Updating Docs

Yes the ministry is right in saying that we need to constantly update ourselves. I always look up the latest treatments on the internet and also use it as a tool to explain through images to my patients (eg. Google Image Search). However a little knowledge is sometimes dangerous.
"He said CPD was the only way to stay relevant, as “the public wants to get the latest treatment and not second or third hand-me-downs.”
“There has been a case previously where a general practitioner told a patient that there was no cure for Hepatitis. This is no longer true,” he said."

I assume he means Hep C...sure there is a cure, but it only works in about 30% or casses and costs RM$35000...

Maybe he meant HepatitisB...there's a few medication currently used to treat Hep B...alpha-interferons and nucleoside analogues
