Associate Professor of Nursing Department of the School of Medicine of Taiwan Chenggong University Zhao Keshi found that for various reasons, many people insist on requiring doctors to use their "eighteen martial arts" and continue to first aid relatives who only had the last breath, causing the patient to suffer all the pain and ended with hatred.
Zhao Keshi talked about many examples.
She said that a 73-year-old lady learned that she had breast cancer, she clearly explained her funerals and then received treatment with peace of mind. Four years later, the cancer recurs and metastasizes to the lungs, liver, brain and bones. She knew that there was not much future. She not only signed the "no first aid" letter, but also told her children and grandchildren not to disturb her on the day of her rebirth, but just chant the Buddha's name with peace of mind and send her to the Western Paradise.
Unexpectedly, before the old lady was on the verge of death, a son claimed that before the inheritance issue was settled and before the brothers and sisters reached a consensus, the doctor must not let her die, otherwise he would sue the doctor for medical negligence. The doctor had to "rescue with all his might" according to his words. After many electric shocks and external massages, the old lady was almost "smashed to pieces" before her death.
analysis: This old man is a person with good roots. If his family can chant chant on the deathbed as usual, he will definitely be able to reborn in the West. Unfortunately, because of that unfilial son, the old man was in great pain when he left. Such a struggle was like putting in trouble, which made his relatives hard to be liberated.
Another old man knew his fate. He wrote a "pre-made will" at the age of 70, hoping that his children would not intubate the cannula for him before he died and let him leave peacefully. However, when he was terminally ill and had multiple organ failure, his children were worried about being criticized by their neighbors for being unfilial. At the same time, in order to let the eldest brother living in the United States meet his father for the last time, he insisted on the doctor to save him to the end.
Doctor Zhao said that the old man was aware of his consciousness before his death and inserted more than a dozen tubes. He couldn't speak and wanted to unplug the tube several times. The nurse had to tie his hands. He kicked his feet to express his resentment. As a result, he was tied up in the ICU and lay in the ICU for two weeks, crying. In the end, the eldest son finally rushed back to Taiwan, but all the children turned their heads and closed their eyes, and refused to even look at them. In the silent protest, he took his last breath.
Analysis: We don’t know the patient’s pain at this time. All the intubation is like a steel knife to them. Respect your relatives and let them walk peacefully, okay?
Zhao Keshi said that this kind of human tragedy is not an isolated case, and hospitals across Taiwan are staged every day. A forty-two-year-old woman suffered from ovarian cancer and the cancer cells spread severely. Her husband begged the doctor to save her life. When her breathing stopped, the doctor tried to perform cardiopulmonary resuscitation on her, but first aid was ineffective. Her husband entered the ward and saw that his beloved wife's face was covered with blood, and a thick tube was inserted into her mouth, with blood in the corners of her mouth, and tears at the corners of her eyes wet the pillow towel. He said to the doctor, "What did you do to her?" When he learned that it was the result of first aid, he felt extremely regretful.
Analysis: At the time of death, the four elements are separated, like a turtle breaking out of its shell. Even a slight touch will make the deceased feel as painful as thousands of arrows piercing the heart. Such severe first aid will inevitably cause the relatives to suffer from various tortures in hell. Is hell torture the last gift you give to your relatives? Do we have the heart to bear it?
She said that this kind of human tragedy can be said to be the "four losses":
1. The patient will not have a good ending;
2. The family members feel guilty afterwards;
3. The doctors are helpless in the shadow of medical disputes, which violates the ethics of the medical community.
4. In terms of society, it is even more difficult to count the health insurance resources consumed every year. How long does this bad culture of
need to last for it to exist? It is worth pondering.
is helpless but insists on wasting resources, and cruelly makes his relatives suffer.
First of all, be compassionate to dying patients, so that they can have a peaceful and good ending, and do not be blinded by face, interests, and customs and do all kinds of ignorant behaviors... ...
The meaning of the five blessings:
The five blessings recorded in the Book of Books are:
The first is longevity, the second is wealth, the third is Kangning, the fourth is You are good at virtue, and the fifth is to test the end of life.
Longevity means not having a young life and having a long life, wealth means having a high status, health means being healthy and peaceful in the heart, good virtue means being kind by nature, generous and peaceful in the heart, and a good end means being able to know your death in advance. At the time of death, I did not suffer any sudden disasters, my body was not sick, my heart was not worried or troubled, and I left the world peacefully and freely.
