Abstracts of Lectures
Lecture 1: Introduction to Medical
Professionalism

Human behavior in social intercourse should be regulated by a code of conduct for the
achievement of objectives can take place in an effective, beneficial and based on humanity.
Basically, all the values and norms are used as guidelines for ethical and moral rules of life.
Ethical and moral terms are often interchangeable. In general, guidelines on ethics-related
and should not be something that is done, because closely related to human dignity, is
absolute, objective, persistent, for long time. Meanwhile, the term moral mezabs practically
what made it good or bad. Related to moral values may grow or change as a period of time,
developmental age, ethnicity or place. Ethics and morals then become the basic of rules or
social norms as legal norms, etiquette, code of ethics, religion and other.
The doctor patient relationship is a part of social life. This relationship is meant to be a
common goal in meeting the needs. Therefore, the code of ethics that govern the doctorpatient relationship must be based on ethics and morals and related to law, etiquette and or
religion.

Lecture 2 : Biomedical Ethics


Learning Outcome
Critically analyse ethical issues commonly encountered in medical practice.
Apply the principles of biomedical ethics and ethical reasoning to formulate a framework
of ethical-decision making.
Demonstrate the ability to resolve ethical issues faced during common clinical scenarios.
Identify the ethical aspects involved in conducting research and apply ethical principles in
conducting research.
The global medical profession has maintained simple ethical standards for more than 4,000
years. A code of professional conduct like the Hippocratic Oath ("First of all, do no harm")
have shaped and guided the development of ethical standards in the medical profession to
maintain publics trust. Nowadays, developments in science and technology in the twentieth
century have led to advances in medicine and health care that have benefited millions of
lives. The changing context in which health care is provided has created new challenges for
health workers, health researchers, and the broader health care of the community.
Recently, the system of medical regulation through which doctors are held to account has
come under sustained criticism. A series of public inquiries have revealed incompetence,
dishonesty, and sexual misconduct by individual doctors, as well as weaknesses in systems
that failed to detect deviant behavior early and then to take action to protect patients. And
also, medical professionals increasingly find themselves confronted with moral questions
and ethical dilemmas. Professional misconduct, immoral and unethical decisions will cause
the erosion of patients trust that will lead to the end of the golden age of doctoring.
Biomedical ethics is one of the fundamental tools to maintain the publics trust in the medical
profession, encouraging the public to continue seeking for medical services. Applying
principles of biomedical ethics and prima facie duties in daily medical practice will sharpen

the ethical reasoning ability. Knowing how to think ethically is very important, since it will set
a framework for moral decision making, because poor reasoning can lead to bad decisions,
and consequent harm to the patient and others.
According to World Medical Association (WMA), biomedical ethics is the study of moral
issues that occur in medicine, healthcare and the biological sciences. It has four major
subdivisions: clinical ethics, which deals with issues in patient care; research ethics, which
deals with the protection of human subjects in healthcare research; professional ethics;
which deals with the specific duties and responsibilities that are required of physicians and
other healthcare professions (medical ethics is one type of professional ethics); and public
policy ethics, which deals with the formulation and interpretation of laws and regulations on
bioethical issues.

Lecture 3: Informed Consent


Patients are entitled to make decisions about their medical care and to be given relevant
information on which to base such decisions. The physician's obligation to obtain the
patient's consent to treatment is grounded in the bioethical principles of patient autonomy
and respect for persons and is affirmed by Indonesian law and professional policy. A large
body of research supports the view that the process of obtaining consent can improve
patient satisfaction and compliance and, ultimately, health outcomes.
Physician must disclose relevant and detail information, so the patient can understand it
clearly. Both elements are necessary for valid consent. Physician should inform the patient
adequately about the treatment and its expected effects, relevant alternative options and
their benefits and risks, and the consequences of declining or delaying treatment. The
physicians goal is to disclose information that a reasonable person in the patient's position
would need in order to make an informed decision. Therefore, physician may need to
consider how the proposed treatment (and other options) might affect the patient's
employment, finances, family life and other personal concerns. Physician may also need to
be sensitive to cultural and religious beliefs that can affect disclosure.
The situation in which an adult lacks the capacity, for whatever reason, to make an informed
decision is somewhat confused. Where a patient is suffering from a mental condition, he
may be given treatment for his mental condition without consent. In emergency, such as an
accident where the victim is unconscious or shocked, no permission is necessary and
doctors must do as they think best for the patient in those urgent circumstance. Exceptions
to the principle of informed consent also occur with regard to persons with impaired, such as
children who are usually represented by a third party, such as parents or other close

relatives, vis--vis the physician. Substitute decision-making poses two main questions:
Who should make the decision for the incapable person, and, how should the decision be
made? To answer these questions, physician should become familiar with the legal
requirements.

Physicians are obliged to keep information about their patients secret. The understanding
that the physician will not disclose private information about the patient provides a
foundation for trust in the therapeutic relationship. Respect for confidentiality is firmly
established in codes of ethics and in law. It is sometimes necessary, however, for
physicians to breach confidentiality. Physicians should familiarize themselves with
legislation governing the disclosure of certain kinds of information without the patients
authorization. Even when no specific legislation applies, the duty to warn sometimes
overrides the duty to respect confidentiality. The physician should disclose only that
information necessary to prevent harm, and should reveal this information only to those who
need to know it in order to avert harm. Whenever possible any breach of confidentiality
should be discussed with the patient beforehand.

Lecture 5: Professional Personal Attribute

People come to physician for help with their most pressing needs-relief from pain and
suffering and restoration of health and well being. They allow physicians to see, touch and
manipulate every part of their bodies, even the most intimate. They do this because they
trust their physicians to act in their best interests.
What constitutes a good doctor? Is technical proficiency sufficient to be a good
doctor? Clearly, a physician cannot lack necessary technical knowledge and skills and still
be a good doctor. Less clear is whether a technically proficient physician can lack
interpersonal skills necessary to relate well to patients and still be a good doctor. The
physicians interpersonal skills are critical to establishing strong, trust-based physicianpatient relationships that offer multiple benefits. Most patients want a strong relationship
with a primary care physician.
The quality of a patients relationship with a physician can affect not only a patients
emotional responses but also behavioral and medical outcomes such as compliance and
recovery. Consequently, physicians have been urged to improve their communication and
patient education techniques, develop their empathetic abilities, encourage participative
decision making, and convey respect and dignity.
Patients need good doctors. Good doctors make the care of their patients their
first concern; they are competence, keep their knowledge and skills up to date,
establish and maintain good relationships with patients and colleagues, are honest
and trustworthy, and act with integrity.

Lecture 6: Patients Right

Patient rights have recently become the centre of national attention in the practice of
medicine. Patient rights encompass legal and ethical issues in the provider-patient
relationship, including a person's right to privacy, the right to quality medical care without
prejudice, the right to make informed decisions about care and treatment options, and the
right to refuse treatment.
The purpose of delineating patient rights is to ensure the ethical treatment of persons
receiving medical or other professional health care services. Without any exception, all
persons in all settings are entitled to receive ethical treatment.
A patient's rights occur at many different levels, and in all specialties. The American Medical
Association (AMA) outlines fundamental elements of the doctor-patient relationship in their
Code of Medical Ethics. These rights include the following:

Lecture 7: Patients Autonomy


Medical care in the United States has rapidly moved away from a paternalistic approach to
patients and toward an emphasis on patient autonomy. At one extreme end of this spectrum
is the independent choice model of decision making, in which physicians objectively
present patients with options and odds but withhold their own experience and
recommendations to avoid overly influencing patients. This model confuses the concepts of
independence and autonomy and assumes that the physician's exercise of power and
influence inevitably diminishes the patient's ability to choose freely. It sacrifices competence
for control, and it discourages active persuasion when differences of opinion exist between
physician and patient. This paper proposes an enhanced autonomy model, which
encourages patients and physicians to actively exchange ideas, explicitly negotiate
differences, and share power and influence to serve the patient's best interests.
Recommendations are offered that promote an intense collaboration between patient and
physician so that patients can autonomously make choices that are informed by both the
medical facts and the physician's experience (Quill T.E., Brody, H., 2004).

Lecture 8: Empathy
The origin of the word empathy dates back to the 1880s, when German psychologist
Theodore Lipps coined the term "einfuhlung" (literally, "in-feeling") to describe the emotional
appreciation of another's feelings. Empathy has further been described as the process of
understanding a person's subjective experience by vicariously sharing that experience while
maintaining an observant stance. Even more simply stated, empathy is the ability to "put
oneself in another's shoes."
Effective empathetic communication enhances the therapeutic effectiveness of the
doctor-patient relationship. Appropriate use of empathy as a communication tool facilitates
the clinical interview, increases the efficiency of gathering information, improved health
outcomes, better patient compliance, reduction in medical-legal risk, and improved
satisfaction of clinicians and patients.
Empathy was known as "bedside manner," a quality considered innate and
impossible to acquire. More recently, greater emphasis has been placed on empathy as a
communication tool of substantial importance in the medical interview, and many experts
now agree that empathy and empathetic communication are teachable, learnable skills.
Because empathy is such a powerful communication skill in medical practice, the
clinicians would scramble to learn about and use it at every available opportunity.

Lecture 9: Awareness to diversity in medical


practices

Culture consists of pattern, explicit and implicit, of and for behavior acquired and transmitted
by symbols, constituting the distinctive achievement of human groups. Culture is a human
creation, which includes codes of behavior, language, ritual and system of beliefs. The
essential core of culture consists of traditional ideas and especially their attached values. So
culture is learned, shared, ideas about and patterns of behavior.
A society is an organized group of individuals with specific boundaries, or criteria, of
membership. We will speak of both societies and cultures in term of levels of inclusiveness
(about gender as the cultural construction, values, norms and belief). Factors inherent
within a given culture are also likely to influence deeply the perception and definition
of illness, and any consequent actions. Although this subject highlights the different
influence on health and many this factors are inter-related.

Lecture 10: Legal Aspect of Medical


Practice

According to the Assembly of Indonesian Law of Health, Law of Health includes all
regulation that is directly related to maintenance/services of health care and its application,
which includes Civil Code, Criminal Code and Law of Administration. Law of Health is
divided into two, direct and indirect.
Direct Law of Health is a law regulation that is directly related to maintenance of
health, such as:

Act Number. 29 Year 2004 concerns of Medical Practice


Act Number 36 Year 2009 concerns of Health

Indirect Law of Health includes all application of law regulation that is related to law
specialization, such as: Civil Code, Criminal Code and Law of Administration which can be
implied in maintenance/services of health care.
The purpose of Law of Health is to provide legal protection and assurance to both giving
and receiving parties in health care services. Thus, Law of Health consists of:

Medical/Dentistry Law

Clinical Pharmacy Law

Hospital Law

Community Health Law

Etc.

Medical Law is a Law of Health in a constricted meaning, which is also the core of Law
of Health which regulates the medical services. The meaning of Medical Law is divided into
a broad and constricted meaning.
Medical Law in the broad meaning is all the regulations in medical services, such as
medical services provided by doctors, dentists, nurses, and laboratories.
Medical Law in the constricted meaning is all the regulations that only cover the
doctors professions, such as:

Doctor-patient relationship

Medical Record and medical Confidentiality

Informed Consent

Medical malpractice

Euthanasia

Etc.

Drug can be formulated as one single active or multiple active ingredients to prevent,
minimize, eliminate, or cure the disease or symptoms of the diseases, or physical and
mental illness.
Based on the safety of drugs, there are 3 drug categories namely over the counter (OTC)
medicine, prescribed medicine, and narcotics. OTC medicine which colored with green and
blue circle can be collected from pharmacy without prescription while prescribed medicine
colored with red circle should be collected by prescription. Narcotics may result in addiction
and it should be collected by prescription only.

Lecture 12: Criminal Law and Medical


Malpractice

In general, the understanding of criminal law is the law which legislate and control a
humans forbidden act and when this is disobeyed, the respected person will be charged
according to law. A doctor is said to have done a criminal act when he/she breaks the rules
stated in Indonesian Criminal Law (KUHP), and other laws, for an example, Law of
Health.
A patient or his/her familys dissatisfaction towards a medical care received from a
doctor or a hospital can evoke a legal action. The legal action occurred perhaps not
because of the mistake done by a doctor or the hospital, but because of the breach in
medical ethics, medical disciplines, or even the criminal act and the medical malpractice
itself. Occurrence of medical malpractice is solely because of the doctors negligence which
causes loss for the patient and his/her family. To prove a malpractice has occurred, there
are two proving procedures or mechanism, the first is direct proving method using 4D
criteria; Duty, Dereliction of duty, Damage and Direct causation. The second proving
procedure is via indirect method using doctrine Res Ipsa Loquitor (the thing speaks for
itself).

Medical Certification and Visum et Repertum
(Medico-legal report)
Doctor who main profesion for health sevices also has responsibility to make
medical documents in form of certificate needed by patient, third party and state in the name
of law. These medical documents consist of Health Certificate, Sick Leave Certificate,
Certificate of non-infected from any contagious disease and etc. There are trends of upward
need to medical certificate for many different purposes according to development of medical
technology and science. Nowadays, Certificate of Patternity, Certificate of Gender,
Certificate of Virginity and etc are frequently needed.
Basic principal of medical certificate on medicolegal aspect mainly consist of fact
and medical opinion. Facts based on medical examination meanwhile medical opinion made
according to medical procedure. Therefore, medical certificates are tightly attached to
medical confidentiality.
Doctor profession has many responsibilities, one of them is legal duty. This
responsibility is an obligation mainly assisting law and trial process. For instance, Visum et
repertum is medical certificate made for law enforcement. The division of visum et repertum
depends on substance needed by the state. Generally, it is differentiated in to Psychiatric
Visum et Repertum and Physical Visum et Repertum. Physical Visum et repertum can be
divided in to death victim Visum et repertum and live victim Visum et repertum. Meanwhile

live victim visum et repertum can be made for physical violence and toxin VeR and sexual
harassment VeR.
Medical record in other hand is a note for all medical information collected from
patient examination and analysis including medical procedure performed. Medical record is
compulsory to all practicing doctor which has function for administration, legal, financial,
research data and education. Its legal function needed as a source for medical certificate
and VeR aside used as written evidence on medical dispute.

prevent the spreading of infection and safe patients life. The family agreed, but the patient
did not. The family followed the doctor reasoning: I do not want the patient to die merely
because of gangrene and diabetes. Then the doctor told the family that if the patient fell
into a coma, the doctor would have the right to undertake a professional intervention to save
his life without having to obtain the patients approval. Once the patient went into coma, the
doctor asked the family to sign the informed consent for the amputation. The amputation
was finally done.

CASE
Paul Farmer is a physician and anthropologist who for the last two decades has split his
time between Harvard and a medical clinic in rural Haiti. He has watched HIV/AIDS since its
earliest days in Haiti, and his writings put the pandemic into its historical and international
context.
In the early 1980s, Haiti had become the symbol of AIDS for North Americans, but
this was merely the latest definition of Haiti for Americans. For 200 years Haiti had been a
dark, sinister place. From the time of Columbus, the island was exploited by the Spanish
and then the French. As the Indian population died off, enslaved Africans were brought in to
work the plantations. Serious slave uprisings began in 1971, and by 1804 the Republic of
Haiti had become only the second country to free itself from European colonial rule. But the
first such country, the United States, still maintained slavery, and the example of Haitis
violent slave revolt terrified the planters of the American South. From the mid-19th century
the United States regularly sent warships to protect American interests in Haiti, and from
1915 to 1937 the U.S. Marines occupied Haiti.
Voodoo, with its dark, ecstatic rituals, added to the sinister image of this troublesome
land. In the early years of HIV/AIDS, when it was little understood, and when many poor
refugees from Haiti were found to be HIV positive, it was easy for North Americans to blame
Haitians for the disease.
From the Haitian standpoint, however, AIDS was just the latest indignity foisted on
the country from the United States. But a more proximate reason for the illness was
explained by Haitian folk beliefs in witchcraft-someone has sent misfortune to another. In his
earlier work(e.g., 1992) Paul Farmer emphasized the atmosphere of accusation and
counteraccusation that characterized the early days of HIV/AIDS, as well as the historical
and cultural contexts from which these accusations were made. In his later work (1999) he
concentrates on the effects of poverty. HIV/AIDS cannot be curred, but it can be controlled
by massive and very expensive medication that is simply out of reach of most Haitian
peasents :
One can be impressed by the power of modern medicine and yet dejected by
our failure to deliver it equitably . . . Moving along the fault lines of society,
HIV continues to entrench itself among the worlds poor and marginalized.
(Farmer, 1999:264-265)
And so this medical anthropologist, after years of facing the biological, cultural, and
historical aspects of HIV/AIDS, winds up with the realization that it is the inequalities built
into the transnational social system that will sustain and spread HIV/AIDS among the poor.
And once more we see the utility of thinking in terms of a biocultural model, for neither part
can be understood alone.(Heider, 2004 in Seeing Anthropology 3rd ed. p 414-415).
Learning Task
1.What is Haitian think about HIV/AIDS? Discuss with your group!
2. What is your perception of health?
3. What do we mean by illness? What the different with disease?
4. What do we mean by seeking behavior?
5. Why culture has important role to human health and illness?
6. Why physician have to understand about diversity and multiculturalism in the
societies?
7. Discuss, how are you develop the strategies of cross-cultural perspective in the
case above.
8. What are another determinant factor of the disease above that Paul Farmer
thought?

LATAR BELAKANG
Profesi dokter memiliki berbagai tanggung jawab meliputi tanggung jawab terhadap
pasien, tanggung jawab moral (moral duty), tanggung jawab hukum (legal duty) dan
tanggung jawab terhadap sesama dokter. Tanggung jawab moral berhubungan dengan
etika kedokteran sedangkan tanggung jawab hukum merupakan tanggung jawab profesi
terhadap negara. Dalam tanggung jawab hukum, profesi medis harus menerapkan
(aplikasi) ilmu dan teknologi kedokteran untuk membantu proses hukum dan peradilan.
Tanggung jawab hukum bersifat obligasi (keharusan) tidak bisa ditolak oleh seorang
dokter,karena akan dikenakan sanksi hukuman. Disamping itu,tanggung jawab hukum
secara universal di seluruh dunia berdasarkan konsep balancing public interest yang
menekankan dalam memenuhi tanggung jawab hukum dapat mengabaikan tanggung jawab
lainnya.
Salah satu tanggung jawab hukum bagi profesi dokter adalah pembuatan sertifikasi
medis baik untuk kepentingan masyarakat maupun kepentingan hukum. Sertifikasi medis
untuk masyarakat seperti penerbitan Surat Keterangan Medis dan Surat Keterangan
Kematian. Sedangkan untuk kepentingan hukum, sertifikasi medis berupa Laporan Medikolegal (medico legal report). Laporan Medikolegal di Indonesia secara khusus diberikan
nama VISUM ET REPERTUM.
Jumlah dan jenis sertifikasi medis berkembang sesuai dengan State of the art dari
perkembangan IPTEKDOK, sehingga sekarang banyak ragam sertifikasi medis, seperti
Surat keterangan keayahan, surat keterangan tidak berpenyakit menular, surat keterangan
kegadisan dan lain sebagainya.
Konsep dasar sertifikasi medis adalah FAKTA dan PENDAPAT yang disampaikan
secara tertulis oleh dokter tentang apa yang diperiksanya. Fakta merupakan bukti fisik dan
pendapat merupakan opini berdasarkan keilmuan kedokteran.
Sehubungan dengan Visum et Repertum, penerbitannya diatur oleh hukum positif di
Indonesia khususnya pasal 133 KUHAP. Sebagai Keterangan Ahli tertulis, Visum et
Repertum diatur dalam pasal 179 KUHAP dan pasal 180 KUHAP.
Istilah Visum et Repertum hanya ada di Indonesia dan tidak pernah ditemukan di
negara lainnya di dunia. Meskipun istilah Visum et Repertum hanya ada di Indonesia tetapi
konsepnya sama dengan konsep Laporan Mediko-legal di negara-negara lainnya. Secara
internasional, hukum memerlukan dua bukti yaitu bukti fisik (physical evidence) dan bukti
pendapat ( opinion evidence). Bukti fisik diperoleh dari pengamatan fisik secara implisit
yang pengertiannya sama dengan visum sedangkan bukti opini merupakan interpretasi
dari bukti fisik secara ekplisit dan pengertiannya sama dengan repertum.

Faculty of Medicine Udayana University,MEU

31

Study Guide Medical Professionalism


Kompetensi dokter sangat diperlukan profesionalitasnya dalam pendekatan implisit
dan eksplisit dari bukti yang tertuang dalam Visum et Repertum. Pendekatan implisit
(implisit reasoning) diperlukan dalam pengumpulan bukti fisik. Bukti fisik diperoleh dari
pemeriksaan dan observasi yang didasari komitmen teori, ilmu kedokteran dan tujuan medis
tertentu. Bukti pendapat (opinion evidence) merupakan interpretasi terhadap fakta medis
berdasarkan pemikiran kritis (critical thinking). Pemikiran kritis ini adalah unsur eksplisit
dalam pembuatan visum et repertum. Pemikiran kritis profesi dokter berdasarkan dua
pendekatan yaitu pendekatan medis (medical reasoning) dan pendekatan hukum (legal
reasoning).
Disamping itu, kompetansi dokter diperlukan dalam memberikan bukti yang sah dan
dapat diterima (admissible) di pengadilan berdasarkan relevansi, tidak tersanggahkan,
otentik, reliable dan tidak diperoleh dengan jalan yang melanggar hukum.
Berdasarkan uraian diatas, maka dapat disimpulkan pentingnya kemampuan klinis
pembuatan sertifikasi medis dan Visum et Repertum diberikan kepada mahasiswa
kedokteran dengan alasan sebagai berikut :
1. Profesi dokter memiliki berbagai tanggung jawab, diantaranya adalah tanggung
jawab hukum (legal duty). Tanggung jawab hukum bersifat obligasi dan didasari
konsep balancing public interest yang tidak bisa ditolak dan dapat mengabaikan
tanggung jawab lainnya.
2. Pembuatan sertifikasi medis, khususnya Visum et Repertum adalah salah satu
tanggung jawab hukum profesi dokter
3. Profesionalisme pembuatan sertifikasi medis dan Visum et Repertum harus terus
dikembangkan karena sertifikasi medis berkembang sesuai dengan state of the art
(SOTA) dari perkembangan IPTEKDOK.
4. Kompetensi dokter diperlukan untuk memberikan FAKTA dan PENDAPAT medis
secara tertulis baik untuk masyarakat maupun untuk hukum
5. Kompetensi dokter diperlukan dalam melakukan pendekatan secara implisit dalam
mengumpulkan bukti fisik dan pendekatan eksplisit dalam memberikan opini medis

TUJUAN
Tujuan Umum

sertifikasi medis dan Visum et Repertum serta mampu membuatnya secara mandiri untuk
memenuhi kewajiban hukum profesi dokter
Tujuan Khusus
