The obstetrics departnt of the hospital is a major disaster area for dical disputes, unlike any other departnt. Issues like today’s are very common in the obstetrics departnt, much rarer in others.
Dr. Lee took a sip of water from her thermos cup while waiting for the patient to finish venting her emotions, then offered dical advice: "You could try a tubal flushing. The previous doctor should have ntioned this procedure to you." That’s all doctors can do.
"Can you guarantee that this operation won’t leave with other complications like the abortion did?" the female patient asked.
The doctor can’t guarantee that. All surgeries may have complications, doctors can only strive to reduce the occurrence rate as much as possible. Each patient is different, there’s no way to predict absolute outcos.
The female patient shouted angrily: "You’ve said it all, so is it my responsibility as the patient to bear everything?"
Don’t say such things lightly. If a doctor violates operating procedures, there are established rules in dicine for everything a doctor does. If the doctor broke these rules, it’s a dical incident, and the doctor is responsible.
"The abortion made it so I can’t get pregnant anymore, is it the doctor’s fault or mine?"
Abortion has various risks that can’t be completely avoided with current dical thods, let alone unforeseen complications with unexplained causes. The doctor had inford beforehand, hence any doctor strongly advising against a procedure should give patients more reason to think carefully.
Dr. Lee now had to consider the patient’s disruption which prolonged the consultation ti indefinitely, leaving other patients waiting endlessly, and advised this patient: "Why don’t you sit next door and have a glass of water, think clearly whether or not you want this operation, then talk to ."
"No, today you explain it to clearly, otherwise I won’t leave," the female patient said aggressively.
This person didn’t co for treatnt, she ca seeking to absolve herself of responsibility. She doesn’t care about specialists or other patients, only about not losing face.
Even a gentle doctor like Dr. Lee who is as patient as a mother could not bear it anymore, and was forced to ask her to leave: "If you want to make a complaint, do so with the relevant departnt, go file a lawsuit."
The boss isn’t afraid of your lawsuit. Because you’re the one causing unreasonable trouble in the first place. The doctor wanted to help you by giving you a chance to reconsider your decision, but with such an attitude, forget it, let’s part ways.
The female patient stood up and kicked the table: "Do you believe I could strangle you?"
Hiss. This soft sound ca from Student Geng’s shrunk mouth. As a male dical student, he probably found it hard to imagine. Student Pan’s previous experience led him to think the female patient’s aggressions were directed only toward male doctors.
How wrong he was.
Clinically, it’s common for female doctors to sympathize with female patients, but female patients don’t necessarily empathize with female doctors. It’s similar to the frequent disputes between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, both of whom are won.
Actually, Student Geng shouldn’t feel surprised. Departnts dominated by male patients are in similar situations, expecting male patients to empathize with male doctors is impossible. In such cases, patients don’t see you as male or female, only as a doctor and resent you. What the counselor said has truly occurred in front of dical students.
The outpatient door opened, and two family mbers listening outside ca in, seemingly afraid of being implicated when dragged into the detention center, and pulled the female patient saying: "Alright, stop causing trouble."
"What trouble? It was clearly her fault, why bla ?"
