medical mistakes

"medical mistakes are the third leading cause of death in the U.S., killing over 250,000 Americans annually.  In fact, I was the victim of a couple of serious medical mistakes that almost killed me."

看到这个，我吓死了。以后尽量少看医生，少做手术。

"About 17 or 18 years ago I had a grand mal seizure in a coffee shop in New Orleans. When I woke up in the hospital, the doctors told me I had terminal brain cancer and less than 30 days to live. They showed me an MRI of a large tumorous mass in my brain. I called my oldest son up to the hospital room to tell him that Pop was leaving soon. My mother and sister flew in and we started to make arrangements. Then, about a week later, the doctors said they ran some new tests and gave me antibiotics, and the mass in my brain shrunk. They concluded that I only had a serious brain infection caused by bacteria in the water (I had been living in a log cabin north of New Orleans that used well water). Many people might have sued the doctors for the stress of a terminal diagnosis, but I was overjoyed to have a second chance. I am more grateful for each day than I ever was. I try to make the best use of my time."

• 以前看过一个报道，医生的误诊率平均高出达40%，当然，这个数据有待证实，误诊通常不会致命。能不看医生就不看。 -FollowNature- ♂ (0 bytes) () 01/03/2024 postreply 13:34:00

• 脑MRI这列不能算误诊吧,还在看的过程中,只是先怀疑是癌.老了一定要看医生早检早治才能活长. -5181- ♂ (297 bytes) () 01/03/2024 postreply 13:45:43
