以下是今夜我與我家小朋友們針對此事在email上的對白:
Me:
Latest findings:
Tumor size: 14 x 12 x 10 cm
Location: on top of one of the adrenal glands
Treatment: tumor along with one adrenal gland was removed
Outcome: persistent sharp pains in the past disappeared completely
Questions for Drs. XXXX (我家兩位學醫的小朋友) to ponder:
Why wasn't it detected earlier? (They reviewed old image files and found it was there after the fact. None of the numerous doctors reviewed them in the past picked it up.)
How could a good doctor have done to prevent this from happening? It was a 7-year life quality damage and loss!
SR: (daughter)
it is pretty shocking that they didn't find anything after all this time...
Me:
It is indeed a live miracle. It is a very valuable lesson to learn in many aspects:
1. Human is very incapable. Human makes mistakes and errors all the time. Man should be more humble. Nothing to brag about. The most scary part is when man makes mistake, he does not know about it.
2. God can always convert or revert human's "impossible" into "possible", because he is the one who creates the rules and the laws for our biology system. He is the one who would provide scientific rationales, ground, and basis to justify what you find afterwards. In this case, the existence of a huge tumor.
3. A doctor, performing the repair work on behalf of the God according to God's biological rules and laws, should always be open-minded, observing, cautious, and careful when handle another creature. No doctors should take it casually or lightly because the patient is not related to you by blood. Any pain a patient suffered represents a lot of stress suffered by many families behind the patient. It is not just the patient, a single individual.
4. A patient's life or death could be in a doctor's hand, even if he is a family or primary doctor. There is only a hairline between live and death. That's how Dr. Stringer was made an outstanding doctor who save countless number of patients' lives. A good family doctor is the one who can critically save patient's life, not the surgeon. A primary doctor proactively "acts" while a surgeon can only "react".
Please share with me any other thoughts you might have.

that's a very large tumor, it would be hard to miss unless it grew very quickly. I'd agree with everything you listed...medicine isn't perfect by any means, and it's still an artform to many degrees, since you'll get very different opinions from different doctors on the same issue, and even very different results with the same treatment amongst different patients. So yea, humans are definitely not as "in control" of everything as they wish they were. i'm really glad they found this and were able to excise it with so much symptom relief, that's a huge thing. btw, did they specify what kind of tumor it is? the adrenal gland is very tiny and there's different types of tumors that can form on it...
Me:
Ha ha...
I like Dr. XXXX's talk. You sound like a philosopher and an artist now. That's the best a great and humble doctor can be.
The small tumor was there about 6 or 7 years ago when it started imposing pain to the nerve system as evidenced now in CT scan slices at that time. Could that because it was hidden among many soft tissue guts in that section or compartment so it was missed?
According to the surgical team, it turned out to be a big surprise when they opened the chest and found it was on the adrenal gland. They admitted they had misjudged the location at somewhere else before the surgery.
