My family was hospitalized, and I went to the hospital to accompany him. Although I have been working in the hospital for more than 20 years, I was a patient 20 years ago when I gave birth to a child at Longfeng Health Center. At that time, I was the director of the obstetrics and gynecology department of this health center. I lived in my own hospital for surgery and received I received a lot of care from my colleagues, and I didn’t feel like a patient after cesarean section. I felt like I was the owner here. Today, I have some feelings again not as a doctor, but as a patient's caregiver.
I felt very familiar when I came to the hospital, because this general hospital was also the place where I had fought for several years. After checking the health code and itinerary code at the door, and taking my temperature, I was allowed to enter the hospital gate. Entering the inpatient department is more difficult than entering the outpatient department. If you are a patient, you must see his wristband with his basic information on it. And if you are accompanying someone, you must see the accompanying certificate. The hospital held a meeting today to study and decided that patients and attendants can freely enter and exit the inpatient building. In the past, they could only enter but not exit.
Therefore, even if there is a physical condition that requires hospitalization, many people are reluctant not to go to the hospital, because once they go in, it is like going to jail. In addition to going to other areas for auxiliary examinations, such as color ultrasound , CT, MRI, etc., the rest of the time is in the hospital. It's really boring to move around in the ward without being able to go anywhere.
Especially the escort, who is already in good health, but is restricted to a small area and cannot move freely, so it is even more frustrating. It's so troublesome to stay in a hospital. Many people simply don't stay in the hospital, and the number of inpatients in the hospital has dropped sharply. I remember when I used to work here, the corridors were full of patients, but now there are actually empty beds in the wards. However, now that the policy has been relaxed, patients and caregivers can move within a certain range, and it is estimated that patients will be willing to be hospitalized.
My family lives in this four-person ward, and there is an empty bed in it. There are currently three patients living in it. The ward seems relatively spacious, and patients can rest quite comfortably in it.
One of the patients is 66 years old. He had a laparoscopic total cystectomy + in situ bladder reconstruction for " bladder cancer " a few months ago. The operation went well and he recovered well after the operation. , maybe because the weather was too hot during this period, or because of the water, the hole of the fistula became infected one month later, resulting in lower abdominal infection, so he was hospitalized again for anti-infective treatment.
If you are an ordinary person, facing cancer and facing complications after surgery, would have been disheartened. However, this old man who retired from the public security system is in good spirits and always has a smile on his face. There is always hope in the eyes. There was a urine bag stuck in his abdomen for a long time, but he didn't care at all, saying that he was used to it and felt good about it. The old man's wife had been walking with him and talking to him softly.
The old man's illness made his life painful, and he had to endure pain that is unbearable for ordinary people, but his lover's true love made him unable to give up; although illness made his life very humble, he originally took care of others, but in turn needed the care of others. , but there are more good things that he can't let go of, especially the love of his family. Therefore, they chose to persevere and fight together with their families.
In fact, the family members suffer far more than the patients, because the patients suffer physical pain, while the family members suffer spiritual pain. When the patient is sick, he can lie down on the bed and close his eyes, but the family members have to rack their brains to find a way, run around, find a doctor, and find a cure. I am very depressed, and I have to face patients who are even more depressed, and I have to do a good job of psychological counseling for the patients.
However, the family members give infinite strength to the patients. The calmness and calmness of the family members are comparable to elixirs. The indescribable strength of their hearts tells the patient that he is not fighting alone. Although the patient seems to be fighting alone in the body, the family members give the patient endless strength and confidence.
Life is just living, no matter happiness or misfortune, we need to experience and face it.Even if life is very difficult and painful, you still have to work hard to live. Life is so long and the future is so far away. Maybe one day the hardships will be over and the happiness will come? Even if you get the disease, you have a high chance of recovery. Nowadays, if cancer is in its early stage, most of it can be cured. Only by living can life be meaningful and there is hope of surviving a desperate situation. In a limited life, whether you are sick or healthy, working hard to live is the greatest luck and the greatest courage.
I really like a sentence in "To Live": "It's better to be normal as a human being. Fighting for this and that, and fighting over and over will cost you your own life. Like me, the more I mess around, the less promising I am, but my life is long, I Everyone I know is dying one by one, but I am still alive. "
In this life, the most precious thing is life, and the best thing is health. In the face of life, money is worthless, and in the face of health, everything is useless. Money can't buy health either. There was a teacher whose lover was very rich. He spent a lot of money but could not get good health. He died young a few years ago and left an inheritance of tens of millions to the teacher. However, everything is gone when he is gone. Well, what's the point of asking for so much money?
Regardless of whether you are rich or not, whether you are an official or a commoner, whether you are a celebrity or an ordinary person, everyone is equal in the face of disease. As long as the disease can be cured and as long as life is still there, you can have the opportunity to spend money to enjoy it. If there is no life, everything you have becomes zero. It is indeed ridiculous to care about future careers, fair treatment, and other people's opinions. We cannot live forever in this life, but living healthily, living relaxedly, with the company of family and a peaceful mind is what counts. true happiness.
