JAKARTA - Member of the House of Representatives from the PKB faction, Abdul Kadir Karding, has a story about the 'brainwashing' method using the Digital Subtraction Angiography (DSA) tool that has been applied by former Health Minister Terawan Agus Putranto.

Terawan Agus Putranto has now been fired from the membership of the Indonesian Doctors Association (IDI).

Based on information circulating, Dr Terawan was fired due to treatment with the 'brainwashing' method using the Digital Subtraction Angiography (DSA) tool in the treatment of stroke and the Nusantara vaccine in the prevention of COVID-19. In fact, according to Karding, this method is very beneficial for the health of the human body. Even the member of Commission VII DPR admitted that he had done the DSA twice. "I myself have experience, twice DSA was done and Alhamdulillah indeed my body feels fresh and light. In short, this is healthy," Karding said via voice message, Wednesday, March 30. I want one more time," he continued. Not only did Karding feel the benefits of DSA, but his son never had a headache again. "My son also when he was in second grade high school often had headaches and so on, complained almost every day. After being handled by Mr. Terawan, Alhamdulillah, until today, it has almost never happened again," he said. Therefore, according to Karding, the case that befell Dr. Terawan must immediately find a solution together between the two parties. "Just communicate it. Don't let IDI be accused that because people have innovation, creativity, and are different from IDI's friends, those who innovate are dismissed," said Karding. Karding suggested to IDI, not because of differences in views in medical science and then someone could be dismissed. He considered, it is better to communicate the problem of different views properly. "If there are deficiencies, what needs to be improved is communicated. So, for example, if IDI considers that a process was passed or something is lacking in its findings, then IDI must prove institutionally that you (Terawan) are lacking here," said Karding. "So don't make the relationship personal, it can't be done, but IDI is a caring institution that accommodates all doctors in Indonesia," he added.

Member of the Indonesian Doctors Association (IDI) James Allan Rarung emphasized that the decision to dismiss former Health Minister Terawan Agus Putranto from IDI membership was not yet definitive. The decision still has to go through various processes.

James as the Head of the Ethics, Discipline and Law Commission of the 31st IDI Congress in Banda Aceh 2022 said Terawan's expulsion from IDI's membership was limited to a decision of the IDI Medical Ethics Honorary Council (MKEK).

"Dr. Terawan is currently still a member of IDI. The dismissal will last for a period of 28 working days. In Article 8 point 4 ART IDI, it is stated that members who are suspended and or dismissed can defend themselves in a designated forum. So, there is still a process," said James in a written statement.
