误诊!


上个周六我哥哥突然满脸长满了红点,起初还以为是皮肤敏感,就到宏茂桥的一间诊所就诊,这位医生就说是因为细菌感染,配了一星期的antibiotic给他服用。可是情况并没好转,今天早上便到后港的另一间诊所就诊。


这位医生更厉害了,我哥哥还来不及说什么,她便拿了一叠照片,告诉我哥他的情况和照片的一样——是发热,所以长满了青春痘。我哥说不可能一夜间会有那么多青春痘,可是这位医生一直坚守她的‘原则’。后来就配了三星期的steriod让他服用。天啊,steriod吃多了是会有后遗症的!

我告诉我哥不可能是青春痘,要他到AMK Community Hospital寻求2nd opinion,这医生一看见我哥,就诊断出他是出水痘,而不是青春痘!这位医生还告诉我哥他可到medical association 投诉这两位医生。

我非常生气,立刻打电到后港的这间诊所责问这位医生!他们知道错了,便说会退还钱给我哥。


我觉得这不在于退不退还钱的问题,而是这两位医生太没道德了!人命关天,怎么可以胡乱配药呢?太过分了!

下一次若你生病了,而觉得医生诊断得不对,记得要寻求2nd opinion...

Hi Kat,

Money is not everything, should bring this up further at least to Consumer Association to prevent repeated case & what happen if the next victim is a child or elderly.....

Richard & Somewhere in SG,

I agree with both of you, money is not everything... Well, this female doc is a stand in doc for this clinic and the fact that she's pregnant, my brother decided not to take any actions against her... Well, knowing that she has made a misdiagnose, I'm sure she'll be more alert next time round...
