Bullying of junior doctors prevails in Irish health system: a bitter reality.

Workplace bullying in health systems is a well known fact. It leads to not only breakdown in teamwork but also has significant affect on the individual's personal life. True prevalence of bullying in junior doctors working in Ireland is unknown. Our aim of study was to find out the prevalence of bullying in junior doctors working hospitals in south and western counties of Ireland and to assess its effects on the productivity of work and family life and to identify the common source of bullying. We carried out a questionnaire survey. A total of 950 questionnaires were sent. Response rate was 51%. Our sample is 15% of the target population of all the hospital junior doctors. 30% of the responders claimed to be subjected to one or more bullying behaviors. Doctors from European Union (EU) reported significantly less rate of bullying compares to non EU doctors. Our results are in line with the results of studies conducted in United Kingdom. This study shows the magnitude and source of the problem. We conclude that bullying is a common problem in Irish health system. Increased awareness and zero tolerance are required to eradicate bullying.

[Bitter and gilded pills: psychiatry in the light (or shadow) of the pharmaceutical industry].

Psychotropic medication has brought about far-reaching changes in psychiatry: in its nature and practice, its image of man and its public image. Never before have so many psychotropic drugs been prescribed for young people. 'Difficult' children are now referred to as ADHD children and moody youngsters are given antidepressants. In adult psychiatry treatment is being dictated more and more by protocols and guidelines: very often medication is the treatment of choice. The reasons for this are largely economic. Increasingly 'research' is being sponsored by the pharmaceutical industry. Published research results are often skewed so as to favour the sponsor. Some scientific journals owe their survival to drug advertisements. Even some patient organisations are supported by the pharmaceutical industry. How will psychiatry and mental health care be able to escape from this 'straightjacket' in the future? The purpose of this polemical essay is to draw the attention of health care professionals and researchers to this rather worrying development.

HIV and childbearing.1. Uncertain risks and bitter realities: the reproductive choices of HIV-infected women.

Although most babies born to women with HIV will not develop AIDS, many health professionals and segments of the public object when these women will not forgo pregnancy. Such a view fails to consider fully the cultural, political, and socioeconomic contexts in which seropositive women make reproductive choices. HIV infection is only one of many conditions of chronic disease that can be passed from a woman to her fetus, and should not be singled out as a target for coercive policies. Rather, government and society have an obligation to empower women to protect themselves against HIV infection in the first place, and to offer them options for self-esteem and achievement independent of reproduction.
