked.

Where do you see yourself in six months, in the most important areas of your life? 

• How is your life incredible? 
• What is something that you enjoy then that isn’t in your life today? 
• What excitement, adventures, and amazing experiences do you have? 
• Who do you know? 
• Where have you been? 
• How do you feel? 
• What do you do on a regular basis? 
• How are you awesome?

Now draw it in to three months: What has happened and needs to happen three months from now to get to your vision? Be specific! 

• Are you trying something new? 
• Have you changed your daily habits? 
• What do you fill your time with? 
• What is it like to be this awesome you, three months from now?

Hone in, one month from today. 

• What is different? 
• What steps have you taken to this new-you six months away? 
• What are you up to? 
• What have you accomplished? 
• What are you working toward? 
• What have you consistently been doing for the past 30 days?

What happens to you a week from now? 

• In seven days, how have you changed your habits and your life to steer its course to something new and incredible? 
• What are you planning? 
• What is being implemented? 
• How do you feel?

Now plan tomorrow. Repeat daily.

Plan your time, because time flies, but the good news is you’re the pilot of your life.

Stop waiting for life to happen to you and take ownership for leading your life. 

You have led your life to amazing places already, and there is no stopping where you can go from here.

Cheers

Why I choose E.Excel Franchise Business Partnership

Why did I take up E.Excel Franchise Business opportunity?

The below is my personal story =)

I was a Chemical Engineer by profession for 5 years in the past. 

Right after graduation from Chemical Engineering in Singapore National University of Singapore (NUS) with ASEAN scholarship, I worked in one of the engineering consultancy firms as a chemical engineer. I was fortunate to have a good direct boss, supportive colleagues and quite well-paid salary.

However, while I continued striving for success in corporate level, i realised that I was caught in a rat race.

Here was my routine.

• Rise before 7am, gulp my food, rush for MRT and buses. 

• After work, take dinner with friends/ colleagues, do house work, watch TV, chit-chatting on FB and then fall asleep after midnight. (I was not married yet that time) I live my life without any goals. 

• Same routine for next day again. 

• Received my pay check at month end, then spent on households etc, save the remaining ones. The whole cycle repeated again on next month.

• I noticed that the same happened to some people around me who have already set up family with children.

• Rise before 6am, gulp their food, rush children to breakfast, then to school/ childcare, then pick them up after work, go home, cook dinner, have 'quality time', do housework or office work brought home, and then fall asleep after midnight.

At that time, I could see they are my reflection if I were to have kids in future. 

• And with this bored routine, I realised that my time and money is controlled by the company also, hard to reach my desired dream due to limited savings from the limited increment. 

• Most scarily, I started to notice the risk of being retrenched after many of my colleagues being laid off during economy downturn in 2008 due to collapse of Lehman Brother.

• I can't imagine what if I m jobless when I have house commitment, car commitment, children commitment Etc?  

• When I work for people, the risk of being retrenched is something I can't control. The rise of my paycheck n time flexibility is something I can't control also.

I got depressed And I started asking myself, is it the lifestyle that I wish to have? 

The answer is obviously NO. 

After much thinking, I came to the conclusion that I must jump out from the rat race, so to have more time freedom for myself, and financial freedom with health freedom together. 

I know I must find a business which can generate income for me and at the same time I can be the owner of my time. I would never want to work for people anymore. 

While i was looking around for business opportunity, I chanced upon E.Excel franchise business! 

My colleague was sharing with me about this business opportunity which is very unique and simple to start due to the below factors:

• Low capital
• Zero risk 
• Big market demand 
• Big potential returns with 4-figure, 5-figure and even 6-figure passive income monthly

After analysing the business model, I realised that this is indeed a fantastic business opportunity to break the rat race cycle.

I can be a franchise headquarter (franchisor) with just a minimal capital as compared to traditional franchise business which needs huge capital! 

I have been the consumer earlier. Thus, I am confident about E.Excel wholesome food products as i know they are safe, effective and unique. 

Read more about WHY and HOW i started to use E.Excel wholesome food:

http://healthywholesomefood.blogspot.sg/2014/08/why-i-choose-nutritional-immunology-for.html

Why I choose to partner with E.Excel International?

1. A reliable company with impeccable history  

Founded in year 1987. The founder is Dr Chen Jau Fei who is the World Outstanding Chinese and expert in Nutritional Inmunology. E.Excel continues to be the leader in the nutrition industry, with strong R&D Team of more than 100 scientists. Every year, E.Excel launches many new products which are always leading in the market. 

2. Products are Safe, Unique and Effective. 

The products are formulated based on Science of Nutritional Immunology. 
Nutritional Immunology is a preventive science and a way of life. Dr Chen's book "Plant Foods and Nutritional Immunology" is used as a recommended reference book in more than 10 medical universities in United States. 

To me, products are very important in a business. If the quality of the products is not good, regardless of how well the business model is, the business will not be long lasting as one day, the products will be phased out from the market as rejected by the consumers in the market. 

3. Big market, health and beauty industry is a sunrise business 

The products are daily consumables and suitable for people of all ages. 

With increasing awareness in the prevention of chronic diseases and ageing population, the products will become even more relevant and of high demand in the future. 

In my opinion, demand of the products is also very important. Would you prefer a sunrise business or a sun set business? Your answer has explained why I choose a sunrise business. =) 

4. A well-paid marketing plan

According to how many franchises you open in this business. The more franchises you open, the more passive income you can make. The more you help your franchises to grow, the more passive income you will get. 

In order words, you have to help others to succeed first before you succeed. 

I find that this business cooperation relationship is fantastic.
It fulfil my wishes to help people as this is a helping people's business.

For coming to 3 decades, the E.Excel opportunity has produced many successful, high-income earners with continuous flow of passive income due to its simple marketing plan. 

5. A great education system which allows easy duplication. 

The education system and training system  is a proven operational model for duplication. It provides the simplest methods and most comprehensive tutorial tools for business owners of all social economic backgrounds. 
No matter you are a businessman, professional, an employee or even a housewife, the system ensures SUCCESS for you! 

I decided to start doing the business after deep analysis from all different aspects. 

Thankfully, with a couple of years in E.Excel franchise business, I realised that my future has been reshaped!!!

It's indeed my second chance to transform my life, allow me to be able to live my life to its fullest, and enjoy my desired ultimate freedom lifestyle. 

***Feeling thankful***

If you are keen to find out more about this business opportunity, don't be hesitant to contact me to discuss on possibility of business partnership together. 

Lastly I'd like to share the below video!! 
It's one of my favourite Youtube about E.Excellers' lifestyle 丞燕人的故事. =)

Hope you will click and watch this short Youtube video. =) 

我的感受： 

这短片里，描述了三个角色，第一是26岁的年轻人，第二是32岁的一位爸爸，第三是一位刚毕业的年轻人和他有智慧妈妈。

当我自己重看以上的短片，我觉得里面的角色似乎跟我的人生有些相似或相关。

在我开始接触丞燕时，是2007年，也是我25岁开始。
丞燕的生活方式，让当时年轻的我过得很有目标，多姿多彩，很充实。：）

当我迈入30岁时，我开始组织家庭，有了小孩。丞燕的生活方式，让我对自己，家人，孩子的未来更觉得有保障，我也能够参与孩子的成长过程。：）

未来，我期待我孩子一起参与丞燕大家庭。就像，短片里的第三个角色，一位孩子加入他妈妈，一起在丞燕事业里。：）

多年在丞燕事业里，我受惠很大，最大的是，我赢回我人生的方向，不再为我的未来彷徨。找到了，造就别人，也同时造就自己的一个助人的事业。

如果，你想要对这门事业有多一层的认识，请联系我。谢谢。 ：）

May all dreams come true :) 

Warmest regards, 

Joselyne
