There are several reasons for this. One is that pediatric cardiac surgery is inherently very risky, and in many cases doctors advise against taking risks. This is a factor that cannot be violated and is normal.
Another common reason is the financial problems of the sick children's families, which are often seen in the newspapers. If there is no money, you can advocate for social donations to help, which is really not a big problem. The worst is the family members of bed 12, which account for a large proportion of the patients, and people outside the clinic don't understand. They just listen to the doctor talking about some risks and simply quit.
You can't say that the family members of bed 12 don't love their children. They just can't accept that their children will take a little risk. It's better to just muddle through and try your luck.
The gambling mentality of these family members is not only a problem of their own character, but also a certain trend in society. We often hear people in society say: What's the point of sending the child to the hospital for treatment? The more treatment, the more likely he is to die.
The rumor that "the more medical treatment you take, the more likely you are to die" has spread like wildfire. Why is it considered a rumor? If it weren't a rumor, everyone wouldn't still rush to the hospital for treatment as their first choice when they get sick.
Rumors must have a soil to grow. This soil is precisely because most people are not strong psychologically, and they will retreat like turtles as soon as they find an excuse.
The ones who need to be strong the most are the patients and their families themselves, because the law stipulates that the final decision on life is not in the hands of doctors.
Do you think the family of bed No. 12 just wants a small right-side thoracotomy with a small incision?
Listen to Xie Wanying's suggestion to the family: "If you have concerns about right-sided thoracotomy with small incision, you can ask Dr. Cheng to do a traditional median sternotomy. The attending doctor will definitely consider your family's request."
...
...
Switching to a median sternotomy surgery does not require any technical difficulty for the doctor. This is equivalent to telling the family that it is okay if you want to change the surgical procedure and your concerns are not valid.
Teacher Ge's response was this: "We have heard that this type of surgery is not cosmetic and will cause great damage to the child's sternum."
The family tried hard to find the surgery that Shenxian Brother had, but they refused to have it. Instead, they went to Guozhi to find Dr. Chen, but they refused to have the surgery that Dr. Chen recommended.
Xie Wanying was horrified. She was really heading in the most terrifying direction.
The Fairy Brother had previously indulged this patient in delaying the surgery and hospitalization, ignoring his own team's assessment of the bed turnover rate. It was obvious that he was afraid that if he kicked the patient out, the family would definitely not perform surgery on the child after taking the patient away.
In pediatrics, the most pitiful ones are always the children, because their lives are in the hands of their families and they have no right to autonomy over their own lives.
At this point, we can see how good her mentor, Mr. Zhuang, is. When Mr. Zhuang noticed that something was wrong with the family, he hurriedly called his medical students, hoping to help the child from a medical technical level.
"Yingying, say something." Teacher Zhuang asked the student to speak.
Xie Wanying then asked the family members: "Did you hear anything else from someone else?"
"We heard from others that some people with this disease have lived their entire lives. Some people only discover the disease when they are in their 40s and can then undergo surgery if it is really not effective. Surgery now will be bad for her bones and will leave scars." Teacher Ge couldn't help but reveal a hint of suspicion about the doctor, "Doctors nowadays always ask patients to undergo surgery."
"Don't say that." Teacher Zhuang told Teacher Ge not to think wrongly.
