“幸福”的误诊和该死的胆囊

dfw

近期，对医院开天价药的声讨，很有点口诛笔伐的味道。当然，对其云里雾里的面纱是欲揭又难，筋不伤骨不动，新闻也就新闻罢了。

　　倒是联想到两件事，才深感医院岂是一个烦字了得！

　　年初，一好友忽感肛肠不适，到一大医院拍片后，主任晃着片子对友妻说：肛瘤！友妻几近不能自持 ——老公刚过不惑，上有老下有小，着如此“大奖”，怎不五雷轰顶！片子是科学的，科学是客观的。瘤是癌吗？友妻悄悄问。主任很人道，颌首而答。怎么办？肛门割了！主刀的正是这位主任。手术前，主任说要切片化验，等到切片结果出来，主任说：上次切片太小，需从肛门中切一块更大一点病灶再化验。于是，朋友再忍痛割肉——为了生命！又是难挨的一个星期。切片化验出来了，结论是：肛门炎症！带着200多元的西药，带着“幸福”的误诊，带着“死里逃生”的余悸，虚惊二十多天的朋友终于离开了医院。

　　相比朋友幸存的肛门，本人就没有这么幸荣了。一年前，胆囊偶尔隐痛，到一医院检查，主治医师看完片子，紧锁眉头，同样斩钉截铁地说：“马上手术！”斗胆问：“如果不手术会……？”“病变！”“病变是……？”医师指着片子说：“看看，你的胆囊都成蜂窝了，你说病变是什么？”是癌么？转念一想，听医生的话错吗？不会的！

　　住了六天医院，化了一万多块钱，出院了。没想到，至今空荡荡的“胆囊”仍隐隐作痛，手术后的切片结论是：胆囊炎！

These thing happens in the USA too, everybody needs to be careful, get a second opinion is the safest option at least, no matter in China or in US.

Also, before big surgery, etc. read everything relevant on the Internet also helps, arm yourself with knowledge, both in English and in Chinese.

I had a problem 2 years ago, doctor said no danger, but also no cure, which means I had to live with it in my life time...

However, I read everything possible from Internet, then "accidentally" found a simple remedy for my problem, it was thoroughly cured in only about 2 months.

Guess what my doctor said: "It was a miracle, indeed.........."
