the biggest mistake of life..
Friday, June 16th, 2006well, it has been a while i have not written something in my blogs…so many thoughts to put in but no time laaa……anyway, surprised by the title of my blog???well, it’s not my mistakes anyway, just wanna share a story of my patient for our own benefits…
i was on call last sunday…a 21 yr old girl got admitted for severe epigastric pain..so we thought she had gastritis as well TRO acute pancreatitis….her epigastric was damn tender…she was treated conservatively with drips, NBM, analgesia and such….
the next day, consultant buat round, ordered for CT abdomen to look at the pancreas..puas laa pujuk radiologist mintak CT abdomen…tp dia kata buat ultrasound dulu laa….well takpe laa…
so, when i was in time to do my pm round, i got a call from the radiology dept…MO tuh tanyer ada buat UPT tak kat patient tu…i kata takder…dia kata they found an intra uterine gestational sac within her….i was shocked..!!!she’s single, looked so innocent and so baik one….!from pious family…!nasib baik tak buat CT scan…radiation to the baby!!!
we referred her to O&G to do dating scan…it was about 9 weeks..the next day, when i was quite free i had a word with her…it was her boyfriend, known only for 6-7 mths…forced her for a sexual intercourse…only once! she never went out late with him but that night she didnt expect this to happen…she was so stressed out and suffered from abdominal pain and vomiting for the past 1 mth…she didnt know that she was pregnant coz she had irregular menses…she cried coz she felt humiliated and she didnt know how to tell her family…she needed a strong emotional and psychological support…i felt responsible as a doctor, as a friend and as a sister….i was symphatized and empatized with her….i referred her to social worker and psychiatrist…
she’s my patient…i saw her everyday and gave her some moral support by having a chat with her for a few minutes..yesterday, we managed to arrange a family session to reveal the truth about her…i wasnt there coz was bz attending an UGIB pt….yesterday, she developed RIF pain so she went in for a diagnostic laparoscopy and proceed..she had acute appendicitis…GA has high risk to the fetus…we still hope for the best…
she still wants to keep the baby…seems that the boyfren doesnt want to be responsible..mmg ada cakap nak responsible tp berdalih2 kata ada byk financial problems…that girl kata nak masuk pusat pemulihan and have time for herself and repent…i believed her that she was a good girl before…but this 1 big mistake has changed her label as that good girl…she’s relieved coz her family still accepting her but they were hurt…
i was never very much involved with my patient…but i have to in this case…it’s my responsibilities…i need to help her out coz i trust and believe her that she the one yg menjadi mangsa keadaan…i hope that she will go on and Allah will make everything easy for her…
