Chapter 192 Is it a medical error? Or a medical accident? 4



Some doctors believe that although some subtle indicators were neglected in Hao Ren's treatment, this is difficult to completely avoid under existing medical conditions and should be considered a medical accident; while other doctors insist that this may be a medical error, because even tiny details may have a significant impact on the development of the disease, and doctors have the responsibility to conduct further investigations.

The case of the mother of triplets has sparked a heated debate. Some doctors believe that, given the patient's unique medical condition and the difficulty of the surgery, the outcome constitutes a medical accident. However, others question the situation, arguing that the preoperative risk assessment and response measures were insufficient, placing the case closer to medical malpractice.

Lin Lin listened carefully to everyone's speech. She was well aware of the difficulty and importance of this decision.

She wrote down the key questions and different opinions raised by everyone on the whiteboard. The atmosphere in the meeting room became increasingly tense. Every decision was like a weight on the scale weighing life and responsibility.

Time slipped away amidst the heated discussion. Before we knew it, several hours had passed, and everyone's eyes revealed fatigue, but more importantly, determination.

Lin Lin looked at everyone and decided to adjourn the meeting temporarily to let everyone take a break and organize their thoughts, because the subsequent discussion and final decision will determine the nature of the two cases and will also affect the future development direction of the hospital.

During the recess, some doctors paced in the corridor, thinking alone; others gathered together, whispering about the views they had just discussed.

Lin Lin sat in a corner of the conference room, closed her eyes, and the scenes of Hao Ren and the mother of the triplets during their treatment kept appearing in her mind. Every detail was like a knife, piercing her heart.

She knew that no matter what the final conclusion was, it would be a profound wake-up call for the hospital and all medical staff.

When everyone returned to the conference room, the atmosphere inside became even more solemn.

Lin Lin stood up and looked around at each of his colleagues. "After our discussion just now, we have a deeper understanding of these two cases."

"But now we need to reach a consensus. This is a difficult decision, but one we must base on facts and our professional judgment."

"Let's start with Hao Ren's case. Let's review what we discussed previously, and then we'll take a vote to determine our initial direction."

As soon as Lin Lin finished speaking, the doctors nodded in agreement.

After that, the conference room fell into silence again, with only the sound of shuffling papers occasionally heard in everyone's ears.

Everyone was reweighing their views in their minds, knowing that this vote carried a huge responsibility.

After the voting ended, Lin Lin and an assistant began to count the results.

When the final vote count was displayed on the whiteboard, a slight sigh was heard in the conference room.

Regarding Hao Ren's case, the votes for whether it was a medical accident or a medical error were very close, which made everyone realize that the complexity of this issue far exceeded expectations.

"From this result, it can be seen that there are still major differences among us on this issue. So let's have another in-depth discussion on several key issues with similar votes to see if we can find more powerful evidence to support our judgment," said Lin Lin.

Thus, a new round of discussions began, with doctors engaging in a more heated debate around key issues, such as the significance of critical indicators in initial symptoms and the timeliness of subsequent treatment adjustments.

Every point of view is scrutinized repeatedly, every piece of evidence is re-examined, and everyone is trying to find an answer that is closest to the truth.

After in-depth analysis and discussion, the medical team finally found the key issue between the two options.

Based on these key points, the judgment on Hao Ren's medical record was quickly reached, that is, this incident was a medical accident.

This result was reached by all members who attended the meeting after comprehensively considering various factors and repeatedly studying every detail of Hao Ren's disease progression.

However, when discussing the voting results of the case of the mother of triplets, the atmosphere on the scene became tense again, and major differences also emerged.

Some doctors believe that during the entire operation, the mother's vital signs were stable, without any obvious abnormalities, and she successfully passed the postoperative observation period.

However, after being transferred to the general ward, the mother, who was in the recovery period, suddenly suffered from severe bleeding and uterine rupture.

However, this does not mean that there were potential errors in the previous surgical process, because every step of the operation was carried out strictly in accordance with the standard procedure, and the results of various examinations showed normal. The mother was in good physical condition at the end of the operation.

Such a serious condition after surgery is most likely due to the mother's unique physical condition, such as a rare coagulation disorder or a congenitally weak uterine structure. These unforeseen factors are the key to this sudden condition. This situation is not unprecedented in medicine, but it is extremely rare.

Other doctors held different opinions with serious and firm expressions, and they conducted in-depth analysis of every subtle movement of the surgical operation.

They pointed out that the life-threatening condition of severe uterine tearing in postoperative mothers was most likely caused by inadequate inspection during the suture process.

Surgical suturing is crucial for the recovery of the uterus. If every layer of uterine tissue is not comprehensively and carefully examined during this process, even if only a very small wound is missed, it may cause serious consequences after the operation.

They emphasized that from the perspective of medical common sense, the uterus, as a relatively stable organ, cannot suffer such severe tearing for no reason and without warning without special circumstances such as external force impact.

There must have been some negligence during the operation that led to such a tragedy, such as an incomplete examination of the myometrium and endometrium before suturing, which failed to discover some potential weak points or minor injuries, which gradually developed into serious problems after the operation.

Both sides insisted on their own opinions and refused to give in, and the atmosphere in the meeting room became increasingly tense.

It was as if an invisible force was constantly colliding and rubbing in the air, and the strong smell of gunpowder almost ignited the entire space. Everyone present could feel the tremendous pressure brought about by this tense atmosphere.
