在2013年4月,來自英國蘇格蘭、只有24歲的斯蒂芬妮·迪克森 (Stephanie Dickson) 離開了人間。在逝世的前一陣子,她的頭和脖子一直非常疼痛,還會頭暈,痛苦的狀況維持了9個月。她曾經看過14次不同的醫生,但都是告訴她同樣的事情:只是偏頭痛和緊張性頭痛而已。醫生們告訴她不要擔心,只是開了止痛藥就讓她回去,但她的情況卻越來越糟。

Just like many young women her age, Stephanie Dickson had headaches. But when they continued to get worse, she visited countless doctors. They all told her not to worry.

 

2013年4月5日,她的症狀變得很差,家人馬上把她送到了醫院。可是醫生還是告訴她,這也只是偏頭痛,於是第二天早上就讓她出院了。沒想到當天晚上,她在床上逝世了。

On April 5, her symptoms got so bad that she went to the hospital.  Again, doctors told her that she was just having another migraine and discharged her the following morning.  Later that day, she died in her bed.

最令人心碎的是,如果她沒有被誤診,有被正確地治療的話,她到今天還能活著。

What's more heartbreaking is that she would likely still be alive today if she had been properly diagnosed and treated.

 

在斯蒂芬妮死後,家人發現她有一個良性的腦腫瘤。這個腦腫瘤會讓頭骨的壓力累積得越來越多,造成嚴重頭痛。事實上,如果她得到妥當的治療的話,即使是死亡前一天的晚上,仍然有98%的生存機會。

After Dickson died, her family found out that she had a  benign brain tumor that caused a buildup of pressure in her skull.  They were told that if she had been treated -- even up to the night before she died -- she would have had a 98 percent chance of survival.

她最好的朋友、27歲的勞拉 (Laura Aberdour) 憤怒地表示:「我們一直相信著專業的醫療人士,但是當她覺得診斷有誤時,沒有人認真地對待她。她其實並不需要死的。」

"We have all been left broken by what&rsquo;s happened. It&rsquo;s truly devastating," her best friend, 27-year-old Laura Aberdour <a href="http://metro.co.uk/2017/01/31/woman-turned-away-by-doctors-14-times-died-from-undiagnosed-tumour-6416881/#ixzz4XLcTbKSN" target="_blank">said</a>.  "We put faith in medical professionals but nobody took Steph seriously when she thought something was wrong. She didn&rsquo;t need to die."

 

在這次悲劇之後,她的其他朋友在3月18日於愛丁堡舉辦募捐活動,希望把所有的捐款給予腦腫瘤相關的慈善機構,避免再有同類事情發生。

In the wake of this devastating loss, Aberdour and a few of Dickson's other friends have started raising money for  a <a href="https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/Laura-Aberdour1" target="_blank">fundraiser</a> event in Edinburgh on March 18.  All donations will be given to the <a href="https://www.thebraintumourcharity.org/" target="_blank">The Brain Tumour Charity</a>, which funds medical research to fight brain tumors.

 

「我們想盡力提高大家對腦腫瘤的認識,如果有人覺得自己有相關症狀的話,千萬不要退縮。」勞拉說。

"The aim of the Ladies Day is to keep Steph alive and fight for her.  We need to do all we can to raise awareness of brain tumours and to get the message out there that if someone thinks they have one, don&rsquo;t back down," Aberdour <a href="http://metro.co.uk/2017/01/31/woman-turned-away-by-doctors-14-times-died-from-undiagnosed-tumour-6416881/#ixzz4XLcTbKSN" target="_blank">said</a>.
