Chapter 1843 The Loss of the Child Is Really the Fault of Magic! Does the Hospital Have to Pay Compensation?
Grete took the time to look through the medical records.
34 weeks pregnant...well, good, this recording method is correct. You know, medical calculation of pregnancy time is from the first day of the last menstrual period, which is different from the calculation for ordinary people.
The pregnant woman reported that she was eight months pregnant, and recorded that she was 34 weeks pregnant. It was very good, very consistent with the pregnant woman's self-report. The fetal heart rate is 165, tsk, it’s a bit fast. We need to consider whether there is intrauterine hypoxia...
The fetal movement occurs twice every 20 minutes. During the fetal movement, the fetal heart rate is 180. Gee, it seems that there is really some intrauterine hypoxia. It seems that the pregnant woman should be detained for a few days to receive oxygen. Hmm, lying on the left side seems to work too?
Looking further down, the blood pressure of pregnant women is 145/95. She is young and thin. If she does not have high blood pressure, she has gestational hypertension.
Gretel flicked his fingers, and then controlled his hand. He did not throw a monitoring spell to the other party, and took the blood pressure on the spot. Gestational diabetes...Sorry, no blood test, fasting blood sugar, postprandial blood sugar, glucose tolerance, various tests...
Alas, it is really uncomfortable to practice medicine in a medical desert. In particular, it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality...
Looking further down, there is no more. Gretel glanced sideways. The patient's attending physician and first-diagnosis doctor, a female therapist who came to the Baby-Friendly Medical Center for further training, looked embarrassed and whispered:
"I asked her to lie down and wanted to do an ultrasound to check the condition of the fetus. I don't know why, but as soon as I touched her, she suddenly became emotional and started crying..."
This... wasn't there, and I don't know why. Grete glanced at the pregnant woman's husband and saw that his brows were furrowed, but he nodded slightly, knowing that his therapist's description of the situation was still accurate:
"What happened next?"
"Later, I failed to comfort her. Seeing that she would hurt the fetus if she continued to be so excited, I released the soothing spell and charm human being. Because the pregnant woman was particularly emotional and instinctively resisted the spells, I could only use a few more spells."
The female therapist looked aggrieved and confused:
"I was soothed at that time, but the fetus fell out not long after I returned! They said it was because of my problem with releasing the spell! How is that possible! Soothing spells and charming humans are two spells that I am very familiar with. It is absolutely impossible to release them. Incorrect!"
"But that's what the oracle said!" The female priest, who had gradually become quiet in her husband's arms, suddenly started struggling and screamed again, with tears on her face:
"I asked my mentor, a familiar sister, to go to the great temple and ask for an oracle. The oracle said that the child was lost because of a spell! You still don't admit it! You still don't admit it! This is the oracle of the goddess—— "
"Wait, wait." Gretel raised his hands and pressed down hard:
"Madam, calm down, calm down. Little Earl of Sutherland? Please comfort your wife?"
Without him having to say anything, the young knight hugged his wife again and whispered comforting words. The old earl said in a deep voice:
"I didn't dare to make a rash judgment when it came to the hospital and the temple, so I went to the Grand Temple in Nevis to ask for an oracle again. This time the result was the same - the loss of the child was directly related to this lady's spellcasting."
Grete frowned and pondered. When it comes to the oracle, he believes that the other party will not lie, at least the probability of lying is very small - it's not like he doesn't have connections in the Grand Temple of the Spring Goddess. He can tell by writing a letter and asking.
However, how can spells with almost no lethality, such as soothing and charming humans, cause a pregnant woman to lose her child?
"Have you verified it?"
He turned to the attending physician and the white coat responsible for receiving the count. The two healers shook their heads together:
"We checked all the papers we could find, and also consulted the Archmage Echsleben, and all the healers we could find. We couldn't find that these two spells have any effect and will cause pregnant women to lose their children..."
"It's not who you are!" the old count said angrily:
"It's not like the [Charm Human] spell can't make people do things that are not good for them! Who knows what you did! Who knows what instructions you gave when you cast the spell -"
"I didn't! I didn't!" Tears welled up in the female therapist's eyes. She had to hold back her tears, but her voice also became sharp:
"I just want her to have a better impression of me and be able to calm down and listen to me - how could I harm her! The [Charm Human] spell cannot make people do things that are not good for them, such as committing suicide or self-mutilation. You You know it!"
"The oracle said so -"
"Stop, stop, stop." Gretel raised his hands with a headache on his face. With such a quarrel, he could only interrupt first:
"In other words, apart from translating medical books and papers, you haven't done any other verification?"
"We also released [Detect Lies]. When she cast the spell, she did not issue instructions to harm pregnant women or fetuses..."
Uh, okay, I've already passed the lie detector test, so I won't say anything else. Gretel sighed and tried to use his brain:
If it wasn't a casting error or intentional harm, what was the reason?
How many times have you used the soothing technique and it never seems to cause any problems? In theory, there shouldn't be any problem with charming humans... At most, it's just that this person has cast the spell too many times... How many times has she used it?
It is written in the medical record that the soothing technique was used three times and the human being was charmed five times... Wait, what are the principles of the soothing technique and the charming human being?
If it is the principle he thinks of, the spell has been cast too many times, maybe... But to verify this, it will take a very long time to study, and the patient's family may not be able to wait... Then...
Who do I know as the great mage of the prophecy system? Who is more familiar? Oops, it seems that all the people I know well are staying on Dragon Island. Wouldn’t it be a good idea to go directly to Mrs. Endor? If it's just a small matter, you wouldn't ask Legend to take action, right?
"Where's Serila? - Serila, please go to the Star Dome, find a prophecy mage you are familiar with, and ask him to divine:
The child is gone, is it because of the spell? If so, is it due to an error in the casting, or is it due to the spell itself? "
"Okay! Go now!"
The silver dragon girl dashed away and dashed back. She has been serving as an observation instrument in the Star Dome for so long. After all, she has been working for such a long time, and her face is indeed extremely broad. Just a casual trip and the task was completed:
"Mrs. Ellemo said that the reason why the child was gone was because of the spell. It was not that the caster had bad intentions or cast the spell wrong, but that it was a problem with the spell itself..."
"..."
"..."
Gretel stood up with an apologetic look:
"Although the caster did not make a mistake, due to reasons unknown to us, it was her casting that caused this lady to lose her child. This is the responsibility of our hospital, and the hospital must bear it."
Alas, in fact, according to the rules of the previous life, as long as the doctor abides by the established treatment principles and does not misdiagnose or mistreat, if something beyond current medical understanding occurs, neither the doctor nor the hospital should be held responsible——
Otherwise, everyone will stop working.
But what to do in this world? The oracle has also said it, and the great mage of the prophecy department has also said it, that is the reason for casting the spell, and you still want to refuse to take responsibility?
Then the reputation of the hospital will be ruined...
Fortunately, with this attitude, most of the anger of the patient's family members was relieved. The old count pondered for a moment, then stood up with a smile:
"If it is proven that she has no bad intentions and did not intentionally harm the mother and child, it cannot be said to be your responsibility. In this way, we will ask the oracle again. If the oracle proves that it was not her fault in casting the spell, then we will not disturb you. ”
