What does the nurse mean by this?
"You said that the doctors before couldn't diagnose a certain disease, but Dr. Xie was able to diagnose it?"
"yes."
"I haven't seen it before?" Professor Li panicked. He took the examination report from Deputy Director Liu and quickly confirmed that he had never seen this patient.
The other doctors were just as nervous, craning their heads to ask, "Which department's nurse is this? Have we seen her?"
"She probably hasn't seen our doctors before," said the nurse.
"That's right." A group of doctors breathed a sigh of relief.
If you miss a diagnosis when treating a colleague, your reputation will be ruined among your colleagues in the hospital.
"You can ask Professor Li to see it, why don't you do that?" Deputy Director Liu asked the nurse. He always felt that this matter was strange. Why didn't he ask the old professor to see it but went to ask the intern instead?

"I went to other doctors before but they couldn't find out what's wrong with me. They all said it was nothing serious. I would be traumatized if I went to see them again. Just the other day I heard someone in the ward say that Dr. Xie is very accurate in his diagnosis. A patient's family member came to the ward to visit the patient and met Dr. Xie. Dr. Xie saw at a glance that the patient had uterine fibroids and asked him to go for a checkup. It turned out to be true. I won't go to Dr. Xie anymore."
The nurse's words made the doctors on the scene curious about what kind of strange case this was and why it led to so many doctors misdiagnosing it.
"stomach ache?"
"How many years?"
"Three years?"
"Wouldn't it be a long time ago that something bad happened after three years of abdominal pain?"
"Why does it hurt?"
"She said it was a dull pain, and sometimes it seemed to be related to her menstrual period, so she went to see a gynecologist."
"I had ultrasound, gastroscopy, and colonoscopy, and everything was fine."
"If it only hurts occasionally, there is no need to get a full abdominal CT scan."
"What did the CT find out now?"
"It's hard to say." Professor Li uttered these words while reading the report, and all the doctors in the department were a little panicked.
Misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis are sometimes impossible to completely avoid, but if a serious illness is misdiagnosed or missed, it can be fatal.
Deputy Director Liu just glanced at it and reported to Shen Jinghui in his ear: "It's not clear whether it is cancer or not. The tumor is very small now, but there are similar calcification points inside. It's not a very ideal situation."
"How old?"
"About a centimeter."
"What part?"
The degree of malignancy indicated by the size of the lump is related to the site of the disease. Some sites have a high tolerance for tumor size, while others do not. Even a small size can be a big problem.
"It seems to be the urachal tube."
The disease occurs in the urachal area and is a very rare disease. No wonder there is missed diagnosis or misdiagnosis. The faces of the doctors present changed drastically, and their hearts were probably pounding.
"Is there blood in the urine?" Shen Jinghui turned around and asked about the patient's condition.
“No,” the nurse shook her head for her sick colleague.
"There is a high probability that there will be no obvious symptoms at such a young age." Professor Li held up his reading glasses and kept his head down to study the report.
"Is it only the abdominal pain? Is there any bleeding or pus coming out of the navel?" other doctors asked more carefully.
"No, she always feels uncomfortable in her stomach, with a vague pain somewhere." The nurse explained the situation for her sick colleague, "It started three years ago after she gave birth. I thought it was related to the pregnancy, so I went to the gynecology department for many checkups, and there was nothing wrong. She didn't have a cesarean section but a natural birth, and she didn't have any problems after the hysterectomy. Anyway, the gynecologist also said that she was weird, maybe it was a psychological effect."
"This type of case is rare, but she should be in her thirties now, right?" Professor Li asked.
