Famous Among Top Surgeons in the 90s Chapter 1689: Overthinking

Smart patients won’t resist checkups; when they arrive at a big hospital, they hope the doctor will quickly rule out all possible causes before proceeding to avoid inappropriate treatnts.

So patients like to rely on hearsay rather than science, believing people who say doctors order tests just to make money without thorough analysis, often due to their own job inconveniences or desire to save money. According to Chief Li’s famous saying from the police station, those who are persuaded by rumors definitely have motives aligned with their own interests.

This female patient has been struggling for over half a year, spending unknown amounts of wasted money, yet doesn’t believe the ultrasound results. After hearing others say hospital results might be misdiagnoses, she runs around visiting several hospitals for tests and consultations, trying to confirm she’s not ill. She has wasted nearly two months like this.

Doctors know clinical misdiagnoses are unavoidable, but the frequency is not as high as rumored; it’s relatively low, mainly occurring in small hospitals, with a higher chance of misdiagnosis on the first diagnosis. The chance of misdiagnosis across multiple diagnoses in several hospitals is almost impossible. So this patient only discovers the cyst grows as she visits more hospitals for tests.

Now the patient is in a complete panic, sensing her problem has beco serious, and realizes she needs to see the most authoritative hospital doctors to mitigate costs.

Such patient experiences are typical in clinical settings, not uncommon. Don’t say such patients are foolish; they actually have thoughts, but the thoughts are a bit excessive. Overthinking leads them into a ntal trap.

Doctors most fear not the patients who overthink, but rather those who wear themselves out by overthinking.

Look at this female patient, after months of self-torture, with a fatigued deanor and extrely anxious gaze; her sleep quality must be terrible, and her inner despair and depression are hardly less than a terminal patient. If she can’t receive any hope or comfort from the most authoritative hospital doctors, it’s a ticking bomb that will blow up her life.

Is thinking a non-fatal illness is not scary? It’s not. Refer to Xiao Shugang from before. Many diseases, even if not fatal, can tornt soone for a lifeti, equaling the unbearable pain that drives a patient insane. Many dical outrage cases involving doctor-killing stem from such non-fatal "terminal" patients.

Veteran doctors have the experience to not only diagnose diseases but also assess the psychological state of patients, avoiding stimulation. Doctor Lee Yuen opens gently and warmly by addressing the patient as "Miss."

A woman in her twenties about to beco a mother is still very pleased to be called "Miss." No one dislikes being complinted on their youth, n and won alike. "I see you are quite beautiful, without any hair or acne," Doctor Lee Yuen continues to complint the patient.

The patient’s heart feels much more comfortable hearing this from the doctor, a bitter expression gives way to a smile, and she asks the doctor, "Doctor, the previous hospital’s doctors said I have polycystic ovaries which might cause infertility. Could this lead to my infertility?"

Actually, the patient misunderstood when the expert was complinting her beauty, there were so professional judgnt terms mixed in. Therefore, the expert will certainly continue to explain their remarks.
