"Fever" 40 days in the Hospital

Dubono, Regine

"Fever" 40 days in the Hospital

In this diary, Dorothy takes her husband to the hospital because he has a high fever, suffers episodes of fainting and refuses food and drink. She is hoping the doctors will start treatment to lessen the fever and help him eat and regain his strength. None of this happens because the "team" is obsessed with diagnosis. Once there is a diagnosis, all they have to do is go to a computer and find the treatment all ready for them. Besides, various members of the team keep repeating the same tests, unconcerned about whether the patient can tolerate them. Many of these tests are extremely invasive and dangerous. Their obsessive search for a diagnosis bends on OCD. And in the end Dubono drops a bombshell proving their final diagnosis to be wrong any way. Many important observations are expressed concerning our health care system. Worth reading, if you are inclined to think.
