Chapter 631 The Powerless Patient



Of course, having a good attitude has its benefits, and it is also good to spend these nine months foolishly. Xie Wanying did not rule out that Senior Sister Li Xiaobing was thinking this way, because some accidents during pregnancy are simply hard to prevent.

Like the pregnant woman in front of us, how could she and her family have imagined that she would suddenly have severe stomach pain and vomiting four months into her pregnancy, and she would be in a state where she seemed about to die.

Aunt Li was so anxious that she was about to cry. Her daughter-in-law was pregnant with her precious grandchildren. What would she do if something unexpected happened to the children? The older generation had a strong concept of passing on the family line, and generally it was difficult for them to accept that their daughter-in-law had a miscarriage.

"Doctor, please help her. She has been married to my son for five or six years, and it was not easy for her to get pregnant." Sure enough, Aunt Li brought up the issue of children first.

When it comes to choosing between two options, clinical doctors always put the mother first, without anyone asking or requiring them to do so, unless the mother herself strongly requests to save the child instead of herself.

Xie Wanying asked herself not to think too much and to check the condition of the pregnant woman first.

"How many days have you been vomiting?" Xie Wanying asked the family members, while helping the patient lie on his left and right sides to determine the location of the abdominal pain.

"She told me that it's been almost a week," Aunt Li replied. "She had diarrhea again, so we thought it wasn't morning sickness, but something bad she ate."

"stomachache?"

...

...

"Yes, she said she had been to the nearby clinic several times. At first, the doctor said she had gastritis and she had pain above. Later, she said her stomach hurt, and the doctor changed the topic and said it was enteritis, and gave her an injection anyway. She's been getting the injection for many days, but there's no effect. I told her a long time ago that she should go to a big hospital, but she said they couldn't get an appointment at a big hospital. Finally, Miss Wu said she knew a doctor here, so she hurriedly brought her here to see you today." Aunt Li's words were permeated with the powerlessness of ordinary people.

It is easy to imagine how difficult it is for an average family to go to a good hospital for treatment without connections. Not to mention that Aunt Li and her family are ordinary workers who came to the capital to work. The top three hospitals in the capital have superior medical resources, and ordinary people all over the country go here for difficult and complicated diseases. Where can they find opportunities to treat common diseases for ordinary people?

In fact, common diseases do not need to be treated in the best hospitals. As long as the grassroots clinics have sufficient technical level, they can handle it. If not, they can be transferred to higher-level hospitals. However, the level of grassroots clinics varies greatly, and ordinary people don’t know how many hospitals they have to go to before they can find a doctor who can make an accurate diagnosis.

If ordinary people are unlucky and the disease is urgent, they may end up like this pregnant woman who cannot get accurate treatment at the grassroots level in time. Therefore, there are always such situations in clinical practice. Doctors in large hospitals cannot believe what they see, and the best treatment time for patients who can be cured is delayed, and finally the patients die.

Xie Wanying didn't think about the most terrible consequence at this stage, but her intuition told her that the pregnant woman was misdiagnosed at the grassroots level.

The patient was definitely not suffering from ordinary enteritis or gastritis. She touched the patient's forehead and confirmed that he had a slight fever, and the fever continued after the antipyretic injection. This kind of fever was unusual and could be fatal.

If injections over several days do not relieve the patient's symptoms, the primary care doctor should consider that it is not just ordinary gastroenteritis.
