I don’t think this doctor was unfair at all when he was criticized. For whatever reason, he did end up misdiagnosing. As an expert, he may have to see many patients every day, and he may have seen too many diseases. When he sees some tissues that look very similar to tumors, he may have preconceptions. Therefore, when he examines his children, he may have already made a conclusion in his heart. Now that the mistake has been made, if you have the courage to admit it and self-examine, you may be forgiven by more people. Now he has made 8 points in response. Each of his responses seems to say that he is very professional. It is understandable that he will be criticized again.

The specific circumstances of this matter.

According to the parents’ response, they discovered an unknown black tissue on the roof of their child’s mouth at the end of August. They were worried that the child might have a physical problem, so they spent 302 yuan to find an expert at Xiangya Hospital. Children check. The expert was rude and had a bad attitude when examining the child. Finally, he suspected that the child had a congenital embryonal tumor, followed by a question mark. The treatment opinion is to hospitalize for surgical treatment, remove the tumor, and conduct a biopsy to clarify the nature of the mass.

Due to the shortage of hospital beds at that time, the child was not immediately arranged to be hospitalized. The parents took the child to another local people's hospital for examination. The doctor touched the unknown black tissue with a cotton swab, and the tissue fell off on its own. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a lotus seed shell.

What was the doctor’s response to this matter?

The doctor responded that because the child was too young and had no awareness of autonomous behavior, when examining the child, he could only gently pinch his nose and open his mouth for inspection. Under normal circumstances, instruments such as tweezers and probes must be used to examine the oral cavity. Considering that the child moves randomly during the examination, once the child's oral tissue is broken, it is likely to cause infection. I originally wanted to prescribe a CT examination for my child, but the radiation in CT is not good for children, and it also takes time to make an appointment, so I gave up this idea.
