For nearly five years, Anna lived with constant stomach pain that slowly became part of her daily routine. Each time she complained, her husband, a doctor, dismissed it as simple gastritis and told her to take pills and rest. Trusting his medical background, she tried to endure the discomfort, even when the pain changed into something more alarming—sharp attacks and a strange pressure that felt as if something inside her was moving. One night the pain became unbearable, leaving her barely able to breathe, but her husband again refused to call for help. The next day, when a neighbor heard her cries and called an ambulance, doctors quickly realized something was seriously wrong. After an emergency examination, Anna was rushed into surgery, where surgeons discovered a massive abscess that had been developing inside her body for years, threatening to rupture and become fatal at any moment.
Doctors later told Anna she had survived by sheer luck and that her condition could not have gone unnoticed for so long. As she recovered, she learned that her husband had seen earlier test results but chose to minimize her illness instead of pushing for proper treatment. The discovery shattered her trust, forcing her to confront the painful truth that her suffering had been ignored when she most needed support. During her long hospital recovery, Anna realized her future could not include someone who dismissed her health and fears. After leaving the hospital, she chose to reclaim control of her life, filing both a formal complaint and for divorce. Her survival became not only a medical miracle but also a turning point, reminding her that listening to one’s own body and seeking help can be the difference between life and tragedy.
