Schwarzes Schaf in weissem Kittel - Erinnerungen und Erfahrungen eines Hausarztes - Autobiografie

The patient's abdomen was opened, and the chief physician cut into the giant hematoma instead of first clamping the aorta. A fountain of blood erupted. Now working blindly, the incompetent doctor fumbled around in the pool of blood and eventually tried to clamp the aorta, but apparently tore off a few side branches above in the process. The anesthetists pumped 20 blood transfusions into the unfortunate patient, but could not counteract the blood loss. I was utterly horrified by the procedure. The pathologist noted in the autopsy report that the cause of death was "hemorrhagic shock due to ruptured aortic aneurysm," without mentioning the incredible botched operation. Doctors are only human, and occasionally, they turn out to be black sheep in white coats. This realization must come to aspiring Dr. Boden during his medical studies. Bullying is part of the culture, and some medical malpractice costs lives. As a resident, he experiences the daily life of a hospital, works as a physician in practices, and culminates his career by opening his own general practice. Dr. Boden shares episodes from his life as a physician, recounting complicated medical histories, humorous incidents, and tragic fates. The well-being of his patients is always his top priority. However, he also takes societal developments and political escapades to task. Additionally, he dedicates himself to aging research. The autobiography of a warm-hearted, humorous doctor with heart and soul.
