Izzy has cancer!
If one patient hadn't complained about her diagnosis, she wouldn't know. It so happened the blood samples one of the intern doctors took from the patient and Izzy were interchangeably labeled. Because of this carelessness, the patient was misdiagnosed to have a cancer while Izzy was found only to be anemic. So the patient took several opinions only to find she was the one who's anemic and not Izzy.
her line (the patient) was
"I went to an oncologist and he found nothing the he referred me to an immunologist and several other ologist I don't understand only to find out I was just anemic...don't say sorry to me, tell that to the person who's dying of cancer (the one with who has her blood sample interchanged with)" guess to whom this patient made the complain with...IZZY.
Of course Izzy w
as terrified hearing this, terrified and mad. She was mad at her intern who mislabeled their blood samples; mad that if it hadn't been for the patient who complained, she wouldn't know she has cancer; mad that if her interns wouldn't learn and be careful enough, they could kill their patients.
May this be a very good lesson most especially to our doctors and people in the field of healthcare. I know they're on-call and don't get enough sleep, but hey, every job has its difficulty.
