Doctors, a noble profession. People have endowed this profession with many halos, saving lives, eliminating disasters and reducing pain, and renewing life.
In my inherent impression, the professional environment has caused doctors to have a very indifferent view of life and death, and they are absolutely rational and even a little indifferent. However, I never thought that the original doctors' view of life and death was also emotional, and their "compassionate" emotions were just deeply buried.
I also never knew that there are some things, about life and death, if you can look at it from the perspective of a doctor, maybe life will be more peaceful.
After reading Dr. Bo Shining's book "I Don't Let Go of the Life and Death of the ICU", I gained a lot.
You can read it as a story.
This book records 19 cases that the author has personally experienced, although the patients in each case have different diseases, treatment techniques, and final results, and each patient and his family have different attitudes towards diagnosis and treatment, but each case can explain a theme well.
Two stories that stuck with me the most:
1. A mountain of fatherly love.
A father with his life savings - 60,000 yuan, came to Beijing with his 20-year-old son in the ice and snow ** mental problems, but he himself has heart disease, often said that his heart hurts, but he is reluctant to spend a penny on himself, and he saves the hope of the child to go to Beijing and let the child be hospitalized and completely cured. But he never thought that he would die suddenly of a heart attack, die, and the child became alone, and finally someone from the village left with the ashes and the child.
After reading this story, I am very sorry, they all say that father's love is like a mountain, but such father's love, is it really good, can the sacrifice of the father save the child, how can the child survive without the protection of the father? I can't help but think, as parents, how can we love our children rationally?
Dr. Bo also gave his answer:
"Rational love should include three things: save yourself first, embrace time, and not give up hope. ”Second, the mother's love like water.
The drowning boy missed the best time for treatment, leaving him in a deep coma, and the hope of revival became very slim. Every day at 3:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m., the ICU has an hour of visiting time, and the child's mother comes to visit every day to help ** turn over and wipe the child.
The mother begged the doctor to give him more time so that she could shout more to wake up her son, who was in a deep coma, and without disturbing the other patients, the doctor and ** acquiesced to her behavior, and the mother whispered in the child's ear over and over again every night: "Son, son, you open your eyes." Half a year later, many relatives began to persuade the mother to give up, but she still believed that his son would wake up. Until one night her child opened his eyes.
The mother's love like water allows the child to awaken and be reborn, hope is sometimes out of reach, but we don't let go, maybe it's close at hand.
You can read it as a book of life.
"I'm so angry, kid, take me home. ”This case made me think the most.
In the last moment of life, where does the heart go?
A 68-year-old mother is a terminal cancer patient, and her son and daughter have been actively taking her back and forth for two years, using the best medicines, seeing the most experienced doctors, and going to the best hospitals. They spent a lot of time, money and energy.
During her time in the general ward**, her condition continued to deteriorate and eventually she developed respiratory failure, cardiac arrest, and was admitted to the ICU. After waking up after being resuscitated, she just wanted to go home.
The doctor advised the siblings to let go and take their mother home.
"Letting go at the right time is not a failure, the special thing about the disease is that as long as we do anything else, success may come unexpectedly one day, but no matter how the direction is right, it is accidental, and it is inevitable that everyone will leave. ”Doctors should not only have the ability to save lives, but also the ability to help people who are at a loss to deal with death more rationally.
The siblings eventually followed the doctor's advice. They took their mother back to the yard of their hometown, saw the jujube trees and pigsty in the yard, the family surrounded her, held her hand, and the mother left peacefully.
The mother has no regrets, and the brother and sister have also achieved filial piety. I don't think my mother will be afraid of death.
You can also read it as a general medical knowledge.
After reading this book, I learned that the body would love him more than ourselves, and I learned a lot of medical knowledge that I would not normally have access to.
Epilogue. If you want to define "Life Hangs by a Thread, I Don't Let Go, ICU Life and Death", it's really a bit difficult, then define it by the words of the cover:
"A book of life care by the guardian of life, Dr. Bo Shining. ”
