Obesity may increase after liposuction: Study

Doctors̢۪ strike: Get back to work at all wards, court tells YDA




LAHORE: 

The Lahore High Court (LHC) has instructed government-employed doctors to return to work at all hospital wards and end their strike completely from Sunday, while also suspending termination, suspension and show cause notices issued to the striking doctors by the Punjab government.



The court also directed the committee set up to review the doctors' demands to start negotiations with the Young Doctors Association (YDA) and conclude them within two weeks, while regularly updating the LHC on the minutes of committee meetings.


On Friday, Justice Ijazul Ahsan of the LHC had directed the doctors to "show good will by calling off the strike immediately and commencing work at emergencies at 9am on Saturday".


Members of the YDA have been boycotting their jobs at outpatient departments at public hospitals since June 18. They expanded the strike to include emergency wards earlier this month after the Punjab government adopted a more aggressive approach to try and end it.


While the YDA took Friday's order to mean they could continue with their strike at wards other than emergency care, Justice Ahsan made clear in Saturday's order that he expected the doctors to return to work at all wards from 8pm on Sunday.


Asked by reporters outside the courtroom if the YDA would now end its strike, YDA Punjab President Dr Hamid Butt and General Secretary Dr Sohail Nasir said that this would be decided at a meeting of the YDA's general council.


Muhammad Azhar Siddiqui, counsel for the petitioners who had challenged the strike in the LHC, said that the YDA representatives' statement was tantamount to contempt of court. He said that he would file a contempt plea on Monday against the doctors if they did not return to work.


Harassment and contempt


In Saturday's proceedings, YDA counsel Advocate Raja Zulqarnain said that the government was continuing to harass the young doctors despite the court's unambiguous instructions on Friday to desist. He said that doctors had been served show cause and termination notices after Friday's proceedings, which showed the government's contempt for the court orders.


Additional Advocate General Faisal Zaman rejected the charge, saying that the show cause notices and termination letters had been issued to the doctors on Friday morning, before the court gave its directions.


He argued that all the actions taken by the government were lawful under the Punjab Employees Efficiency, Discipline and Accountability Act. He said after the court's orders, the health secretary had issued a notification mentioning the LHC order and forwarded it to the home secretary, the Lahore police chief and other departments concerned.


Justice Ahsan asked the YDA counsel to file a separate petition against the alleged harassment. He gave the YDA president time to detail the allegedly illegal actions taken by the government against the protesting doctors.


The judge assured the doctors that the court would not allow any illegal action. He said that the doctors' demands for a revised service structure were not unreasonable.


Zaman argued that the service structure matter was before the Supreme Court and the LHC should await its verdict. He said a committee set up by the SC had already proposed a service structure.


About the murder case against several doctors at Mayo Hospital over the death of a child, Advocate Zulqernain said that the government had passed the Punjab Healthcare Commission Act in 2010 under which the police could not register murder cases against doctors until the matter was referred to the commission. He said a case could only be registered against doctors under Section 322 (manslaughter).


But Zaman argued that Section 322 applied only if a patient died while receiving medical treatment. In this case, he said, the infant died because he was denied medical treatment.


He said that the child had been buried without an autopsy but the police would exhume the body to determine cause of death. On the request of the father, the judge ordered the government to set up a medical board to supervise the exhumation process and the post-mortem. The court also directed the investigating officer to submit a challan by Monday against the doctors involved in the murder case.


Representatives of the Young Doctors Association were asked in court if they would end their strike completely if the arrested doctors were released. They were unable to give a definitive answer on this.


The judge directed the assistant advocate general to present arguments on why a murder case had been registered against the doctors when the hearing resumes on July 13. He asked the YDA counsel to file a separate petition for the cancellation of the murder FIR.

Wimbledon 2012: Serena becomes queen of grass again




LONDON: 

Serena Williams was crowned Wimbledon champion for the fifth time as the American subdued a brave fightback from Polish third-seed Agnieszka Radwanska to win 6-1, 5-7, 6-2 in a dramatic final.



Serena, who pockets a cheque for £1.15 million, is the first woman over 30 to win Wimbledon since Martina Navratilova in 1990 and she needed all the experience gathered over her illustrious career to survive a remarkable revival from Radwanska. After being completely out-classed for the first set and a half of her maiden Grand Slam final, Radwanska had Serena on the ropes before the sixth-seed finally recovered her composure to reclaim the Venus Rosewater Dish in just over two hours on Centre Court.


Serena's first Grand Slam since 2012


Williams has now equalled her sister Venus's tally of five titles at the All England Club, but more significantly the 30-year-old's 14th Grand Slam crown is her first at the majors since her last Wimbledon triumph in 2010.


"I can't even describe it," said Serena after her triumph. "I almost didn't make it a few years ago. I was in hospital but now I'm here again and it was so worth it. I'm so happy. Just never give up, you can continue. Thank you, guys in the box today, daddy, mum – I can't name everyone one but thank you from the bottom of my heart. Radwanska played so well and that's why she's had such a great career. You guys should give her another round of applause."


Inspired by the painful memory of her shock French Open first round exit against Virginie Razzano last month, Serena has spent the last month in a determined bid to re-establish her primacy. It is mission accomplished, but only just. Radwanska had been so severely affected by an upper respiratory illness over the last few days that she withdrew from the doubles and cancelled her pre-match media commitments.


The 23-year-old, the first Pole to reach a Grand Slam final for 73 years, recovered sufficiently to play, but she might have wished she was back in her sick bed in the first set.


"I'm still shaking so much," said the Pole. "I think I had the best two weeks of my life. She was too good today but I'm just so happy to be here in the final. I think it was not my day but I'll try again next year."


Serena's success has its foundations in a serve so powerful and accurate that John McEnroe describes it as the greatest the women's game has ever seen. Williams has backed up McEnroe's view throughout this year's Wimbledon, hammering down 24 aces in her semi-final win over Azarenka to break the record of 23 she set earlier in the tournament.


Serena


"I can't even describe it. I almost didn't make it a few years ago. I was in hospital but now I'm here again and it was so worth it. I'm so happy.  Just never give up, you can continue."


Radwanska


"I'm still shaking so much. I think I had the best two weeks of my life. She was too good today but I'm just so happy to be here in the final. I think it was not my day but I'll try again next year."
