Patient with appendix was diagnosed… poisoning

On May 4, on social networks, information was posted about a famous clinic in Buon Ma Thuot City (Dak Lak) diagnosed a patient with poisoning but then discovered appendicitis pain. The news quickly spread, causing frustration for many people.

According to the poster, around 10 o’clock on May 1, Mr. VQC (25 years old, residing in Buon Ma Thuot City) had abdominal pain, so he went to ND General Clinic (Buon Ma Thuot City) for examination. Here, the doctor diagnosed Mr. C. poisoning, prescribed medicine for him to take home.

In the afternoon of the same day, Mr. C had a fever, was in pain and could not walk, so he went to Thien Hanh General Hospital in Buon Ma Thuot City to be hospitalized. There he was found to have appendicitis. Doctors quickly operated on and Mr. C’s health was stable.

According to the person who posted the information, after the incident, the patient’s family called the clinic’s hotline to reflect but the people at the clinic pushed each other to blame. “There is no responsibility if someone’s intestines are broken, what will happen, now they say they don’t know what,” wrote the person who posted the urgent information.

Talking to us, the representative of ND General Clinic, said that the night before, patient C. ate something, so he suspected food poisoning. When I went to the ultrasound clinic, I also had many problems with my abdomen, but I did not find appendicitis pain, the doctor prescribed medicine to drink.

According to this person, after receiving the information, the representative of the clinic visited and apologized to patient C.
