病人控告耶鲁医生摘除错了身体的部位 蒋继平 2016 年 3 月 23 日 根据美国有线新闻网（ CNN）今天的报道，有一位病人控告耶鲁新港医院的医生在为她动手术时，摘除错了她的部位。 这篇报道是由资深医学记者伊利莎白 .科恩（ Elizabeth Cohen ）所写。 本文的中文部分只是这篇报道的中心内容， 不是完整的翻译。 我将这篇报道的有关原文拷贝如下，读者可以自己看原文。 我与大家分享这个新闻是因为我希望大家不要迷信现代医学，在发现医疗事故后， 要通过正常的途径讨回公道， 而不是搞医闹。 这篇新闻报道的中心主要意思是，一位 60岁的女病人（ DeborahCraven ）因为第八根肋骨有癌症前期病灶，去年在耶鲁新港医院动手术， 但是，医生们将她的第七根肋骨摘除。由此，她必须进行第二次手术来摘除应该摘除的部分。 医院方面上周发表声明：“我们已经认识到所犯的错误，我们已经通知病人，并且已经向病人道歉， 我们还立即向康涅狄格州的卫生部做了报告”。 但是病人的律师说病人没有得到这样的道歉， 并且说她的一位医生企图掩盖这个失误。 病人的另一位医生对病人说， 因为第一次手术没有摘除足够的部分，所以，要进行第二次手术。 病人的律师在一份新闻发布稿中写道：“要病人在同一天接受第二次手术，又没有真正的医学理由要重复手术， 这本身就是一个明显的欺骗”。 各位读者， 你们是否赞同这位律师的说法呢？ Patient accuses Yale doctors of cover-up, removing wrong bodypart A patient has filed a lawsuitagainst Yale New Haven Hospital for allegedly removing part of the wrong ribduring surgery and then trying to cover up the mistake. Deborah Craven, 60, had surgery lastyear to remove part of her eighth rib because of a precancerous lesion -- butinstead, doctors removed part of her seventh rib, according to the complaint filed in Connecticut Superior Court. She hadto undergo a second surgery to remove the correct portion, the complaint said. We recognized that an errorwas made, we informed and apologized to the patient, and we immediatelyreported it to the Connecticut Department of Health, according to thestatement Yale issued last week. But Craven's lawyer said she neverreceived such an apology and said one of her surgeons tried to cover up themistake. The mistake was discovered whenCraven complained of pain after her surgery on May 18. An X-ray was performed,and Dr. Anthony Kim, an assistant professor of surgery at Yale, informed Cravenand her husband that the wrong rib had been removed, according to Craven'slawyer, Joel Faxon. But Faxon said that five minutes later,Dr. Ricardo Quarrie told the couple something very different. According to the complaint, Quarrietold the couple that the surgeons had not removed enough rib during thesurgery and, for that reason, she would need to undergo another surgery. Making the patient undergoanother surgery the same day, without owning up to the real medical reason forthe repeat surgery is just plain deceitful, Faxon wrote in a pressrelease 。

The 9 Worst Mistakes You Can Ever Make at Work We’ve all heard of (or seen firsthand) people doing some pretty crazy things at work. Truth is, you don’t have to throw a chair through a window or quit in the middle of a presentation to cause irreparable damage to your career. No matter how talented you are or what you’ve accomplished, there are certain behaviors that instantly change the way people see you and forever cast you in a negative light. The following list contains nine of the most notorious behaviors that you should avoid at all costs. 1. Backstabbing The name says it all. Stabbing your colleagues in the back, intentionally or otherwise, is a huge source of strife in the workplace. One of the most frequent forms of backstabbing is going over someone’s head to solve a problem. People typically do this in an attempt to avoid conflict, but they end up creating even more conflict as soon as the victim feels the blade. Anytime you make someone look bad in the eyes of their colleagues, it feels like a stab in the back, regardless of your intentions. 2. Gossiping People make themselves look terrible when they get carried away with gossiping about other people. Wallowing in talk of other people’s misdeeds or misfortunes may end up hurting their feelings if the gossip finds its way to them, but gossiping will make you look negative and spiteful every time, guaranteed. 3. Taking Credit for Someone Else’s Work We’ve all experienced that stomach-dropping feeling that happens when you discover that someone has stolen your idea. Taking credit for someone else’s work—no matter how small—creates the impression that you haven’t accomplished anything significant on your own. Stealing credit also shows that you have zero regard for your team and your working relationships. 4. Having an Emotional Hijacking My company provides 360° feedback and executive coaching , and we come across far too many instances of people throwing things, screaming, making people cry, and other telltale signs of an emotional hijacking. An emotional hijacking demonstrates low emotional intelligence, and it’s an easy way to get fired. As soon as you show that level of instability, people will question whether or not you’re trustworthy and capable of keeping it together when it counts. Exploding at anyone, regardless of how much they might “deserve it,” turns a huge amount of negative attention your way. You’ll be labeled as unstable, unapproachable, and intimidating. Controlling your emotions keeps you in the driver’s seat. When you are able to control your emotions around someone who wrongs you, they end up looking bad instead of you. 5. Announcing That You Hate Your Job The last thing anyone wants to hear at work is someone complaining about how much they hate their job. Doing so labels you as a negative person and brings down the morale of the group. Bosses are quick to catch on to naysayers who drag down morale, and they know that there are always enthusiastic replacements waiting just around the corner. 6. Bragging When someone hits a home run and starts gloating as they run the bases, it’s safe to assume that they haven’t hit very many home runs. On the other hand, if they hit a home run and simply run the bases, it conveys a business-as-usual mentality, which is far more intimidating to the other team. Accomplishing great things without bragging about them demonstrates the same strong mentality—it shows people that succeeding isn’t unusual to you. 7. Telling Lies So many lies begin with good intentions—people want to protect themselves or someone else—but lies have a tendency to grow and spread until they’re discovered, and once everyone knows that you’ve lied, there’s no taking it back. Getting caught up in a lie, no matter how small, is exhausting and hard on your self-esteem. You have to be authentic if you want to be happy with who you are. 8. Eating Smelly Food Unless you happen to work on a ship, your colleagues are going to mind if you make the entire place smell like day-old fish. The general rule of thumb when it comes to food at work is, anything with an odor that might waft beyond the kitchen door should be left at home. It might seem like a minor thing, but smelly food is inconsiderate and distracting—and so easily avoidable. When something that creates discomfort for other people is so easily avoided, it tends to build resentment quickly. Your pungent lunch tells everyone that you just don’t care about them, even when you do. 9. Burning Bridges So much of work revolves around the people you meet and the connections you make. Dropping an atomic bomb on any professional relationship is a major mistake. One of TalentSmart’s clients is a large chain of coffee shops. They have a relatively high turnover, so when a barista quits, it isn’t usually taken personally. One barista, however, managed to burn every single bridge she had in a single day. The surprising thing is that she didn’t yell or do anything extreme; all she did was leave. Without warning, she showed up to her Monday shift, told the store manager she was quitting (she had found a better-paying job somewhere else), and walked out. The result, of course, was that every shift that she was scheduled to work for the next two weeks had to be done with one less person, as she provided no time to find a replacement. She most likely saw her actions as being offensive only to the manager (whom she didn’t like), but in reality, she created two miserable weeks for everyone who worked at the shop. She ruined her otherwise positive connections, with every single one of her colleagues. Bringing It All Together These behaviors sound extreme and highly inconsiderate, but they have a tendency to sneak up on you. A gentle reminder is a great way to avoid them completely. What other behaviors should I add to this list? Please share your thoughts in the comments section below as I learn just as much from you as you do from me.
