Mifepristone, a three-day dosage, one pill each ti, taken twice daily in the morning and evening, no food two hours before taking the dication. If the patient’s family said that she took it for the first ti this morning, there should be two and a half days’ worth left in the dicine bag, but now there’s only two days’ worth left.
What’s going on? Did the dicine spill or get thrown away?
Doctor Zuoliang asked the patient’s family: "How much dicine did she take this morning?"
Being questioned this way by the doctor, the patient’s husband had no choice but to admit: "The ER doctor said she took too much dicine. My wife said after getting the dicine, she ran upstairs to find the doctor again, and it was the doctor here who told her to take it this way. A female doctor told her to take two pills." After speaking, the patient’s husband saw that among their group of male doctors, there was only Xie Wanying as a female doctor, pointing her out as the culprit, saying: "It must be this female doctor who taught my wife to take too much dicine."
"Impossible." Doctor Zuoliang shook his head denying the accusation from the patient’s husband, "Dr. Xie was with all afternoon yesterday. After we prescribed the dicine, we didn’t see the patient. If she did co, it was who guided your wife on how to take the dicine, not her."
"If it wasn’t her, who could it be? There’s clearly only her as a female doctor here." The patient’s husband locked onto Xie Wanying determinedly.
Du Haiwei encouraged the family not to get too excited and turned to instruct Doctor Zuoliang: "The patient is now in the ergency room, make a call to the ER to ask what her current condition is. If necessary, arrange for an extra bed in the ward and have the ER send her up for observation."
No matter the reason causing the patient to overdose, the doctor needs to handle the patient first. After all, the patient’s life is most important; other matters can be addressed later.
Following the ntor’s instructions, Doctor Zuoliang thought it was reasonable, went off to make the call to the ER and instructed the nurse to arrange the bed. While walking, he silently felt sympathy for Student Xie.
The patient’s husband relentlessly wanted to continue pursuing the doctors’ responsibility, saying: "You say, if my wife can’t get pregnant again due to physical abnormalities after taking the dicine, what then? It’s you who taught her to take the dicine this way; my wife wouldn’t lie."
Du Haiwei, maintaining a calm deanor, told the family: "Please don’t worry about the dical expenses for now; I’ll cover them first. As for the specific reason causing the patient to take the wrong dosage, we’ll investigate and give you a response. If it’s our fault, we’ll admit it. Regarding the patient’s future physical condition, as doctors, we’ll definitely observe and handle it with care."
Upon hearing Du Haiwei’s statent, the patient’s husband cald down a bit but still coldly regarded Xie Wanying as a culprit, saying: "If you did it, you have the guts, you better not deny it."
Xie Wanying thought it over and confird repeatedly that she only saw the patient once yesterday afternoon with Teacher Zuo. Having not t the patient again, both she and Doctor Zuoliang indeed didn’t know what happened to the patient afterward. They could only wait for the patient to arrive in the ward for further questions.
After finishing the call with the ergency room, Zuo Liang ca up to report to the teacher: "They said the bleeding is slightly more than usual nstrual bleeding, it’s the patient herself feeling a bit tense, but the issue doesn’t seem major at the mont. I had them send the patient to our gynecology departnt for observation." After speaking, because he heard the family continuously accusing the doctors, Zuo Liang argued back to the family: "We initially told you that the thod like a dical abortion itself could have adverse effects on the patient’s body, and seriously could lead to infertility in the future. The doctors advised you to consider carefully before deciding."
