The perfect man

In this article I will describe a ten-year psychotherapy treatment, with a frequency of four to five sessions per week in the first two years, and one session every fortnight for the following eight years in prison, with a man sentenced to twenty-three years for murdering his wife. I will analyse the complex personality of a young multi-talented male doctor, pushed to the edge of a chasm by a transgenerational destiny for males to be "the best" in everything. This unconscious need forced him to build up a hypertrophic self of "the perfect man" who, faced with the frustrations of life, broke down, revealing a very fragile and immature core. The collapsing of the ego led him to a killing which was meant to "save", in a distorted way, his project of being "the perfect father", without realising that he was, instead, destroying not only his wife's life, but his children's and his own life too.

Documentation of chaperone presence in breast clinic, a complete audit cycle

Objective The General Medical Council (GMC) and Irish Medical Council (IMC) recommend the presence of a chaperone for all intimate examinations and that it should be clearly documented. The aim of this report is to assess doctors’ compliance with obtaining a chaperone and documenting their presence, determining possible causes of non-compliance and implement interventions to increase compliance. Methods Prospective audit of patients seen in the breast clinic in Beaumont hospital over the week starting 8th February 2021. The medical charts were reviewed for documentation of chaperone presence. Doctors were surveyed using (SurveyMonkey) for causes of non-compliance. Interventions included a stamp in the medical notes for chaperone presence and details, an educational email with GMC and IMC guidelines, and posters put up in clinic rooms. The intervention was reassessed at 1-week and 6-week intervals. Results In the assessment phase, 126 patients were recruited. A chaperone was present 100% of the time where a male doctor examined a female patient; however, chaperone presence was not documented in any of the medical charts (0/126). A survey was sent to 22 breast surgery doctors to explore causes of non-compliance. Response rate was 95%, 50% did not know documentation was necessary, and 25% forgot to document. One week after intervention, 64 patients were recruited. Chaperone documentation increased to 80% (51/64). Reassessment at six weeks included 120 patients, and chaperone documentation rate was 74% (89/120).

Giving Birth to a Male Specialist Obstetrician According to Perspective of Islamic Law

Women in giving birth still go to the specialist obstetrician when there is a recommendation from the midwife, or the patient comes directly to the obstetrician, the patient no longer chooses or sorts a male or female obstetrician, in the view of the community as if there are no legal issues. Though the proposition of al-Quran and hadith has ordered us to hold our gaze and preserve the genitals of both men and women, to see the aurat (private parts, those parts of the body that cannot be exposed or should be covered according to Islam) which the same sex is still not allowed, much less in different sex. Especially with regard to giving birth that shows all organs including aurat which is very vital, and also explained by the perspective of fiqh ulema who have very strict rules in seeing aurat, even in the case of medical treatment, especially treatment to the doctor in different sex of patient. Likewise with the results of the plenary session-V which explains male patients are not justified to treated by female medical, and vice versa, moreover women giving birth to a male obstetrician is even more not allowed, this is under normal conditions, as for emergency conditions is allowed but still under very strict requirements. So it can be concluded that Islamic law does not allow giving birth to male obstetricians (in normal conditions), except in emergency situations where there is no other choice or in areas where there are no female obstetricians. The Aceh Ulema Consultative Assembly in the results of the ulema's plenary session on the use of defiled drugs and medical services by different sex in the Islamic perspective. With provisions, if only general treatment that does not lead to seeing vital organs in women is prohibited, much less giving birth which is clearly a male doctor looking openly and transparently and touching vital organs in female patients, then it is very not allowed in Islam, except there is no other choice.

‘Nature Concocts and Expels’

This chapter investigates the first stage of recovery in early modern perceptions, the removal of disease. It shows that three agents were responsible for ousting illness: God, Nature, and the physician. While scholars are familiar with the first and last of these forces, the vital agency of ‘Nature’, the divinely endowed ‘intrinsic agent’ of the body, has been largely overlooked. Personified both as a hardworking housewife and a warrior queen, Nature removed disease through processes that resembled cooking/cleaning and fighting, the ‘concoction’ and ‘expulsion’ of the humours. Particular attention is paid to the complex power–gender dynamic between female Nature and the male doctor: in theory, the physician was ‘Nature’s servant’, but in practice, he often became her commander, a situation which illuminates wider cultural attitudes to womankind. To demonstrate the prevalence of belief in Nature’s healing role, Galenic ideas are compared with those of the Flemish physician J. B. van Helmont.

TINJAUAN HUKUM ISLAM TERHADAP PEREMPUAN MELAHIRKAN PADA DOKTER KANDUNGAN LAKI-LAKI

In the examination of the patient, the doctor would see the nakedness of the patient to be examined and not only see the nakedness of the patientbut also touch and feel him. Whereas in Islam that same-sex genitaliathere are limits that should be seen and touched, especially the oppositesex. This study aims to determine the views of Islamic law againstpregnant women who had treatment and gave birth to the maleobstetrician. Which at the fact that pregnant women patients either anultrasound or bore little handled by a male doctor. and even most of thepregnant women are more dominant treatment in gynecologist mencompared with a specialist female, This happens mainly because theprofession obstetrician is dominated by men and also because manymothers assume that specialists content of more competent men(because physically stronger males), clever and more objective. It iscertain pregnant women who had treatment and gave birth to the maleobstetrician will reveal his private parts, genitalia fact is something thatwe must cover both men and women in order to maintain the honor inthe eyes of the beholder. So close the genitals was advocated by thereligious exception in certain circumstances and conditions whichallowed open genitalia.

“Something beneath the flesh”: Music, Gender, and Medical Discourse in the 1940s Female Gothic Film

Closely related to both film noir and the woman's film, 1940s female gothic pictures combine suspense and mystery with a focus on the subjective experience of the female protagonist. This article discusses the use of music and sound in the cinematic female gothic tradition, focusing upon two historically located films that form part of its “gaslight” subgenre:Experiment Perilous(dir. Tourneur; comp. Webb, 1944) andThe Spiral Staircase(dir. Siodmak; comp. Webb, 1946). In both films, the positioning of the female lead is mediated by the presence of a medical discourse revolving around her professional and romantic relationship with a male doctor, whose knowledge and authority also allows him to function as an unofficial investigator into the woman's persecution at the hands of a serial murderer. The female gothic soundtrack is a crucial element in the creation and communication of this gendered discourse, articulating the shifting position of characters in relation to issues of crime, criminality, and romance. Musical and vocal control reinforce the doctor's dominance whilst allying his presentation with that of an emasculated killer, and create and contain agency within complex constructions of female victimhood.

FORCED MARRIAGE: BIFURCATED VALUES IN THE UK

I begin with a story because, in reality, most law, and particularly family law, is about stories, stories of human encounters. My story is about a 16-year-old Muslim girl, let me call her Jamila (not, of course, her real name) who was born in England, and lived with her parents who originated from a small village in Asia. The family lived a very traditional life in England, alongside other families from a similar cultural background. Jamila’s parents did not wish her to be contaminated by English values which seemed so far removed from their own. Jamila’s father was concerned that his daughter had suddenly started to wet the bed at night. He took her to see an English male doctor whose surgery was close to their home in Birmingham. Jamila arrived for her appointment, beautifully dressed in a traditional salwaar kameez made of silk and chiffon. Her father wished to remain with his daughter during the consultation with the doctor. However, the doctor insisted that he respect the confidentiality between doctor and patient, an accepted essential in England, and told the father that Jamila must be allowed to speak to him on her own. The father reluctantly capitulated.

To Err is Human, to Cover up is Unforgivable

Medical history is punctuated with scandals in which things have gone wrong and have been covered up, from the Bristol heart scandal in the 1990s to the most recent example at Mid Staffordshire last year. More NHS doctors than ever before are coming into contact with the General Medical Council (GMC). Latest figures from the GMC show that the number of doctors subject to an enquiry increased by 11% in the period 2008–2009, with a rise of 30% of cases appearing in front of interim order panels. If you are a male doctor aged 40 or over you should probably keep reading this article…
