It is said by a friend of mine that we(doctors) visit each and every part of world by living in the hospital. Some might agree while others might not. Since the start of my medical career i have seen some very interesting cases which have made me a firm believer of this statement.some of those experiences i want to share with you all.
There was once a patient who came for abdominal pain which very severe. After taking proper history and assessing him, we administered him some pain killers and other relevant medications. But he complained of the worsening of pain as the time passed. We tried our second line medications for pain relief but it did not make any difference. Let me tell you that there are very few occasions when these drugs don't work, either the patient is resistant to the drug by having used it frequently or the patient is drug addict, in which we have to increase the dosage and have to use some very potent pain killers. There are some other condition also in which these drugs don't work but we ruled out those conditions as well...I tried to ask the patient again if he is a drug addict but the attendants were not letting him answer and said that he is very religious guy and he will never use any sort of drug...The only drug left for us to try was a morphine derivative which was the last choice...We again tried our best not to give it because it has its own consequences. All of our floor doctors went in the room and tried to counsel him and bingo..he finally admitted that he was an addict...the thing which he was hiding from us which lead to deterioration of his condition and our management..
The point here is that it is not always the fault of doctors but also the patients sometimes mislead us causing these mishaps...
It is just the beginnig of my career but this is just one example, there are a lot of other cases which i will write sometime else..The bottomline is, try to listen to both sides of ftories before making an opinion...
me think this professional is loving nd caring.the peoples of this professional has visiting every country in the world. :)
