It is a critical factor influencing healthcare quality, patient outcomes, and overall well-being in medical professionals. This study aimed to determine Job Satisfaction among medical doctors in Nepal. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among medical doctors of Nepal between June 2023 and August 2023 after obtaining ethical approval from the Ethical Review Board of Nepal Health Research Council. A convenience sampling method was used. The point estimate was calculated at a 95% Confidence Interval. Results: Among 380 participants, 63 (16.58%) (12.84-20.32 at 95% Confidence Interval) expressed satisfaction. The number of satisfied participants above 40 years were 10 (16%) and less than 40 years were 53 (84%). Out of 63, 46 (73.02%) were male and 17 (26.98%) were females. Conclusions: Job satisfaction among doctors practicing in Nepal was found to be lower than the studies conducted in similar settings.Publication Nimesulide-induced Erythema Multiforme Major: A Case Report(Nepal Medical Association, 2024) Dahal, Agnimshwor; Dhungel, Prakash; Thapa, Astha; Gyawali, Jeevan; Shah, Amin; Khadgi, Pujan; Chauhan, Bhim; Karki, Prashanna Dip; Shahi, NisthaAbstract Erythema Multiforme Major (EMM) is a rare hypersensitivity reaction that primarily affects the skin and mucosa, typically self-limiting. This case discusses a patient who developed severe EMM lesions after consuming nimesulide, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), for abdominal discomfort. Patient was admitted to the hospital, the drug was discontinued, and supportive measures such as pain management and fluid replacement were initiated. This case, being the first to identify nimesulide as a possible trigger for EMM, aims to contribute to the growing body of knowledge on this topic. It emphasizes the need for vigilance and swift intervention for unusual drug reactions.
