General Hospital spoilers reveal that TJ Ashford (Tajh Bellow) urged Willow Tait (Katelyn MacMullen) to be honest about her symptoms. However, Willow lied about not eating. TJ told Willow that she’s pregnant, but could there be another explanation. Willow’s omission could cause a missed and more dangerous diagnosis that doesn’t get early enough treatment.
Willow Tait’s Omission
GH spoilers reveal that Willow collapsed yet again. This time, it was at the Metro Court pool.
Even though Willow collapsed before, this time was different. Willow’s face was sickly pale and gaunt. Willow’s eyes were wide and wild-looking. Plus, there were purple and black circles around her eyes.
Once Willow woke up, Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) took her to the emergency room. By that time, Willow’s face magically returned to normal.
TJ asked Willow questions to help them determine what tests to conduct. TJ knew that Willow was downplaying her symptoms and urged her to be honest.
Even though Willow was honest about some things, she lied about eating that day.
It might not be a big deal in most cases, but this could lead TJ not to order a specific test. That could result in TJ missing something important.
GH Spoilers: Pregnancy Diagnosis
TJ came back to Willow’s hospital room and said he didn’t have an official diagnosis yet. However, the pregnancy test came back positive. Even though false negatives are common, false positives rarely happen.
Misdiagnosis vs Missed Diagnosis
General Hospital spoilers reveal that Willow could be pregnant and have a devastating disease. However, there are a few conditions that can actually lead to a positive pregnancy test when there is no baby.
According to Hospice of Queen Anne’s, ovarian cancer can cause a false positive pregnancy test.
Of course, when the OB consult come to see Willow, the specialist might order some tests or do an ultrasound. That would give Willow answers right away.
However, since Willow is only a few weeks along according to TJ, the OB/GYN might decide nothing is necessary until down the road.
If Willow has ovarian cancer, that could make the difference between life and death. Let’s not forget that Willow first passed out 3 months ago… and she was not pregnant then!
General Hospital Spoilers: TJ Ashford’s Breakdown
TJ has already been doubting his ability to be a good doctor. TJ had a really hard time when he couldn’t save Harmony Miller (formerly Inga Cadranel).
Even though Britt Westbourne (Kelly Thiebaud) tried to counsel TJ, his life led him to deal with another crisis.
That is when Marshall Ashford (Robert Gossett) disappeared, and TJ went searching for him.
Then, there is the whole situation with Curtis Ashford (Donnell Turner) and Trina Robinson (Tabyana Ali).
It seems that TJ really isn’t taking the time to deal with his mental health as all of these issues pile up.
So, if Willow has ovarian cancer and isn’t pregnant, TJ could blame himself if she doesn’t get treatment in time.
Will this lead TJ to quit medicine or have a complete mental breakdown?
