42-year-old Ms. Liu is an elderly mother. The child is three months old. The whole family is happy that Ms. Liu can have a son at this age. She usually pays great attention to her diet and daily life, for fear of making any mistakes.
This is Ms. Liu’s second child. Because her first child is a boy, girls are said to be parents’ little cotton-padded jackets, so she has always wanted a daughter. With the full liberalization of the two-child policy, Ms. Liu's family decided to have another child.
Ms. Liu encountered dystocia when she gave birth to her first baby. The situation was very critical at that time. Fortunately, the doctor performed a caesarean section in time. But the doctor told Ms. Liu that if she wanted to have children in the future, it would be very difficult.
Over the years, Ms. Liu and her husband have been looking for doctors everywhere to regulate their bodies. After taking traditional Chinese medicine and health supplements for three years, I finally became pregnant with my second child. The family was very happy and looking forward to the arrival of this new life, but who knew that God would bring unexpected events and Ms. Liu's child would not be saved in the end.
On this day, Ms. Liu drove to the mall alone. Her husband was not accompanying her because he was busy with work. On Ms. Liu's way to the mall, an accident unexpectedly happened.
Ms. Liu collided with an oncoming car while turning left, causing a car accident. Ms. Liu felt a sharp pain in her stomach at that time, and her lower body was bleeding. The surrounding vehicles quickly stopped to help, and everyone worked together to send Ms. Liu to the hospital.
After being sent to the hospital, Ms. Liu was in very bad condition and kept shouting, "Save my child." The doctor immediately arranged a B-ultrasound examination for Ms. Liu. The B-ultrasound examination results showed that Ms. Liu's uterus had a regular shape, a smooth capsule, an enlarged uterine body, and an anterior position. An irregular light group echo was seen in the uterus, about 35mm*25mm in size. The echo was uneven and the border was still clear.
According to Ms. Liu’s examination results, the doctor determined that the child had no vital signs and it was a threatened abortion. The doctor briefly treated Ms. Liu's physical trauma, and then arranged a drainage operation. The operation went very smoothly.
The doctor regretfully told Ms. Liu and his wife the news. They both looked very sad. Originally, at such an old age, I would be very happy to be pregnant with a child, but I didn't expect it to be like this. But fortunately, the adult was fine. After a few days of postoperative observation, Ms. Liu and her husband left the hospital.
Ms. Liu stayed in the hospital for about a week after the operation. The doctor saw that Ms. Liu was recovering well and agreed to her request for discharge. However, Ms. Liu always felt that the operation was not done well because she had been feeling inexplicable pain in her abdomen since she regained consciousness. At first she thought it was a wound, but more than half a month later, the pain in her abdomen increased instead of decreasing.
For this reason, Ms. Liu and her husband went to this hospital for examination. After taking pictures of Ms. Liu, the doctor said there was no problem and asked her to go home and rest.
Ms. Liu would have severe pain in her stomach every night, making it difficult to sleep. But why the hospital didn't detect any problems? She and her husband thought it was a problem with the doctor's quality, so they were introduced to a local tertiary hospital by relatives.
The doctor performed B ultrasound and CT on Ms. Liu, and suggested that Ms. Liu go to the internal medicine department for a check-up, which may be the cause of gastroenteritis . After the examination, the doctor prescribed some medicine and painkillers for Ms. Liu to treat gastroenteritis.
After returning home, Ms. Liu started taking medicine according to the doctor's instructions. Her condition improved at first. She would get better after taking a few pills every time the pain occurred. However, once she did not take the medicine, she would still be in pain, no different from before.
After so many attempts to seek medical treatment with no results, Ms. Liu’s family gave up completely, and Ms. Liu continued to work and live in pain.
Finally, during a review, Ms. Liu suddenly became ill and fainted in the hospital clinic. The doctor immediately conducted a blood test on Ms. Liu, and the test results showed that the level of white blood cells increased significantly. Later, Ms. Liu's high fever persisted, accompanied by symptoms such as shock and shock.The heart rate dropped rapidly. The doctor gave Ms. Liu an intravenous injection of epinephrine and put her on a ventilator.
After an hour and a half of rescue, Ms. Liu finally passed away. It was only 146 days from Ms. Liu's miscarriage to her death. This incident was so strange that it was hard to believe. The doctor's final diagnosis was septic shock . Because the level of white blood cells in Ms. Liu's body was higher than the normal value, it was judged to be caused by infection.
Ms. Liu's sister is the head of a medical identification institution. She was shocked by her sister's sudden death and also expressed doubts about the cause of her death. At her repeated request, Ms. Liu's husband decided to conduct a judicial appraisal to give his wife justice. After handling his wife's funeral, Ms. Liu's husband reported the case to the local public security agency and applied for a judicial investigation.
The autopsy results showed:
Ms. Liu's death was caused by acute suppurative peritonitis caused by intestinal obstruction and intestinal rupture, and death by septic shock caused by acute peritonitis and pelvic inflammatory disease . Moreover, the forensic doctor also found three pieces of gauze in Ms. Liu's body.
According to the autopsy results of Ms. Liu, the forensic doctor made the following autopsy report: The cause of death of the patient was septic shock caused by intestinal obstruction. The main reason was that the hospital's surgical abortion operation was not performed in a standardized manner and the gauze was left in Ms. Liu's body.
The public security organs immediately launched an investigation into Ms. Liu’s original hospital. In the end, the court determined that the hospital was primarily responsible for Ms. Liu’s death. In addition to the most basic compensation, the relevant doctors and nurses have been punished to varying degrees.
Ms. Liu’s husband also accepted the matter when it came to this, and he was able to seek justice for his wife.
Ms. Liu's incident caused a great sensation, and many mothers began to worry about whether they would be like this. This incident caused panic, and everyone's confidence in doctors was once again hit. As a medical worker, the doctor felt very sad. First, he felt relieved about what happened to Ms. Liu; second, he was angry with the surgeon who performed the incident.
Because of his mistake, a living life was lost. This incident has also sounded the alarm for many patients. In recent years, patient deaths caused by doctors' irregular technical operations have occurred frequently. This is not an isolated case.
Doctors are supposed to be born in white, and their duty is to treat illnesses and save lives. But now the patient's death was caused by his own negligence, which is simply ridiculous.
This incident has sounded the alarm to many doctors and patients. Hospitals should pay attention to operating standards during the operation and strictly prevent surgical gauze from being left in the patient's abdominal cavity.
also exposed problems such as hospital management personnel's negligence and the failure to implement relevant systems in place. Ms. Liu's surgeon also had his medical license revoked because of this incident, and he will never be able to work on the operating table again. This is an explanation for everyone.
