After the doctor declared his death to be predicted, the patient and the patient often feel very confused and helpless in his heart, and they need to be advised. At this time, if a doctor is around them, they will feel much more at ease.
Lin Siqi, a physician at Changgeng Hospital in Linkou, shared his experience on his face. He felt that even though the doctor could not help at the end of the patient, silently "companionship" at this time was the best thing the doctor could do.
The family wants to know if the patient is about to leave?
A hospitalized doctor on duty called him at three o'clock in the middle of the night to report the condition of a "critical" patient. That case of end of cancer was his patient. He has been a psychiatric physician in a medical center for twenty years.
He has long told the family to be mentally prepared, and the patient has also signed a DNR (the patient signed a request for intention or a consent for the family to sign). What's there to panic? Call him in the middle of the night, it would be better if there is something important.
"I want to know if the patient is leaving?" the inpatient doctor said stutteringly.
Unexpectedly, he was calm and asked the hospitalized doctor to be nervous. Let's talk about it slowly. "Thank you for notifying me." He said, "I will go to ……"
The car started in the cold night of Serena, and there was no one in the street. His thoughts went back thirty years ago.
At the same doctorate thirty years ago, when he met Mr. Fang Dong's heart disease, he was very terrible when he was in the second year of the medical department and could not find a cheap place to live near the school. Finally, a kind-hearted Real Estate couple took him in. This couple has no children, so they are very good to him, and rent is easy to count. Mr. Fang Dong is not in good health, his wife has no complaints or regrets, and she has worked hard to take care of her.
One night, Mr. Fang Dong was in a heart disease. He was on the spot, but he was only a junior, and he lacked medical knowledge and could not help him. The family doctor who usually checked the clinic came to take a look and sentenced him to the serious condition, saying "It's just a premature problem." Did you give the patient a shot of coffee and leave?
Only Mrs. Fang Dong was left to sob with him. Mr. Fang Dong was no longer in pain, but after a few hours, he turned into a coma. It was already 2 o'clock in the evening. He didn't know how to comfort Mrs. Fang Dong, so he had to harden his head and contact the family doctor to ask.
"He is in the end of heart failure. Didn't he tell you that he was not saved?" The sleepy doctor was a little unhappy and said nothing, so he rang the phone after saying two sentences.
He suddenly returned to Mrs. Fangdong and said that the doctor would come to see it tomorrow morning. Soon the old man was discontinued. The two of them were sleepless, so they sat next to Mr. Fangdong together and recalled Mr. Fangdong's past until dawn.
Later, he graduated from work, worked as a doctor, and started a family. He would visit Mrs. Fang every year until she died at the age of 93……
When she was predicted to die, "companionship" was the best thing a doctor could do
Returning to the scene, he comforted the shocked doctor on duty: "Is this your first time?" The young man was spotted.
"This is indeed the most difficult time for the people closest to them. They walk in front of and behind the hospital corridor, tortured by waiting, and want to seize the things that are forever lost. They need to be guided."
"As long as you sit quietly beside the dead patient, you will know that this moment is neither painful nor scary. It is just a peaceful stop of human function."
"Like a meteor, a little of the millions of light in the vast night sky, a short flash, will eventually disappear so uniquely, Let us have a limited life. ”
At such a moment, the words are too annoying.
Even if the patient was declared unsuccessful and was predicted to die, "companionship" and "silence beyond language" is the best thing a doctor can do.
Many people expressed their great emotion about the sharing of Dr. Lin Siqi, and left a message to respond, saying, "I feel good! What my family wants is really guidance in panic.", "For patients or families, companionship is the greatest comfort", "In addition to improving their medical practice, doctors also need to support their families in the psychological aspect. I think it is really difficult for doctors.", "The doctor's empathy is also a kind of indescribable comfort for patients.", "Every time I read Dr. Lin's articles, I always have involuntary slight corners of my eyes. I have a warm inheritance of medical morality. It is through my own perception that I can disperse my energy. Compassion, mercy, joy, and reluctance are the best energy photos~"
There are also doctors who leave a message and respond to "I have been an anesthesiologist in Chicago for more than 30 years. I was very moved after reading this article! The most important thing for us doctors is to have compassion. When patients are in critical condition, just pay a little attention to the patient and his family to comfort them can have a great effect!" Shi Jingzhong, a medical doctor at the National Taiwan University Hospital, also shared his experience: "Today I met a pregnant woman who had no expected death, and I can understand her feelings. As long as I can, I hope to accompany them through this checkpoint. Professor Lin's warm sharing, I think he has realized life and death, there is nothing to worry about, there is nothing to be afraid of, all he needs is company."
