4/4/2018 按預定下午1點要見A醫生。在家先準備了一份備忘錄,對過去幾周內所做過各種檢查及有關谘詢列表。寫明討論結果及檢測結果。那些需要醫生出示最終報告。
上午照常上班。
12:05PM 在一樓取血室簽到,五分鍾後抽了三管血,送檢血細胞分類計數、肝腎功能。
12:50PM 到七樓候診大廳簽到,付了四十刀扣賠。等待……
1:20PM 護士出來,向我們招手。來過許多回了,認識了。量了體重、血壓、體溫,再重複以往常規問答。等待
1:40PM 醫生終於出現了。問候之後,把備忘給他,雙方就共同關心的內容展開深入探討。
尤其是跨關節下方軟組織活檢的病理報告,我沒有事先看到。A醫生再次核對最終報告,示給我看,隻是軟組織增生,沒有惡性細胞。立馬從椅子上跳起,激動!溢於言表。
待冷靜下來後,討論了如何解決末抽出胸水那位女胸外科醫生。A醫生表示他會在適當時間訪問抽胸水的處置室,再決定是否送其他患者去那裏。
我表示要向院方申訴,A醫生說:那是你的權利,你自己決定。
接下來繼續討論我的病情。A醫生認為不排除潛在性癌細胞生長,隻是還沒有大到被發現而已。繼續現有的生活工作方式,不易過勞。強調絕大多數我這種四期肺癌患者會在治療停止後兩年內複發。我這種身體狀況越來越好的極少見到。
約定六周回訪,下次麵診前做CT,以評估原發灶中癌細胞活躍程度。CEA不能做為肺癌的特異性標記,以後不測了。
至此,雙方就共同關心的問題達成共識並提出可行性解決方案。麵診在友好熱烈的氣氛中結束。
與癌共存,是目前可達到理想狀態。
努力吧,再過半年就停藥兩年了。人生的路就這樣一步步走出來的。
在此向一直關注我的朋友們致謝。
附錄:本次麵診的備忘。這個很重要,不會遺漏重點,醫生留一份寫病曆。

3/22/2018 AM UAMS Interventional Radiology Department: IR BONE BIOPSY DEEL
No final Path report
3/22/2018 PM Surgery Clinic -- Outpatient IR: Paracentesis for the pleural effusion
A female Doctor (Name?) did the procedure by inserting a needle at back with sitting position.
Failed to draw anything, and the Doc gone without apology.
Any report in medical history? I got the bills for the procedure.
I really suspect whether the facility and attending doctor(s) are qualified for the procedures. Strongly recommend a review by UAMS.
Should I fill an official complain?
3/27/2018 Gastroenterology Clinic: Evaluation with Donna L. Dunn, APRN, CNP for the prep.
4/2/1018 ENDOSCOPY, COLON: Performed by BENJAMIN THARIAN, MD

Consideration
