thOrgan transplantation is a medical miracle of the 20 century. Beginning in

1936 with the first human kidney transplant, this procedure has now become a

standard operation for those with end stage organ failure. It involves replacement of

a diseased organ in the body with a healthy organ (or part of an organ) from another

body. Organs that can be transplanted include the kidney, liver, heart, lungs,

pancreas, small intestine, and various tissues such as the cornea, heart valves, bones

and tendons.(Bone marrow transplants are done for various blood disorders and are not discussed

in this article)

Organ donationis the process of giving an organ or part of an organ for the

purpose of transplantation into another person. This can be from a living person,

usually a close relative (called living donor) or from a brain dead person (called

deceased donor or cadaver donor). Organ donation after cardiac death is also

possible nowadays in a few situations (called non heart beating donor). The organs in

all these cases are removed by performing a type of surgery on the donor, living or

brain dead; they can then be transplanted straightaway, or can be stored in

specialised preservative solutions for a variable period of time. This allows organs to

be transported to a distant hospital for transplantation, but the time interval is critical

for organ viability and varies from 4 to 6 hours (heart) up to 12 to 24 hours (kidneys,

liver), after which they may become unsuitable for use.

Living donors can donate one kidney, or a portion of the liver, lung or

intestine. Living organ donation is on the rise around the world due to organ

shortages. It is more commonly used in some countries like Japan, Korea, and India.

The advantages are that the organ transplant surgery can be planned and done at themost optimal time for the patient, but sometimes, as in the case of a liver donation,

the transplant surgery can be more complex. The donor has to be motivated to help

the patient, and this usually happens in the case of close relatives. There should be no

direct monetary benefit to the donor or his family for the donation. Organ donation is

regulated in most countries and in India, the Transplantation of Human Organs Act

(THO) passed in 1994, has provisions for criminal prosecution of those involved in

commercial dealings of organs, and the doctors and hospitals that perform such

transplants are also held responsible.

ORGAN

DONATION


7/23

Living donor kidney donation, where one kidney of

a healthy donor is removed, has been carried out in

India for many years. More recently, liver donation,

where a portion of the liver is removed from the

donor, is being done. The liver has the unique

property to grow, and the liver of the donor and the

recipient grows to a full size within 3 to 6 months.The donor has to be screened and counselled in

detail about the surgery and risks involved, and

every care must be taken to ensure that there is no

pressure or coercion on the donor to donate his or

her organs.

Cadaveric (or deceased donor) organ donation is from a person who has

suffered brain death (or more correctly brain-stem death). The THO Act 1994 allows

for brain-stem death to be certified as legal death in India, and for the use of organsfrom such persons, with proper consent, for the purposes of transplantation (see box).

In India the rates of cadaver donations have been low, and this is due to several

reasons such as lack of awareness, lack of clear guidelines and co-ordination, and lack

of proper counselling. In many countries where this is better, the rates of donation are

much higher and vary from 5 per million in Hong Kong, 25 per million in USA, and 35

donations per million population in Spain, as compared to a miniscule 0.05 per million

in India. Some countries like Spain have a policy of presumed consent, where the

organs from a deceased (cadaver) donor who is declared brain dead is automatically

used for transplantation, unless there is a written declaration by the donor againstthis. Although this would greatly increase the number of organs available for

transplantation, and many countries such as the UK are looking to implement this, it

may be too drastic an option for Indian sentiments and at the present time organ

donation remains a gift and not an obligation.

Brain death and organ donation

Key points from Transplantation of Human Organs Act 1994

Aims to regulate the removal, storage and transplantation of human organs for

therapeutic purposes, and to prevent commercial dealings in organs.

Accepts 'brain-stem death' as legal death a deceased person means a

person in whom permanent disappearance of all evidence of life occurs, by

reason of brain-stem death or in a cardio-pulmonary sense at any time after

live birth has taken place.

'Brain-stem death' means when all functions of the brain stem have

permanently and irreversibly ceased.

Brain stem death has to be certified by a panel of four doctors, and a series of

tests are carried out 6 hours apart to confirm this.


8/23

Hospitals have to be registered to carry out transplant related activities

All those involved in illegal transplant activities or commercial dealing of

organs, including doctors, are liable for prosecution

Anyone may authorise before his death removal of his organs for therapeutic

purposes

In Tamil Nadu there is a well organised structure in place to facilitate organ

donations, co-ordinated by the Health Dept, Govt of Tamil Nadu. Starting in Oct 2008,

195 donors have so far contributed their organs, by far the largest in the country. Out

of this, the contribution of Apollo Chennai is the largest at 35 to 40% of donations.

Thanks to the media and wide publicity for these donations, there is much

better public awareness and acceptance in Tamil Nadu and this has also encouraged

more and more people to come forward to help others at a time of their own personal

grief. The Govt. of Tamil Nadu has also taken a series of initiatives to facilitate this

process, and has set up an advisory committee to oversee cadaver transplant activity

in the state. The Convenor of this committee ensures equitable distribution of theorgans that become available between all registered hospitals, so that the organs are

optimally utilised.

Organ donation is a very noble act, and it gives one the power to give life to

others. Whether it is living or cadaveric donation, it should always remain a truly

altruistic act, adhering to the very spirit with which organ donation was originally

conceived. As the success rates of organ transplantation increases, more and more

people suffering from end stage organ failure are looking for organ donors to prolong

their lives. As a society we should ensure that whilst giving the gift of life to others,

unethical practises are not encouraged, and the sanctity of human lives is always

placed above everything else. Dr N Murugan, MBBS, MRCPI, FRCP GSr.Consultant Hepatologist & Liver Transplant Physician

WATER SUMMITDear Colleague,

The growing concern is that very soon the demand forwater will outspace its supply capability, largely because thedecreasing availability, declining quality, and growing demand forwater are creating significant challenges to the society at large.

Come, all of us join hands to conserve water and preservewater resources.

We will soon meet at the Water Summit Organised by CIIErode.

Dr. K.M. Abul HasanChairman, CII Erode Zone

Water is a prime necessity for

humansurvival and growth ofagriculture as well as Industrialdevelopement.

More than one in six peopleworldwide-894 million - dont haveaccess to safe freshwater.

An average Indian consumes 200litersof water per day when 80 Litersis more than sufficient.

Water scarcity in India is expectedto worsen as the overall populationis expected to increase to 1.6 billionby year 2050.

General Guidelines for Doctors:

A. Accountability:

Medical Profession is normally, ethically, and legally accountable to the patients in particular and society

in general. In no way we can get out of the obligation. This aspect should be kept in mind every time you treat

the patient.

B. Communication:

Doctors are poor in communication. Many of the causes of litigations arise due to lack of proper

communication.

It is always better to create a good, Doctor-Patient Relationship Necessary information regarding the

disease and the treatment should be communicated to the patient. All their doubts have to be cleared. Try to

avoid ambiguity at all times. Be always ready to answer their questions. Never neglect the relatives and by

standers.

C. Documentation:

Even though we are taught the theory and practice of proper clinical examination of the patients and the

record keeping during the student days many of us do not follow them in our daily practice. In the O.P. Ticket,

the symptoms, signs , findings and diagnosis should be written before prescribing medicines. If need be more

than one diagnosis could be entered and the prescription must be to deal with the conditions mentioned in

the diagnosis. Provisional and tentative Diagnosis must be written if no conclusive diagnosis could be given.

While prescribing the name of the drug, its dose, the route of administration, etc. should be written clearly.

Signatures, of the doctors with the date and time must be affixed. During successive visits the dates and

progress should be mentioned. The results of X-ray and other investigations findings should be entered or

attached.

1. Name and qualification of the Doctor (qualification recognized by the Medical Council). Non Clinical

P.G. Degree or diploma can be entered but in bracket the subject should be written.

2. Name and age of the patient3. Complaints in brief

4. Important and relevant past history

5. Examination findings: important, positive as well as negative.

6. Provisional diagnosis

7. Advice for investigations, if any. X-ray, ECG, Lab. finding, (results can be written or attached )

8. Treatment fitting to diagnosis

9. Any other advice like rest, follow up, surgery, etc.

10. Recording his unwillingness for hospitalization, any other relevant matters as drug reaction, further

consultation etc.

11. Signature of the Doctor

12. Date of examination at the top or with the signature.

In the case of in patients all the above details should be entered. But history and findings should be in

more detail. Daily progress and new findings must be entered with initials of the doctor. While referring to

another specialist, address the specialist and mention why you are referring in the form of a reference letter

with your signature at the bottom. The specialist on seeing the patient must write the relevant findings,

opinion, and advice with the signature.

On discharge enter the discharge summary final diagnosis, advices and follow up instructions if any.

If the patient has undergone any surgery, operation notes should be written. On discharge always give

the discharge card containing date of admission date of discharge, final diagnosis, and advice with the follow

up instructions.

It is better to have the I.P.Chart and the case sheet in book form. In all case sheets the entries should be in

the same pattern. In case of random checkup of case sheets by an investigating officer, if one particular case

sheet contains more entries and if other differs in pattern, suspicion is bound to arise. In case of complaint or

mishap, never manipulate the case sheet, as it is likely to be found out and vitiate your veracity.

D. Consent:

Consent before any complicated diagnostic or invasive procedures, anesthesia and surgery, is a must

except in rare circumstances, such as life threatening medical emergencies, , on a court order . or at request

by the poilcie . The consent should be in local language and signed by he patient or close relatives. Theprocedure should be explained to them. An informed consent is the ideal . At least when complications are

expected , and informed consent preferably written by the close relatives of the patient is preferable. If

possible signature of the witness should be obtained.

E.Blood Transfusion

Maximum care should be taken in case of blood transfusions. The following precautions should be taken .

a) Transfuse if absolutely indicated only.

b) Same group should be transfused except in the case of emergencies.

c) All mandatory tests should be done and file the results

d) Avoid professional donors

F. NEVER DO IT

11/23


12/23


13/23


14/23

3.Adminstration of drugs which are likely to produce sensitivity without doing the sensitivity test

4. Sterlisation operation without consent.

H.Litgations

Litigations are mainly in the nature of compensations. Before taking the case to the consumer

forum, a notice may be sent to the doctor. This may be sent by the patients, relatives or through a

lawyer. There will be a time limit. For this the doctor should give a reply. If the time limit is too short, or if

you want more time after sending an initial reply and denying the charges, you can ask for extension of

time for 15-20 days. Then the detailed reply should be sent. Each point of allegations should beanswered separately. Abbreviations should be avoided and scientific explanations should be made in

simple language. Also you should ascertain that you have taken reasonable care and shall and you have

treated the patient in good faith.

Never get panicky when you get a notice. It will be better that you consult with a senior IMA

Colleague to draft the reply. Never entrust the job of drafting the reply to an advocate. An advocate can

be employed but you should draft the reply first, take it with you to the advocate, show it explain to the

advocate. Discuss with him and then if necessary, make some alterations. But the essential points

should be of yours. There is no need to incorporate too many legal points.

Sometimes after our denied reply, the matter may not proceed further, or they may drag the case to the

consumer court. At times they may come directly from the consumer forum, for which also you have togive reply in the above lines. There again if the time is not sufficient you can ask for extension. You need

not employ an advocate in the consumer forum, provided you can go yourself. In case you find it

difficult, a sensible co-operative level headed advocate may be employed. You with your colleagues

should have discussions with the advocate. A copy of the case sheet or Out Patient ticket may be

produced to the advocate. You can suggest to put the name of your willing senior colleagues of the same

discipline, as your witnesses. You should be very careful in not committing the fault, negligence or

mistake in your reply.

How to draft a reply?

Please deny all allegations of negligence and carelessness into the first paragraph itself. You can

write as I am in receipt of the notice dated sent by you with certain allegations of negligence

and carelessness attributed to the treatment given to Sri/Srimathi and as the

allegations are frivolous and baseless ; they are denied.

In the second paragraph write a detailed account of the incidence in your version, in simple

language. You should emphasise that you have taken extreme care and caution at each stage of the

treatment.

In the third paragraph attend to all the allegations one by one with your counter statement and

argument.

In the fourth paragraph write some of your arguments against the petition in general and in some

of the general facts of treatment.

If the reply is filed in the Consumer Forum as for the cost on the ground that it caused mental agony

for you by quoting section 26 of Consumer Protection Act 86 which permit compensatory loss uptoRs.10,000/-

I.UPDATING THE KNOWLEDGE:

This aspect is very important. You have to attend CME sessions and Browse Medical Websites of

authority and update your knowledge since changes are taking place routinely in the medical field.

Finally the warning you should keep it in mind , Whenever your treating a patient consider that

she/he is likely to be your future Litigant.
