Doctor Song, are you married?

Chapter 122 122. It is important to be alive, but what about dignity?

Director Ju, a man who underwent perianal abscess surgery, a man who endured tearing pain and changed dressings twice a day without shedding a single tear, at this moment, his eye sockets are indeed moist.

He sniffled and looked up at the roof of the ward with his eyes at 45 degrees: "We are doctors, and it is our duty to treat the sick and save the sick."

"I know that you have a mission to save people, but I also want to leave with dignity. Don't worry, I won't embarrass you. I will let my daughter come and sign."

At this moment, Song Qi suddenly understood that in the hospital, many times it seems to be a choice between life and death, but more often, there is actually a choice between life and dignity.

Living is important, but what about dignity?

Song Qi is a doctor, and he felt that he could not answer this question.

When the scene was full of sighs, a young girl rushed over crying, "Mom, why are you doing this?"

Zhou Hong stretched out her hand and stroked her daughter's head: "My precious daughter, do you still remember how your mother danced? Isn't it so beautiful? Wait a minute, will my mother dance for you again?"

Ju Dachuan's tears finally burst out. He stretched out his hand, wiped his eyes fiercely, and said to everyone, "Everyone go out first."

Everyone left the room silently.

After a while, soft singing and the low sobbing of girls came from the ward.

Half an hour later, the girl with swollen eyes came out. "Doctor, I sign to give up the rescue, but please let my mother leave without pain, okay?"

Ju Dachuan opened his mouth.He has a lot to say, for example, life is the most precious thing in man, and man has only one life.
He said these words in front of countless patients and their families.

But at this moment, he couldn't say a word.

Medical treatment is completely meaningless to Zhou Hong!

Gastric lavage, cathartics, diuretics in the early stage, and ventilator in the later stage.

These treatments are painful, but even so, death is almost a fait accompli, just one day sooner or later.

When Ju Dachuan was a resident doctor, there was a popular saying at that time, if you can save a patient who was poisoned by paraquat, it would be enough for you to brag for the rest of your life.

As for Zhou Hong, who drank most of the bottle, she had no desire to survive at all and wanted to die.
After struggling for a long time, Ju Dachuan handed over the medical records.

The girl took the pen, without hesitation, wrote a line at the bottom of the informed consent form: voluntarily give up all rescue, and bear the consequences at your own risk.

"Doctor, how long is my mother left?" After signing, the girl's whole body seemed to be emptied, and she staggered a bit, Song Qi quickly reached out to support her.

"If no rescue measures are taken, it will take up to 72 hours. However, she will be very painful later. After one or two hours, her mouth and throat will ulcerate, abdominal pain, and then her lungs and kidneys will fail." Ju Dachuan struggled talking.

After practicing medicine for so many years, Ju Dachuan has experienced several cases of paraquat poisoning patients, and he still remembers the pain before his death.

"Then can I make a small request, when my mother is in pain, you give her a shot." The girl asked painfully.

Ju Dachuan shook his head, "In our country, euthanasia is illegal."

The girl began to sob softly again.

"However, at the last moment of her life, we can let her leave with dignity and less pain as much as possible," Song Qi couldn't help but said.

During the internship, Song Qi stayed in the hospice ward for a while.

The so-called hospice ward refers to some patients whose life cycle is only three to six months after the evaluation by professional doctors. After careful consideration, these family members sign an agreement with the hospital after careful consideration and fully respect the wishes of the patients, and do not rely on invasive procedures. Intubation and other methods of treatment prolong the patient's life, and it is not a kind of care that artificially shortens the patient's life.Let the patient leave in peace, dignity and dignity.

"Doctor, is it really okay?" The girl stopped crying and looked up at Song Qi.

Song Qi knew that he might be reckless again, he glanced at Director Ju: "I used to stay in the hospice ward of the People's Hospital."

Ju Dachuan nodded, "Then you will be responsible."

"Thank you, director, thank you doctor!" The girl bowed deeply to the two of them, then wiped away her tears, managed to force a smile, turned and returned to the ward.

"Xiao Song, you just have too many things to do. You should take care of what you shouldn't take care of, and you should intervene. If you do this, you will hurt yourself. Hey! That's all, I won't say more, My career is very long, I just want to remind you, and you can experience the rest by yourself, but, there is one point, let me emphasize again, inform more and sign more.”

After all, Director Ju is a rational person. He has been a doctor for many years. He has seen all kinds of doctor-patient relationships.
Zhou Hong is indeed worthy of sympathy, but behind the sympathy is still the support of the doctor-patient relationship, so the doctor must do it, be sympathetic, but not overflowing with sympathy.
Song Qi nodded, he knew that Director Ju was doing it for his own good!
He is indeed a doctor with a lot of things, but if he is asked to stand by and watch, he seems to be even more unable to do so.

"It can't be done, it can't be done, my ass is starting to hurt again, I have to lie down on the bed for a while, you can change my medicine when you have time"

In desperation just now, Director Ju put on a white coat and rushed into the ward, completely forgetting that he was also a patient. Now that he has calmed down, he felt the burning pain in his buttocks.
"Okay, Director, you can rest at ease, nothing will go wrong"

Song Qi quickly reassured the director.

Another patient in bed 24 has been moved out, and Zhou Hong is the only one in the whole room now.

With the consent of the head nurse, Song Qi asked Zhou Hong's daughter to simply decorate the ward.

Song Qi wasn't idle either. Palliative care didn't mean that he didn't do any treatment and let the patient's condition worsen. He needed to do some relieving treatment for the patient's symptoms. For example, for the upcoming mouth and throat ulcers, he would To prepare some relieving treatment for him, as well as abdominal pain and dyspnea, he needs to predict in advance and then give symptomatic drugs.

In addition to these, Zhou Hong is also a patient with a stoma after radical surgery for colorectal cancer, and the care of the stoma is also very important.Therefore, Song Qi asked the head nurse to give her stoma a caring care. In order to make her stoma not so dazzling, she deliberately changed the stoma plug.

After some nursing, although Zhou Hong's complexion was still a little ugly, she no longer looked like a patient.

At eight o'clock in the evening, Zhou Hong changed into a white dance dress, and under the witness of doctors and nurses, she danced the last dance in her life.

She dances gracefully with a light gait and a confident smile on her face.If it weren't for such a special scene, it would be difficult for everyone to connect her with a patient wearing an ostomy bag.

Such a confident and satisfied smile had not appeared on her face for a long time.

　These two chapters may be somewhat controversial. When I wrote these two chapters on the topic of living and living with dignity, I happened to go to the hospice ward for a week, and all kinds of emotions were mixed. What do you think about this issue? Woolen cloth?
