Chapter 836 Sue Adam
medical center.
Adam's office.
"Jenny, you know that's just a public record, right?"
Adam frowned and reminded: "In private, even if many patients are infected, they don't know how they were infected."
"I will be careful!"
Jenny emphasized again with a pale face.
"It's not something you can control by being careful."
Adam sighed and said: "You are doing first aid, if you encounter a sharp wound, can you find someone to replace you once, or every time?
There will always be times when you can't find someone to take your place.
However, it is very common to be stabbed by glass in the emergency room, and the glass is still tied to the wound and sent to the wound.
Not to mention that the patient is suturing, and you take the needle and sew.
Injection medicine, needle port for injection.
Once you accidentally pierce your skin with sharp objects such as glass, stitches, needles, and drip blood onto the patient's wound...
You are risking your patient's health! "
"I'll be extra careful!"
Jenny's face turned paler, but she still repeated the same rhetoric.
"Doctor Duncan!"
Seeing that Adam was frowning tightly, Jenny begged with eyes full of reluctance, "I will be careful, please don't spread this news.
You don't know my pain.
My ex-husband passed this disease on to me and my love and marriage died completely.
Now I only have my career.
I have worked so hard to become a PA, and I have the ability to make a career.
I have the value of existence! "
Speaking of this, Jenny choked up.
PA, Physician Assistant.
In the world of American dramas, the training period for doctors is long and the cost is high.
Moreover, in order to maintain the high-salary scarcity status of doctors in the entire social structure, the number of doctors has been firmly limited from the very beginning.
This has caused a shortage of human resources in the medical system, and it is easy for emergencies to break down the medical system.
In order to alleviate this situation, the position of Physician Assistant began to appear.
Doctor's MD corresponds to Sheldon's Ph.D.
And PA corresponds to Howard's kind of master's degree that every doctor has.
After graduating from a bachelor's degree, you only need to study for two years, pass the PA exam, get a PA certificate, and then renew the certificate every six years.
However, because it is not a formal training path for clinicians, PA is only equivalent to half a doctor. Not only can it diagnose and treat patients under the guidance of clinicians, but it can only diagnose and treat simple diseases.
The salary income is good, not as good as doctors, but far more than nurses.
Replacing some doctors with PA is also a money-saving behavior of old capitalists.
Jenny is an excellent PA.
"You do have value."
Adam persuaded: "In other positions, as long as you want, you can also shine. Why do you have to risk the health of the patient?"
"Send and receive emails, organize files?"
Jenny said with tears: "I have struggled for so long, just to do this?
I just do this for the days I don't know how many are left?
Don't say no!
I've met people like this in clinics.
He was originally a surgeon, and he told me a truth, don't trust anyone, especially the management!
When he was tested positive, he took the initiative to speak to the director of surgery.
Then he was transferred to the geriatric department, and he was not allowed to do anything except measure his blood pressure.
Later, he was not even allowed to take blood pressure measurements, and continued to demote him to the night shift in the pathology department.
After working for six months, he couldn't bear this kind of invisible discrimination and persecution, so he resigned according to the wish of the hospital management.
yes!
Because of discrimination laws, the hospital cannot fire me.
But they have countless ways to force me to resign voluntarily.
So I beg you not to spread the news.
I will be careful……"
"I don't deny that it's true."
Adam shook his head and said, "But you can't endanger other innocent patients for the sake of your career and existence value."
"As long as you don't tell, no one will know."
Jenny begged: "I'm definitely not the first case. I heard that this happens in many hospitals. As long as it doesn't take the initiative to reveal it, the hospital will treat it as ignorant.
Because that would put the hospital in a dilemma.
Expulsion persecution may trigger our discrimination prosecution.
Publication of the information could lead to numerous lawsuits from patients.
It’s the most beneficial way to act as if you don’t know…”
"That's for you, what about those innocent patients?"
Adam narrowed his eyes: "The career you are pursuing, the ultimate survival value, is for yourself, let innocent patients bear all the risks?
If you are like this, you have even forgotten your original intention of curing diseases and saving lives. What kind of medical staff are you? What career and value can we pursue? "
"……I will be careful!"
Jenny lowered her head and repeated the sentence again.
"You can't be careful!"
Adam said lightly: "Because your body is out of your control, you are fine now, but as time goes by, you will face a series of problems.
The first is dementia!
This is the first symptom of a full-blown AIDS attack.
Once the disease occurs, and you have patients who need treatment at that time, do you know the consequences? "
"...There is no official case showing that a doctor who contracted AIDS killed a patient because of dementia."
Jenny bowed her head and retorted.
"Ugh."
Adam looked at her in disappointment, and said in a deep voice: "We can discuss your future work, taking into account the value of your existence and preventing the infection of patients as much as possible.
But you can't stay in the ER trauma room anymore.
Stop saying you will be careful!
Don't talk about how other hospitals handle it.
Now that I have encountered this incident, I will never allow this behavior of playing Russian roulette with innocent patients to continue to happen in front of my eyes.
think about it!
Many of those who have passed through your hands are innocent and ignorant children.
How can you put them at risk when you're stitching up their playful wounds? "
"I'll be careful..."
Jenny was still repeating the logic she regarded as a life-saving straw. Seeing that Adam was serious, her face became tangled.
"You can't do this, this is my privacy, you have no right to spread my privacy, if you do, I will sue you for discrimination!"
"I will not spread your privacy."
Adam took a deep look at her: "But you also said that the hospital has the right to transfer your post.
And I'm just a resident doctor, not the hospital management, if they want to transfer me, there's nothing they can do.
As for suing me?
If you do sue me for this?
Then sue!
You have your pursuit and persistence.
Coincidentally.
I also have my pursuit and my persistence!
In court, facing the jury, you are innocently infected with AIDS, and you need sympathy.
We all admit it.
But what about the wounded and children you put at risk?
Do you think the jury will be on your side, or the kids' side?
The most important thing.
Who is more innocent? "
Jenny burst into tears, covered her mouth and ran out of the office.
