An order of Health revives the war between doctors and nurses
Doctors criticize the decision by the Ministry to allow graduates prescription medicines, which "poses a risk to patients' Recipients recall that already do cures and authorize the basic drugs
A nurse applies an injection to a patient.
The war is served and no one has clear who administer anesthesia to the wounded. The Ministry of Health approved in a matter of days (maybe even before the elections) Ministerial Order by which nurses and podólogos will not have to wait for the signature of a doctor to administer a drug or to tighten a bandage every time a patient with a minor ailment comes to a query. In principle, they would be 21 drugs and another two dozen products (such as dressings or esparadrapos) to be applied without the prior clearance from the doctor.
And in this that schools medical officers across Spain have risen in arms. The more belligerent in their protest has been the institution of Cadiz, which yesterday included in a series of press advertisements criticizing this decision and warning of a rule that "can put at risk the health of citizens," stated in the release. For them, the prescription can only come from the pen of a professional degree in medicine (or in dentistry since the law empowers dentists).
Two are the risks that would result from the extension in decision-making, according to doctors: a confusion in diagnosis, "cataloguing as mild symptoms which may correspond to a serious illness," and committing "mistakes in prescribing , either because they are not adjusted indicated that corresponds to the disease or because there are interactions with other drugs being taken by the patient. "
A "legalization"
Since the Ministry of Health has admitted that advertising is the first of its kind to be produced in the country and defended its decision by a simple question of functionality. "In fact, nurses and podólogos throughout Spain already follow this practice, which is bringing to this group of droit ', sources claim the central government. Moreover, the Executive wants socialist development of the provision 12 of the Law on Management of Health Professions adopted in 2005 (which is what establishes the order of the controversy) will be adopted "just before or just after the elections" next March 9. What replied to the protests of physicians and closes the door for a correction.
Further to the explanation put under the protection of the law a situation that repeats itself every day, the College of Nursing in Cadiz province has been estimated that college graduates can face the day up to 170 different situations in which should allow the taking of a drug without resorting to the family doctor. In these situations could recommend 170 to 200 different drugs.
Similarly, the nurses have pinned in a hundred patients daily that pass through each health center to undergo a cure. Can Prescribe? They should not use that word, and that the Ministry of Health always spoke of "authorize" and not to prescribe, because that power (at least semantically), remains in the hands of doctors.

Terminal sedation is a civil right
Luis Montes is immersed in a legal battle to restore his good name and has announced legal actions against senior politicians and journalists to calumniaron. Yesterday in Santander said that he expects the president of the Community of Madrid, Esperanza Aguirre, and his former advisor of Health, Manuel Lamela, "passing through the dock"
In January, the Justice determined that there was no medical malpractice in the Severo Ochoa hospital in Leganes, a number of whose practitioners were accused three years ago of practicing sedaciones' irregular 'on terminally ill. And yesterday, the Forum Becedo discussion saluted the main suspect. Dr. Luis Montes spoke at the School of Boating 'Sedation in terminally ill patients' and before, declared to the media that death with dignity "is a civil right" and urged all families who feel that it is refusing to complain.
Do you think that this society accepts and supports, especially, are well informed about what is the terminal sedation?
--Informed-in technical terms, no. But it needs. From my long experience, when it attends to a patient, and the prognosis is infausto, and we know that death is a matter of hours, the first response is to assume the relatives hard drink. The duel, in which the doctor tries to follow. And, secondly, is to ask that the dying will not suffer. This petition is assuming sedation and is universal. I have not seen absolutely anyone claiming to be left to die in pain someone dear.
Why not take this practice as a treatment?
--Well, the last time this had much to do with the brutal media campaign undertaken by the Ministry of Health against Severo Ochoa, in which even came to say that this was not a conventional therapy. Faced with this great campaign of fear, and with all the lies that were knowingly, there was a strong process of loss of confidence in the doctor-patient relationship. It should be borne in mind that there were people who were in the media, that his father had entered on his own foot in the hospital and, within a few hours, that person was tranquillized. How is left to say this now that the physician-patient relationships are so cross with continuous information to families about what was being done?. Nor can it be that in this country, as a result of this problem some autonomous communities have developed protocols on the matter and others do not. Today you die with more dignity in Andalusia, where doctors have a guide for symptomatic treatments, which in Madrid.
With the strong-created controversy surrounding the case Leganes was generated against a campaign with the slogan 'I also wish that I meet Dr. Montes'. Is this or is gratified and there's nothing to compensate for what happened?
- Of course it is a form of gratification. I maintain that terminal sedation is a civil right, perfectly regulated in our legislation. The only thing missing is a regulation that disclosure in this country and there is a right to die with dignity, and the non-receipt, you can complain. Because the terminal sedation is not punishable. Quite the opposite, which is punishable omit it. Although maybe this time is not the best election to open this debate.

British Scientists call into question juiciola effectiveness of Prozac
1. • A study shows that antidepressants work only in the most serious cases
2. • The report suggests that the effect of these drugs is similar to a placebo
The Prozac and Seroxat are two of the most popular drugs in the world, but their effectiveness is now questioned. A study conducted by the University of Hull (United Kingdom) suggested that the new generation of antidepressants do not benefit the majority of patients to consume. Apparently, this type of medication, which controls the levels of serotonin in the brain, only help those who suffer the most severe cases of depression.
Experts from the United Kingdom and Canada have reviewed nearly half a hundred clinical trials, as well as some unpublished data that the laboratories had not made public so far and they finally had to reveal necessarily to be relied on British law on freedom of information. Ade -
More than those already mentioned, the researchers examined two other drugs, Serzone and Effexor. And the conclusion is that it seems that there are few reasons to prescribe antidepressants except for patients with more severe depression "as -

The effect of the medication in people suffering from depression lighter is virtually zero and similar to that of a placebo. The research suggests that the impact of these drugs could be basically psycho -
Naturally, to make them feel better their capture by the simple fact of believing in them.
40 MILLION CONSUMERS
Predictably, the laboratories have rejected the results, published in the Public Library of Science publication. A spokesman for the multinational pharmaceutical GlaxoSmithKline, the manufacturer Serotax, argued that the study "has taken into account only a small segment of all available data." Eli Lilly, which markets Prozac, medicine who consume 40 million people around the world, adding that "extensive scientific and medical experiments have demonstrated the effectiveness of antidepressants."
The economic interests at stake are enormous and Tim Kendall, deputy director of the Research Division of the Royal College of Psychiatrists, recalled that the laboratory work published only favorable to their products.
Many experts believe that another type of psychological therapy in which the patient speaks, as the cognitive behavior, would be more productive to deal with depression. Others argue that the new generation of antidepressants carry fewer side effects, though some studies linking these drugs with increased suicides. For now, the recommendation of doctors is that anyone who continue to do so until this medicándose talk with your specialist.
