While a few pregnant women were talking, they suddenly heard a quarrel coming from the clinic next door.
"How do you do things? What kind of examination did you just ask me to go for? Didn't you read clearly what was written in my medical record? Isn't it irresponsible for you to just say you didn't read it clearly?"
"Okay, okay, you don't have to argue. I'm not saying I didn't see it clearly."
"You just said that!"
"I'll change your prenatal doctor. You can go to see Doctor Liu. -- Doctor Guan, please take this patient and the medical records to see Doctor Liu next door, and tell Doctor Liu what's going on."
The obstetrics and gynecology department is well-deserved to be the hardest hit area for medical disputes. I just saw a case with Teacher Li in the morning, and less than half an hour after I came to the prenatal check-up clinic in the afternoon, another case came immediately. Xie Wanying and Geng thought.
Soon, a young medical student, Dr. Guan, brought a pregnant woman to the next door to see Dr. Liu Li.
The pregnant woman was very angry. She kept cursing Doctor Chen next door as she walked to Doctor Liu's office.
"She didn't read the medical records. She didn't see clearly the words 'IVF' written in such big letters, and she asked me to do Down syndrome screening. I don't know where her eyes are. What Down syndrome screening? I have IVF."
...
...
Dr. Guan walked over to Dr. Liu Li and put his mouth close to Dr. Liu Li's ear to report the situation: "She is very old, in her early 50s. So, Dr. Chen would have prescribed a Down syndrome screening test for her according to routine. But she was not happy to hear that. Maybe she misunderstood what our doctors said at our Reproductive Technology Center and thought that IVF would definitely not result in a deformed baby."
"How many generations of test-tube babies did she use?" Liu Li asked.
"Third generation. So Dr. Chen is kind and cautious, but this person doesn't like it. Dr. Chen said that he can only trouble Dr. Liu to take a look at it later and decide whether to stop prescribing it and wait for the teacher above to make a decision."
For the third generation, embryos with chromosomal abnormalities will be screened out, which sounds like there will be no deformed babies. The problem is that human medicine's understanding of genetic diseases is not 100%, only the tip of the iceberg. No medical operation can guarantee 100% that there will be no unexpected risks. Therefore, prenatal doctors will recommend these tests to avoid any unexpected situations.
"Down syndrome screening is also done at 16 weeks."
"Yes, Dr. Chen just mentioned it out of concern, and she immediately got excited," said Dr. Guan. It can only be said that sometimes doctors don't understand why they suddenly touch on some patients' sensitive words.
"If she doesn't want to do the Down syndrome screening, then don't do it. I will just prescribe amniocentesis when the time comes," said Dr. Liu Li.
The accuracy of Down syndrome screening is low, and patients who do not like it can choose not to do it. If the diagnosis is confirmed, amniocentesis is required, and the accuracy can reach nearly 100%. Therefore, clinicians generally recommend amniocentesis for all pregnant women with high-risk factors in this regard instead of simply doing Down syndrome screening.
The main problem with this patient is that she is 50 years old, and any doctor would worry that she might have an accident. If she really gave birth to a child with Down syndrome, it would be the end of her.
It's not uncommon for women in their 50s to have children. Dr. Zheng took a look at the patient's medical records curiously and asked, "Could it be that she lost her only child?"
Now that my only child is gone, I can only try to have another one to make up for it.
"She said she had a daughter." Doctor Guan, who was more familiar with the patient's condition, said, "It's just that her daughter is sick."
There is also such a mother in Lin** who gave birth to a second child in order to save the first child.
