Introduction: an appendicitis patient waited for hours in the hospital and was not treated because the doctor was off duty?
The doctor certainly is not God, need to eat need rest, but let appendicitis patient wait until appendix ruptures without any action, does this say in the past?
Recently, Perth, a woman encountered this life-threatening "thing"!
, Meryl Kelly, 40, was reported to be from Perth's southern suburb of WARNBRO, at about 5 p. M. last Sunday, when Kelly suddenly felt a sharp pain in his abdomen.
She thought it was just a matter, but the pain continued, and she immediately went to the hospital. She thought she only had a hernia, but she didn't think it was much worse than she thought.
After many examinations, Kelly was diagnosed with appendicitis!
But at the same time, she was told that the doctor would not be able to perform appendicitis immediately because the operating room was closed!
The surgery can only be done the next day!
Then from more than 5 p.m. to the hospital until the next morning, Kelly was "hung out" there, waiting for the surgery to open the door!
It was a tough night for Kelly-she sweated with pain and cried with pain! But she had to wait!
She said: if the pain score of 0 to 10, her pain index is already out of the table! This pain, I really don't want anyone to go through it again!
Finally, the hard night passed. When the doctor operated on Kelly, she was told-her appendix was broken!
It was a simple little operation, and Kelly, who could have been discharged the next day, was sent not only to ICU when he woke up, but to the hospital for five full days!
This made Kelly and his family angry and has formally lodged a complaint with the hospital:
"they should have operated on me when they found me! It's because of the procrastination that the appendix will break! They knew it! But they still hurt me!
I'm not saying it's the doctor's fault, but at least someone should do something to make me feel better! "
The hospital said it was already investigating the matter! And will respond in 30 days:
Executive Chairman Kathleen Smith said:
I'm very sorry about Kelly's experience, but we need to collect all the information to evaluate it, and I'm sorry we can't answer right away!
epilogue
There is no doubt that medical benefits in Australia are good, but similar things have happened more than once, not just for this emergency operation, which can take a few months to make an appointment in the usual queue.
In the new state, for example, the government's set target for emergency services is that 81 percent of patients can be treated and left within four hours, but that goal has not been met, according to reports.
Therefore, we still drink more water and exercise more often!
