Chapter 1857: Losing Both Money and Life
"Doctor, didn't you say my family member has recovered?"
"Is there no cancer cell in the body? How come it's only been half a year, and it's so serious that it's on the verge of death?"
"What's your intention? Are you trying to cheat us out of our money again, so you're deliberately saying nonsense?"
After listening to the doctor's words and looking at the examination report in their hands, they began to question the doctor.
"Recovered? Your family member's condition has reached the late stage. Without any surgical treatment, just taking some medicine, how can it be recovered? Did you make a mistake and want to blackmail us?"
After listening to the patient's family, the doctor was also confused.
After he picked up the case and looked at it carefully, he checked the patient's previous case files on the computer.
He found that the other party had been examined here before, and the examination report at that time was also there.
He found that the other party was in the late stage of terminal illness before, and the hospital did not deliberately let the other party spend money for treatment.
Because they knew that this late stage could not be cured at all, at most they would let the patient live a few more months.
But although they are alive, the pain of terminal illness is increasing every day.
Now that he heard the family members of the patients questioning him, he began to suspect whether they were trying to blackmail him.
Although it is normal for patients to die in hospitals.
It is obvious that the patient's own condition caused the death, but many family members do not agree.
They think that they spent a lot of money but failed to save their family members. This is naturally a problem with the hospital's medical skills, which is a medical accident.
So it's okay if the person is dead and can't be revived, but the money must be compensated.
You can't let them spend money and the person is still dead. Isn't this equivalent to losing both money and life?
For such things, the hospital is also very troubled, so no matter what kind of patient comes for examination, they will keep the file.
They are afraid that they can't explain it clearly in the future and use this medical record to deal with the court.
This is why the doctor was so excited after hearing what the patient's family members said.
On the one hand, they think that the patient's family members think there is something wrong with the hospital, and deliberately said that there is a disease when there is no disease.
Later, when there is a problem, they say that there is a disease again, and they also say that it is in danger and may die at any time.
This is not a game of house. This is a living life. How can you treat it like a joke?
On the other hand, the doctor thought that the patient's family was making trouble unreasonably.
How could a patient with a terminal illness in the late stage eliminate all cancer cells without treatment, just by taking medicine?
If there really is such a magic medicine, what do we need doctors for?
If every patient who comes here takes such a pill, won't they recover automatically?
To put it bluntly, if there is such a medicine, the price must be sky-high.
Even normal treatment cannot guarantee life-saving, and tens of millions of dollars are required.
And this kind of treatment will make the patient very painful, causing them to lose hair, become bald, and become pale and thin.
In a word, both the body and mind will suffer a lot.
And the medicine they said the hospital prescribed is only a few hundred yuan, and there is no side effect.
In such a comparison, which fool would spend tens of millions to gamble his life?
Everyone would choose to spend a few hundred yuan on medicine and choose to recover without pain.
So in the doctor's opinion, if there is such a magical medicine, it must be worth a lot of money. The price of one pill is probably several million.
This is for ordinary people. If it is a pill that can save a billionaire's life.
Even if he is asked to exchange all his wealth for this medicine, he will agree without hesitation.
After all, money can be earned again if it is lost, and money is left for others if a person is dead.
As the saying goes, if you keep the green mountains, you will not worry about the lack of firewood. This is the truth.
So before, he thought that the patient's family members were afraid and could not accept this result, so they said so.
But when he heard the other party say that after taking the medicine, there were no cancer cells when he rechecked, he thought that the other party was messing around.
To put it bluntly, he deliberately wanted to blackmail the hospital, put this problem on the hospital, and on the doctor who rechecked at that time, so that this would become a medical accident and let the hospital pay for it.
If it was some small hospitals and met some quacks, he might still believe what the other party said.
But their hospital is a regular large hospital, and the doctors there are all qualified and skilled.
It is absolutely impossible that they can't even read a test report, let alone do such a stupid thing of lying with open eyes.
You said that letting patients take medicine and not treating them is indeed normal.
Because the doctor knows that it can't be cured, and also knows that the patient's family conditions are average and can't afford the high cost of treatment, so they can only choose conservative treatment.
This is the treatment plan that most patients finally choose.
The purpose is just to divert the patient's attention and give him as much time as possible.
Remember, just living longer does not mean that you will be cured.
If you can really be cured, it is definitely not a terminal illness.
There is only one explanation, that is, the patient may have been misdiagnosed by the hospital.
But the doctor thought about it and felt that this was unlikely to happen.
If this medical accident happened decades ago, this is still possible.
Because the medical equipment in all hospitals was very backward at that time, the results of the examination were generally not very accurate.
It was not uncommon for problems to occur after treatment, resulting in medical accidents, and the hospital spent a lot of money to compensate the patient's family.
Although they were also very depressed, they did not deliberately let such things happen.
But misdiagnosis is misdiagnosis, and the patient's family will not blame you for whether it was intentional or a mistake.
After all, a life was lost. If you don't show some sincerity to compensate the patient's family, I'm afraid the hospital will be smashed.
Later, with the development of the times, major hospitals paid large sums of money for their own reputation and to prevent medical accidents from happening again.
At the same time, they are also responsible for the health of patients, so that the lives of every patient who comes to see a doctor can be guaranteed.
Therefore, these hospitals have spent a lot of money to purchase a large number of advanced equipment from other places.
Although these medical equipment are a bit expensive, their examination accuracy is also equally frightening.
Therefore, the saying of misdiagnosis is basically unlikely in this era.
At least in their hospital, this kind of thing is impossible to happen.
As for the doctor who couldn't understand the test results and mistook the spread of cancer cells as the disappearance of cancer cells, such a low-level mistake would never happen to such a mediocre doctor.
