Now . Future

A wife visited her husband in hospital because of getting dengue fever. She complained of having dizziness during the visit hours.
So, the Dr checked her and found out that her blood pressure was at 90/60 mmHg.
After that, she was straight being admitted and extensive intravenous fluid was given.
In late stage, she was sent to ICU.
Her husband was in ward and in stabilised condition, went to see her in ICU.
Finally, she couldn't be saved because of the life threatening Dengue Haemorrhagic Shock.(DHS)
She was under diagnosed to have dengue fever and she was in the most critical phase of Dengue fever--> 'Defeversence' phase where plasma leakage can occur and it causes fatal.

Maybe this is an usual event occurs is hosp but as a medical student, I gain a lesson that we must know what are we learning daily and apply it on real case wisely.

The woman's life can be saved and DHS is a preventable disease.
We should try to save them. At least prevent them from getting worse.
Learning medicine is to save the people out there and not just getting the knowledge from the books per se.

So,change ur attitude from now on if you're not.
