A 45-year-old male executive persisted diarrhea and mistook it for enteritis: I didn't expect that I would have AIDS, and now I regret it

You can't even cure diarrhea in a hospital of your size!" a male patient yelled at the doctor in the consultation room.

When he was emotional, he even said, "Do you know who I am?" Even your dean has to give me face, I don't lie to you, I can shake your dean over with a phone call, but I don't want to do that, you know?

But just three days later, the male patient was completely remorseful.

Because the test results showed that they were HIV-positive.

The male patient's surname is Zheng, 45 years old, Lao Zheng is an executive of a listed company, has financial power, and has strong strength, although the words he said in the clinic are somewhat exaggerated, but they are not bragging.

You say that you go to the hospital, and you are not the leader of other people's doctors, so talking to others like this is really damaging the image of an executive?

But from another point of view, Lao Zheng was really anxious, so he also found the doctor who treated him and apologized, saying that his tone was not very good that day.

In fact, it can be understood, after all, Lao Zheng has diarrhea for more than a week, but there has been no improvement, I went to the hospital four or five times, the symptoms are good and bad, Lao Zheng is getting more and more anxious, after all, he will go abroad to attend a meeting in half a month.

It's been a week, and the diarrhea is not good, according to Lao Zheng, I have an acute enteritis, and a hospital as big as yours is not good!

But is it really that simple as enteritis?

Not.

It wasn't until Lao Zheng was hospitalized that the cause was clarified.

Many people will say that the quality of outpatient doctors is too poor, right?

It's no wonder that the doctor can't blame you, but if a patient with diarrhea comes to the outpatient clinic and asks you to take an HIV test, how would you react?

You're sure you'll scold this doctor for being sick at the first opportunity.

Besides, there are so many causes of diarrhea that you can't really find out with one or two tests.

Lao Zheng was diagnosed with AIDS, and even he couldn't believe it.

After all, at the age of 45, he has already become a senior executive of the company, he wants power, money, and a bright future, but he has to see his high-rise buildings rise and see him collapse overnight.

Why do I get AIDS?

In fact, such a childish question really doesn't need to be asked, there is a good saying, flies don't bite seamless eggs.

A lot of people always say, I just went to take a shower, I went to press a motorcycle, I used a hotel bathrobe, and then I got infected.

Do you believe that?

Sexual transmission is the main way of transmission of AIDS, and most of those diagnosed with AIDS are actually not clean, have multiple sexual partners, and high-risk sexual behaviors are the most important way to lead to the transmission of AIDS.

Lao Zheng, a 45-year-old executive, cried and said to the doctor: I didn't expect to get AIDS, and now I regret it.

What does he regret? What he regrets is that because of his special status, he often has to go abroad to attend some meetings and activities, but it is precisely by taking advantage of these opportunities that he has been in and out of the red light district abroad again and again.

Let's ask, how can you not be infected if you are so unclean?

Now, after being diagnosed with AIDS, he begged the doctor to keep it a secret for him, even if the hospital leaders were his acquaintances, he did not dare to trouble them, for fear that his AIDS would be made public.

The doctor told him not to worry, AIDS belongs to your personal privacy, and the most basic professional ethics of doctors is to protect the patient's personal privacy, but for the safety of your family, it is recommended that you still tell your family the truth.

The doctor said that AIDS is actually a disease that is not easy to diagnose, the main reason is that its symptoms are not typical, AIDS-infected patients can have diarrhea, fever, abdominal pain, weight loss, cough, sputum production, hemoptysis, shortness of breath, swollen lymph nodes, night sweats, etc., these symptoms are not specific symptoms of AIDS.

Just like Lao Zheng, when he has diarrhea, the first thing he thinks of is enteritis.

For example, many patients with cough will first think of pneumonia or bronchitis.

In addition, many patients are not honest and hide their travel history from doctors, resulting in misjudgments by doctors.

In addition, in this society, everyone is talking about HIV discoloration, most AIDS patients are diagnosed by accident, and few people take the initiative to go to the hospital to ask for HIV testing, as a doctor, when you encounter hospitalized patients, you prescribe HIV tests and say in the past, for example, some people want blood transfusions, surgery, and various invasive tests, you can have a reason to check HIV, but outpatients, others come, you let others check HIV, others must scold you for being sick!
