He had just turned 40. He had lost his father to cerebral palsy. As far as he remembers, he had a clot in his brain and he was taking aspirin until his father died.
Recently, from the health talks on TV, the internet, etc., he remembered that everyone should take aspirin when they are 40 years old, so he decided to take aspirin on his own. He never even thought that it would be better to see a doctor and take it. Even the grocery store had it. The shopkeeper uncle said that it was up to you, but it would be better to start with baby aspirin.
Ten days later, she started to have abdominal pain and nausea. Her friend gave her two pills, nausea and pain pills. She also had diarrhoea. She thought it was some relief, but then came a cold sweat and more severe nausea. When she could no longer breathe, she went to the hospital. They took some blood tests and put an IV drip. They said her blood pressure was very low and she was also very low in blood. How come? She donated blood to the Red Crescent every year. Two months ago her blood was completely normal. She objected to this. The nurse calmed her down by informing her that the doctor was coming.
When the doctor came in and said her blood was too low, she immediately protested. The doctor said that they had studied the result three times. He told her that he needed to do a stool test. Because he thought that there might be blood loss from his stomach, he explained that he had to do an occult blood test in the stool. He gave the stool in desperation. For some reason, the stool was black and viscous. Soon the result came back. The doctor told him that there was a high probability of stomach haemorrhage, that he would be kept under observation for a while, and that he would be checked endoscopically if necessary. She was asking herself the question “Where did this come from all of a sudden?” when the doctor answered as if he had read her insides; aspirin and painkillers are the main causes of this, and when he said that as far as I know you were taking them, she realised that she had hit the nail on the head.
Endoscopic diagnosis revealed aspirin-induced haemorrhage. He was discharged after seven days. Our donor, who had donated blood earlier, was also fitted with a unit of blood.
From now on, he repented.
Now….What was the right thing to do? What was the right thing to do?
