The doctor successfully removed the foreign body from the anus, but the patient refused to pay because he did not complete the colonoscopy

Working in a hospital, you will always encounter some new and strange things. Especially in the gastroenterology room, you can often see people eating all kinds of things out of desperation, and some even put things into their anus or genitals.

I don't know what these people are thinking. Are they out of their minds? For example, we have encountered a patient with a bottle cap in his stomach. The patient said he didn't know how it got in. He had stomach pain for a few days and found it in the hospital. I recall that I had a party with my old classmates a few days ago and drank a lot of beer.

What's more, we once even took out a ping-pong ball from the anus.

It's really unbelievable! A ping-pong ball is so big, but he can actually fit it in. After further questioning, I found out that he did it to satisfy his girlfriend's request.

If it was just to remove something, we would not be surprised. However, we encountered something even more bizarre a few days ago. The bizarre thing was not anything else, but this person: after we helped her remove the foreign body, she actually refused to pay. The reason was that we did not complete the colonoscopy!

At that time, her friend brought her to the hospital. Seeing her hair full of colorful hair and heavy makeup, we didn't dare to ask how the stuff got in.

While she was awake, her colleagues in the laparoscopy room tried several times but failed to remove the foreign body. The reason was that every time she pulled the snare out of her anus, she closed her anus tightly. Therefore, they failed several times.

There was no other choice, so they asked me to have anesthesia.

Seeing this situation, I didn't say anything and injected an anesthetic.

After three or two minutes, a pen cap was taken out.

Since the pen cap is only slightly above the rectum, we can call it a day after taking it out.

However, when we asked them to pay the extra fee, they not only refused to pay, but also asked for a refund of the colonoscopy fee, saying that the colonoscopy was not completed.

Although we explained a lot, they just wouldn't listen. They only insisted on one point: there was no colonoscopy report.

At this time, we were filled with mixed emotions. Now it was good that we had done it for them. If it hadn't been done well, not only would we have lost the consumables and medicines, but we would also have been sued.

Both of them were young people in their 20s, and they looked like they were short of money. If that wasn't the case, they would have been very grateful to us. However, at the time, there was no way to contact her family. So we asked the medical department to solve the problem.

Later I heard that the Medical Department was a good person and really did not charge the anesthesia fee, only charging for one anesthetic.

We didn't know what to say when we heard the news. But after thinking about it, we could only do this. After all, there are too few people like this.

Summary of experience and lessons: In the future, when doing colonoscopy, we must follow the routine and see the ileocecal region and the opening of the small intestine before withdrawing the endoscope. Before anesthesia, we must let the patient pay first and then anesthesia. Of course, those patients with acute and critical conditions will be treated separately.
