In Zhejiang, a man with advanced stomach cancer** is seeking medical attention. His wife considered **family property to continue**, but the doctor advised her to calm down: "You have done your best, but due to the limitations of current medical technology, he has no chance. However, it is still necessary for you to continue living ...... as a living person”
Ms. Pei and her husband live in the countryside and are involved in various jobs to make ends meet, including moving bricks at construction sites and setting up stalls at night markets. No matter how hard it is, as long as they can earn money, they are not afraid.
As the saying goes, husband and wife share their own benefits. Therefore, with their efforts, they finally bought a house and lived a relatively stable life.
However, the good times don't last long. More than a year ago, Ms. Pei's husband felt unwell and a hospital examination showed that he had advanced stomach cancer.
On the day she received the diagnosis notice, Ms. Pei felt that the whole world had collapsed, but her husband comforted her and said that she should face it positively, and that she might be able to ** with advanced modern medical conditions.
Introduced by a friend, Ms. Pei and her husband came to a cancer hospital in Zhejiang for treatment and found Dr. Yu.
Dr. Yu couldn't help but frown when he saw the examination report provided by Ms. Pei. The diagnosis in the report is very worrying: signet ring cell carcinoma, advanced, has spread to the abdominal cavity.
He could only tell Ms. Pei truthfully: "I believe other doctors have also mentioned to you that your husband's condition is very bad." There will be a huge amount of money to be spent and you have to be mentally prepared. ”
Ms. Pei said anxiously: "No matter how much money is needed, we have to **."
As if he was afraid that the doctor's slightest hesitation would delay her husband's time.
Seeing that Ms. Pei was so concerned about her husband's performance, Dr. Yu understood her determination, so he said, "We will do our best, but the result is unpredictable. It can be costly, but it doesn't work out perfectly. ”
Ms. Pei nodded in agreement with her complicated feelings, she only hoped that her husband could live one more day.
Subsequently, Dr. Yu spared no effort to try various methods by means such as surgery, surgery, immunization, and targeting. At the same time, they spent all their family savings and even owed a large amount of debt. However, Ms. Pei's husband's condition was finally stabilized to some extent.
I thought I had successfully defeated the disease, but a year after the operation, Ms. Pei's husband had cancer again.
The couple could only consult Dr. Yu again, and Ms. Pei cried and pleaded: "Please save my husband, I can sell the house." ”
Dr. Yu advised Ms. Pei to calm down and wait for the results of the examination to reveal her husband's specific situation.
However, after waiting for all the test results to come back, Dr. Yu felt overwhelmed. After much consideration, he decided to persuade Ms. Pei.
He said: "Medicine has certain limitations, and according to the current level of technology, your husband has no further value. ”
After saying this, Ms. Pei's tears welled up.
Dr. Yu paused for a moment, then said, "You have done your best, of course you can choose to continue**, but it may not achieve the desired effect. Moreover, you still have children who need to go to school, after all, life needs to go on, and I advise you not to blindly increase the burden. ”
Dr. Yu later explained that it was more difficult to persuade the patient's family to give up than to persuade him, because the doctor himself was under tremendous psychological pressure when he said such things. But as a doctor, one should think more about the patient.
The benevolence of the healer is exactly that.
Even though she knew that she might not be able to change her condition, Ms. Pei still firmly supported her sick husband, which is commendable and shows the deep affection between the husband and wife. If there is no disease to plague, I believe they will be able to stay together for a long time.
Ms. Pei insisted that her husband also met the obligations of the Civil Code for husband and wife to support each other.
If one spouse abandons the other spouse who is seriously ill, the possibility of desertion is involved.
According to the relevant provisions of the Criminal Code, family members have an obligation to support them, and refusal to support members who are old, young, sick or unable to support themselves may face serious legal consequences.
Some people questioned whether it was appropriate for Dr. Yu to persuade Ms. Pei to give up **
According to the provisions of the Physician Law, doctors should have professional ethics and respect and care for patients.
Dr. Yu recommended to give up** because Ms. Pei's husband's condition was irreparable, and he gave advice from the patient's point of view, and it was only a suggestion, not a mandatory. Therefore, his persuasion is not only reasonable, but also an expression of the doctor's benevolence.
In fact, medical ethics are more important than medical skills. A doctor like Dr. Yu who thinks about his patients at every turn deserves praise!
