1, judging from your introduction, the doctor has never been diagnosed. What should I do if I make a misdiagnosis?
2, the doctor failed to diagnose through examination, only symptomatic treatment, continue to actively follow up, observation, until the typical symptoms of appendicitis, to give a diagnosis. There is nothing wrong with the medical procedure.
3. Appendicitis is a common and frequently-occurring disease in general surgery. It is generally easy to diagnose, and the misdiagnosis rate of tertiary hospitals is 15%. No matter how good a doctor is, he tripped over this minor illness. I have been engaged in general surgery for more than 20 years, and there is still a misdiagnosis rate of 10%.
The situation of human body is very complicated. With the development of medicine today, all diseases cannot be diagnosed at the first time with 100%. I think as long as you are careful and responsible, you can have a clear conscience.
5, medicine is very professional, doctors should strengthen communication with patients and their families, and I am also angry with your friend's last situation. This is already a social phenomenon. What do you think is the root cause? I don't think so, doctor.
This is my opinion, please think calmly. If you offend, it is unintentional.
