Today I scanned an old uncle with suspected prostate CA. He is old, slim, tall, nearly bold, with wrinkled face. He is one of the interesting case of the day.
We saw a mass at right lateral to a normal looking prostate. The mass is invading the bladder. The uncle is having urgency to pass motion but unable to do it and blood during passing motion too. The uncle was very cooperative.
There were 3 person repeatedly scanned him, MO, me, and radiologist. Whenever we ask the uncle to turn to left or right, breath in and hold, he just do it without questioning or even sighing. His was on catheter and the nurse didn't clamped it before bringing him to the ultrasound department. Eventually, he was clamped and was given some plain water and wait. Then the radiologist scan him again.
The rareness of the case attracted some number of radiographers, doctors and sonographers. We all looked excited discussing about the case. I suddenly saw uncle's face expression. He is sad. He know something is wrong with him. He didn't question much. He put his hand on his forehead and wipe through.
I am feeling guilty of feeling great discussing about the case and neglect the patient. I know patient always is the one to suffer. I am sorry uncle, i will pay more attention to patient like you starting tomorrow onwards. I hope you will get well really really soon and reunite with your family.
