"The routine of the general story is that the patient's life is on the line, the operation is thrilling, and finally it is a great success. When the patient leaves the hospital, he will thank the doctor. However, risky operations always fail, and we seem to be used to avoiding failure. " Today, we can finally talk objectively about what real medical care is like.
"Life is painful. It's good to have you."
"I was worried about the failure case at first, which will lead to incomprehension after broadcasting." This is the voice that the reporter heard in Ruijin Hospital. Fortunately, rave reviews. "I have seen too many' perfect' medical propaganda, and this angle is even more touching. Failure is also something that doctors and their families must face, and it is incomplete to talk about medical care without this topic. Life is painful, it's good to have you! "
"We have organized hundreds of rescues. We succeeded and failed. Only by understanding this kind of pain can we resolutely protect the last acre of land in our hearts. Doctors are people, not gods. "
Many medical staff type these words in the circle of friends. Someone commented, "Dare to face the failure of peace talks, which in itself is a kind of progress. Dare to face the truth, itself is a kind of sublimation. Carrying forward the truth and rebuilding honesty is one of the missions of intellectuals in this era. " The vast majority of people said that they understood the doctor's hard work and helplessness after reading it.
"I will do my best in my lifetime."
Doctors will be annoyed and uncomfortable when they meet hopeless patients. The success on the operating table will make the doctor extremely happy. Rescue is always a race against time, and it is common for doctors to cover the life-saving plasma from the blood bank with their hands. There will be scenes where the operation is still going on, but the family members have rushed in and grabbed the doctor's neck. ...
It is not objective to say that any doctor has never faced failure. A professor from a 3A hospital told a reporter a case that impressed him the most. At that time, he was still a young resident, and he was in the emergency room at night. A seriously wounded man came, in his twenties, and the operation lasted until two or three in the morning. After seeing the patient, there was no problem and I slept exhausted. The next day, the patient was observed, the skin flap turned white, the blood circulation could not go up, and the patient was in hemorrhagic shock. Many first-aid measures were taken, but none of them were saved.
"The patient died and I lost." The professor talked about his feelings at that time. Maybe the details of the operation were better handled, maybe the patient was observed more carefully after the operation, maybe the patient changed like this ... the young resident collapsed. Then an old doctor let him out. "The revolution was sacrificed. You can't have major surgery when you are young. When you grow up, the cost is deeper. " After that, no matter how late the operation was finished in the morning, the young doctor stayed with the patient to observe the situation. This is a test of physical strength and willpower, but he just never gives up and does not allow any mistakes in his own links.
There is a particularly good sentence in "Life of Man": "The hardest thing for a doctor is not to face failure. The hardest thing is to face all kinds of setbacks caused by these failures without losing the initial enthusiasm. " Zhao Qiang, director of cardiac surgery at Ruijin Hospital, is an example of this sentence. In the first episode, he first treated Wang Bin, a 27-year-old patient with Marfan syndrome, a congenital disease called "death pronoun". The patient's aorta will tear at any moment, and he died of massive bleeding. Most patients don't live past 30. In order to save him, we have to replace the aorta of the whole body with an artificial blood vessel, which is equivalent to "half a person has to cut it", which is a major operation. Zhao Qiang had an operation. Zhao Qiang is going to operate on Marfan syndrome, which is a major operation in cardiac surgery. All the aorta in the patient's body should be replaced with artificial blood vessels. Unfortunately, the day after the operation, Wang Bin suffered from acute renal failure and did not survive.
Soon, another Marfan syndrome patient, Jing Liu, came to Ruijin Hospital. Zhao Qiang, who just experienced a failure, didn't reject the family. He didn't care too much about the blow of the second failure and the impact on his reputation. "The girl's father and brother died suddenly because of Marfan's syndrome. If I don't operate on him, her life may be terminated at any time. The day after the broadcast of Life on Earth, the reporter met Zhao Qiang. When recalling this case, he said two words: "If you don't succeed, you will die, and you will not consider fame and fortune. The patient comes first." Every case is different, and there are no identical cases.
After 32 hours of surgery and the cooperation of 9 doctors, Jing Liu was discharged alive this time.
Zhao Qiang said, I hope that through this documentary, everyone will know that every patient and every doctor will try their best to treat him, but we must also understand that there are always some places that cannot be achieved by medicine. "I will do my best in my lifetime." We should have such trust and belief in doctors.
A respected old academician in the medical field once said that if all diseases can be saved, that person will not die, but won't he die? Therefore, life is unbearable pain, whether you admit it or not. Then why are we talking about failure? Is it just to be convinced and defeated by failure? No. When we talk about cases of failure, we are actually talking about experiencing grief and regaining hope.
This is medicine: every time it is actual combat, there is no exercise!
