The cause of the patient's death is related to improper urinary catheterization, which means the Digestive Internal Medicine department needs to take responsibility.
"The patient's abdomen was as swollen as a drum, and the skin was brownish, indicating long-term retention of urine and feces in the body. This could lead to toxins harming the body, causing severe organ failure and possibly resulting in death. The urinary catheter failed to drain urine, so there indeed is a problem."
Director Shi from the hospital's Infection Control Office also reached a similar conclusion.
All are professionals, and their analysis of the patient's cause of death is unlikely to be mistaken.
The preliminary investigation results from both parties pointed to responsibility within the Digestive Internal Medicine's treatment, causing the attending physician and Director Shang to feel anxious.
The nurse who inserted the urinary catheter showed the same fearful expression.
