Chapter 8 Reasons for Misdiagnosis
The nurse next to him also smiled and said, "That's right, if the doctor has to listen to the patient's family, then won't you become a doctor?"
"I said I'm responsible, you just need surgery." Aunt Tian was very anxious, her voice suddenly increased, and she was almost screaming with a sharp voice.
Director Zhang frowned and said, "You cannot bear the responsibility! The patient's condition is not suitable for surgery. If the doctor forcefully performs the operation, he will make a mistake and he will be responsible for the medical accident."
Seeing that she could not convince Dr. Zhang, Aunt Tian stomped her feet and said bluntly: "Tell me the truth, you have misdiagnosed it! My husband's illness can be performed, and he must have surgery. If he doesn't have surgery, he won't be able to survive!"
Several doctors in the room were all busy, but when they heard the patient's family directly determined that the doctor was misdiagnosed in front of the doctor, their faces turned groggy and they gathered around to see Aunt Tian.
A young doctor said: "I said, this lesbian, you must have a basis for your words. You cannot say such misdiagnosis. Otherwise, we have the right to sue you for destroying the reputation of our doctor."
Aunt Tian called out in anxiety just now. Seeing several doctors surrounding her, her eyes were cold, and some people even threatened to sue her, she couldn't help but feel a little panicked. She quickly reimbursed and said, "I'm not talking nonsense, but someone told me that you misdiagnosed, saying that my husband's disease was not a cancer at all, but a bleeding from the duodenal ulcer. It can be treated surgically, and it must be treated surgically!"
"Oh, it's not cancer? Who said that?" Director Zhang said coldly.
"That fortune teller said it."
A burst of laughter broke out in the room immediately.
Director Zhang couldn't help laughing and said, "I fully understand your mood. You want to save your husband's life as much as possible. In fact, my doctor is thinking the same as your patients' family. We are also trying our best to save your husband. But unfortunately, the current medical technology has not yet been able to save your husband from the god of death. - You should go back and spend more time with your husband in his last days!"
Aunt Tian gritted her teeth, took out the note written by Xiao Ying from her pocket, and handed it over and said, "This fortune teller calculated very accurately. He calculated the reason why my husband was admitted to the hospital and diagnosed cancer. He also wrote this note for me to give you, saying that the reason for the misdiagnosis was written on it. If you don't believe it, just open your stomach and look at it, you will know that you have really misdiagnosed and know what to do. - Look quickly!"
Director Zhang did not take the note, put his hands in his white coat's pocket and said coldly: "I'm sorry, I'm going to go to the room now." Then he walked around her and walked out of the doctor's office door.
"Wait, Dr. Zhang, look at this note!" Aunt Tian was about to chase him out.
"Give it to me, I'll see." The young doctor who threatened to sue Aunt Tian just now also sympathized with Aunt Tian, apologized for her words, reached out to take this from her, and said with a kind look, "You go back to the ward first. After the director has finished checking the room, I will hand him the note, I promise!"
When Aunt Tian heard him say this, she nodded and reminded her to hand it over to Director Zhang. Then she went to her husband's ward in depressed mood.
The young doctor took the note, looked at the other doctors, and said jokingly: "Let's see how good our fortune tellers are!"
Then, he shook his head and dragged his cavity and recited the note: "Imaging shows errors. The patient + is not cancer, but an ulcer with a small mouth and a deep and wide bottom on the back wall of the duodenum. The ulcer penetrates the pancreas and causes chemical inflammation, which produces signs of enlarged pancreas and structural disorders seen in imaging examinations. The patient's obstructive jaundice is caused by the edema of the pancreatic head compressing the common bile duct, causing heavy bleeding in the digestive tract, which is caused by corrosion and rupture of an artery in the ulcer. The patient's coma is caused by hemorrhagic shock. If surgery is not immediately taken to treat the duova ulcer bleeding, the patient will die of hemorrhagic shock!"
When the young doctor began to read this passage, he was a sarcastic and joking tone, but when he was halfway through, his tone became solemn, and in the end, he was full of doubts and shock.
When he finished reading the note, he looked up and all the doctors in the room were staring at him blankly. A thought came to their minds, could a fortune teller write such a professional pathological diagnosis?
In addition to being shocked, they fell into thought because of the causes of the disease revealed by the note.
After a long time, the young doctor shrugged his shoulders easily, put the note on the table, and said, "No, duodenal ulcer bleeding? Is his fortune teller's eyes more effective than B-ultrasound, gastroenterology, cholangiopancreatography, and CT? These imaging tests prove that the patient is pancreatic head cancer. Moreover, not only is the diagnosis in our hospital, but other hospitals, including the Capital Hospital, are also pancreatic head cancer!"
Another doctor also nodded with a slight smile and said, "Yes, can we all blindly use advanced instruments? The fortune teller will calculate accurately after counting his fingers. What else do we need to do?"
A doctor touched his chin and thought for a moment, waved his hand and said, "It is impossible for a fortune teller to write such a professional diagnosis report. Maybe he is not a fortune teller, but maybe he is really a famous doctor, just using fortune teller as a cover."
All the doctors were stunned again. This may not be a bad thing. Fortune telling is nothing more than using some words to trick the other party into making the other party's words and fooling the other party. But no matter how much you fool the fortune teller can't fool it so professionally. Such an accurate description of the medical cause is not called fooling.
An old doctor with thick eyes on the bottom of a glass bottle held his glasses and said, "What this person said is not without reason. I just thought about it carefully and the possibility he mentioned actually exists. - If a duodenal ulcer penetrates the pancreas and causes chemical inflammation, imaging examinations may show signs of enlarged pancreas and structural disorders, and thus it may be misjudged as pancreatic head cancer."
Several doctors were stunned, one looked at the other without saying a word.
After a while, the old doctor said, "Or why don't we report this to Director Gao?"
"But Director Gao is taking a rest today and didn't come to work." said the young doctor.
"Call home." The old doctor said earnestly, "We have to do everything we can to save the patient's life. Now we have discovered that there may be misdiagnosis, which can save the patient's life. Why not check if it is really misdiagnosis?"
The young doctor quickly said, "But the misdiagnosis must be held responsible."
"What are you afraid of taking responsibility? Which doctor has never misdiagnosed? As long as you do your best and have a clear conscience. Now that we have discovered that there is a possibility of misdiagnosis but do not correct it, we really have to take responsibility."
The young doctor's face turned red and smiled embarrassedly and said, "I have no other meaning, I just said it casually. I agree to report to the director."
The old doctor looked around the other doctors and saw that they all nodded slowly. So he picked up the notes on the table, walked to the desk, and called the home of Director Gao of the Oncology Department of the Provincial Hospital.
As soon as I called in, before I could speak there, the old doctor hung up again and looked at several doctors and said, "Why tell the director? It is really said that the patient's family received guidance from the fortune teller and found out that we might have misdiagnosed?"
After hearing what he said, several doctors thought it was a problem. - The doctor discovered a misdiagnosis because of the guidance of a fortune teller, and it spread to the world, which really became a big joke.
Several doctors discussed and agreed to the opinions. The old doctor then coughed and called again.
A slightly hoarse voice from Director Gao of Oncology Department came from the other side of the phone: "Hey?"
"Director, this is the case. We have to report to you: After discussing the critically ill pancreatic head cancer patients in critical care, we thought it might be because the duodenal finger penetrated into the pancreas, causing chemical inflammation, causing imaging examinations to show signs of enlarged pancreas and structural disorders, and it was misjudged as pancreatic head cancer. The patient is likely to be hemorrhagic shock due to bleeding from duodenal ulcers. Therefore, it is best to have a laparotomy check."
