Dear Colleagues,

The DMC elections are due on 4th October and its time to elect 8 members from amongst yourselves. I am also contesting the elections to be member of the DMC. The major agenda is to promote CMEs and fight for a Doctor’s Protection Cell that is currently lacking in DMC. If a doctor has any grievance where should he or she go? It’s the DMC that should help. I seek your support for the same. Kindly pass on the message to others in my support.

The death of Michael Jackson has focused attention on physicians who prescribe controlled dangerous substances (CDS) to patients over extended periods of time. The media has been focusing on Jackson rehearsing for his London tour and questioning how could he have the physical stamina to perform if he was addicted to controlled substances. He never seemed to be an addict. But the medical fact is that those who are addicted to CDS rarely look like drug addicts. These individuals often hold high level jobs, are well-dressed, well-nourished, and well-spoken. They present as anything but the stereotypical street addict. They are lawyers, doctors, business executives and, entertainers.
