Oncology Physician Life

Chapter 78 Chapter 77
Although Sun Jiao complained about Jiang Li to the medical office, the emergency department still followed Jiang Li's treatment and did not transfer Sun Jiao's son to the ICU. The short but splendid life of the child saves him from suffering more.

Angry, Sun Jiao posted the video she shot on the Internet.

Female oncology doctors disregard life, such a cold topic quickly aroused bad public opinion on the Internet.

People who don't know the truth on the Internet follow the crowd and follow what others say. Soon some people picked up Jiang Li's photos and attacked her online and personally.

The female doctor in the tumor hospital actually refused to save the patient, and asked the patient's mother to give up her child and die!
The words "female doctor disregards life and quack doctor harms people" soon and frequently appeared on various short video websites, causing considerable controversy.

In the oncology doctor's office.

Just finished the ward rounds, several interns gathered together, Yang Xiaolan looked at the computer screen, Sun Jiao maliciously edited the video, many people below were scolding Jiang Li.

Yang Xiaolan couldn't help being angry: "Who are these people! They don't understand what happened, so they just follow suit, follow the rhythm, and even curse!"

Shu Yusheng glanced at the video, with no expression on his face: "Do your job well and don't worry about it too much. This matter is no longer something we interns can participate in!"

Tan Tan sat down with a coffee cup, and asked: "When Dean Li introduced Professor Jiang, the chief director was quite critical of this matter. Now that Professor Jiang has shared such a thing, the chief director... ..."

Yang Xiaolan looked at the crowd and raised her head: "I don't think Professor Jiang did anything wrong. When Sun Jiao's son was delivered, he had lost consciousness and his brain was dead. Excessive resuscitation is meaningless, not to mention that cancer cells have already infiltrated the brain and all organs. , Even with a ventilator and the illusion of life support, don’t you still have to declare death in the end? Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain. Instead of asking the child’s mother to sign a consent form to give up treatment, it is better to let the doctor make this decision!”

Shu Yusheng shook his head: "You think too well. This is China, not a foreign country. Most cancer patients or their family members are not as optimistic about life as foreigners, especially domestic patients with terminal cancer. Most of them are There is a practice of continuing life at all costs, ineffective investment in medical treatment, resulting in wasteful treatment, and the patient himself suffers a lot, and finally dies, leaving the family with no money, so in many cases, the doctor will not decide this Whether the patient wants to continue treatment or not, the decision is still in the hands of the patient and his family."

Yang Xiaolan was unconvinced: "But like this 13-year-old terminal cancer patient, his brain is dead, and he continues to over-rescue, which is just a waste of medical resources and family money. As doctors, we understand the pain of the mother who lost her child, but she should not take it too seriously. The fire is all on our doctor, right? We also want to save that child, but the current medical methods just can't save that child!"

Tan Tan put down the coffee cup in his hand: "Actually, more often than not, this kind of 'whatever it takes' in the mouths of family members is more like expressing an attitude, going all out for life and not wanting to leave regrets."

Shu Yusheng nodded, agreeing with Tan Tan's statement: "There is a movie called "The Bucket List". This movie roughly means that before people enter heaven, God will ask you two questions: Are you happy in this life? Or, have you brought happiness to others in this life? If the answer to these two questions is yes, then you can enter heaven! The greatest significance of this movie is to tell people a truth. Suffering from an incurable disease, life is counting down, what will you do, what will you think? What kind of way will you spend your precious life without regrets, and put yourself in the same position, if you are That terminal cancer patient, when your life is counting down, what you think of is definitely not lying on the hospital bed receiving painful treatment, and people looking at you with pity!"

Tan Tan sighed: "I have worked in the oncology department for so many years, and I have seen too many patients with advanced cancer and multiple organ failure. It will cause the patients to suffer great pain, but there are still many family members who ask us to do our best to rescue them, ask for intubation, external compression, and use rescue drugs. When the patient's last moment comes, some family members will still lose control of their emotions and vent their grievances and sorrows to our medical staff."

Shu Yusheng pursed his lips: "My professor at Hokkaido University, he was also an excellent oncologist, he told me when he graduated, if you decide to be an oncologist, then you will be facing an abyss every day , walking on thin ice. Therefore, this kind of situation does not only happen in China, but also in foreign countries."

Xu Youshu looked at a few people: "Professor Jiang did it out of good intentions, because he didn't want the mother to sign the consent form to give up the treatment, right? Because then, for a mother, it would be tantamount to killing her with her own hands." After losing her son, the sense of guilt and sadness will run through the rest of this 30-year-old mother's life. Hey, now I understand how much it takes for Professor Jiang to make the decision of extubation and refusing to over-rescue Courage, her heart is really like a Bodhisattva!"

Shu Yusheng shook his head: "So what about the heart of a Bodhisattva? You have the upbringing not to hurt others, but you don't have the ability to prevent others from hurting you. So, many of us doctors face this kind of situation. The best way is to listen to your family members. Yes, if the family members ask for over-rescue, they will be rescued, as long as they don’t leave any regrets and don’t bother the doctor, most of them, who cares whether the mother is sad or not when she loses her son?”

In the office of the head of the oncology department.

Liu Chong looked up at the building outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, with a serious expression on his face. He dressed his white coat as neatly as a suit, and every button was tightly stitched, giving people an invisible sense of oppression.

He watched the video on the Internet and what Jiang Li said to the family member. Although the doctor does not advocate excessive rescue, Jiang Li's too direct words are indeed inappropriate.

Qi Dahua, deputy director of the oncology department, was sitting on the sofa drinking tea, and beside him was Tao Dayong, the deputy director of the hospital.

He smiled: "It seems that our female professor who came back from Anderson is still too young and doesn't know much about the world."

Tao Dayong looked at Liu Chong's back calmly: "Actually, Professor Jiang did nothing wrong. The child with advanced cancer was brain-dead on the way there, and extubation is a normal process. Besides, the video At first glance, it was over-edited, and the mother even beat our intern, so our hospital should not be too one-sided."

Qi Dahua smiled and said: "Tao Yuan, from the first day we became doctors, we have known a truth, as doctors, we can't make decisions for the family members, whether to give up treatment or not, it is up to the family members to decide for themselves, if a doctor makes a decision for the family members Decide, isn't that tantamount to murder?"

Tao Dayong smiled: "It is human nature to love life and hate death. The oncology department is always working on the front line of death. The pressure on the doctors is already high enough. We all understand that Professor Jiang is out of kindness and can't bear to let such a young child die." , to bear so much pain at the last moment of her life, it's just that mother, she is too paranoid."

Liu Chong's rather stern voice came over: "Well-intentioned? Well-intentioned mother who asked a mother to give up her son's life? Even if she was well-intentioned, she did something bad with good intentions! Now I only know that someone posted the video on the Internet, and everyone They are all accusing our hospital of disregarding human life!"

Tao Dayong stopped talking. After this incident was fermented on the Internet, it aroused a lot of public opinion, but this is an internal matter of the oncology department. What kind of decision is made depends on the opinion of the director of the oncology department.

After all, Liu Chong is also the chief administrative director of the whole hospital, and handling such matters is within the scope of his work.

Soon, Jiang Li knocked on the office door and walked in.

Liu Chong didn't even look at her, and asked directly: "This matter has been discussed with the hospital, the medical department and the office. You are required to publicly apologize to the patient's family, and then write an in-depth examination to cancel this year. Excellent in the academy."

Jiang Li looked at Liu Chong's solemn expression, and said, "I don't think I did anything wrong, and I won't apologize."

Liu Chong gave the young female professor a hard look: "If you don't apologize, then I can only suspend you!"

Jiang Li didn't object: "As you like."

Tao Dayong hurriedly got up and acted as a peacemaker: "No way, it's such a big deal, how could it be so serious that the suspension is so serious!"

Liu Chong's face became a bit cold: "It must be suspended from her job, and she must be made to reflect deeply and realize her mistakes!"

Jiang Li smiled: "I accept this punishment, how long will I be suspended?"

"One month!"

Tao Dayong glanced at the silent Qi Dahua, the two chief directors of the oncology department, one in charge and one in the other, obviously Liu Chong had already decided to suspend Jiang Li, and Qi Dahua couldn't refute.

Liu Chong looked at the back of Jiang Li walking out of the office, and frowned: "These young people, if you don't teach her a lesson now, you will really become more and more ignorant!"

Jiang Li walked out of the oncology building in one breath, came to the garden, and took several deep breaths to calm down his irritable mood.

Wei Ran and Pei Xiaonan came over with iced Americano and mousse cake, and sat down on the flower bed.When the three of them met each other, they could tell that Jiang Li was in a bad mood.

Pei Xiaonan hugged Jiang Li: "Jiang Jiang, I know you did nothing wrong, so you don't have to feel guilty."

Wei Ran nodded heavily: "I have experienced such a thing, I understand you!"

Jiang Li looked at the encouraging smiling faces of her friends, feeling warm in her heart, she unscrewed a bottle of sparkling water, poured it down, and extinguished the fire in her heart.

"The child was only 13 years old. Even though he was brain-dead, the cancer cells spread widely, infiltrating the brain and infiltrating the bones. The pain, even if he was unconscious, made people feel miserable every moment. As the doctor who treated him, Not being able to save his life has already made me feel ashamed, but if I have other options, I will grit my teeth and stick to it, but I have no way to save his young life from the hands of death. A heart can be replaced, but in the face of cancer, I was so pale and powerless at that moment."

Jiang Li's eyes were flushed, and his mind was full of the pale face of that 13-year-old boy at the last moment of his life on the hospital bed.

"Do you know that when I made the decision to extubate, I hoped that the child could open his eyes, even if he blinked slightly, and gave me a reaction, I would grit my teeth and stick to it, but I could only deal with it in my heart." He said sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, I really tried my best!"

Pei Xiaonan hugged Jiang Li: "It's not your fault, you are already very good."

Half an hour later, Jiang Li gathered up his mood and was ready to go to the medical office to hand over his work and go home after suspending his duties.

She stood up, looked up at the dazzling sunlight in the sky, turned off her mobile phone, and didn't look at those people on the Internet who wantonly cursed and insulted herself under the video, and didn't care about everything outside.

Ji Han, who just had the operation, heard Wei Chen talk about Jiang Li's suspension when he walked out of the operating room. He hurriedly looked for Jiang Li everywhere, and turned off her cell phone when he called her, until he saw her in the corridor.

Ji Han walked over quickly, and asked cautiously, "Are you... all right?"

Jiang Li smiled at him: "What can I do, I just have a good rest for a while."

Ji Han knows Jiang Li's temperament, she is just too compassionate!
"I told you before that when you are a doctor in the oncology department, you can't empathize with the patients. You have to harden your heart! This is the oncology department, which is the red line of life. There is only life and death here, not Right or wrong!"

Jiang Li didn't want to listen to Ji Han's preaching. She stopped, looked at him, and asked, "If it was you at that time, what would you have done? When you asked the mother of a 13-year-old child to sign a consent form to give up treatment , which means that what killed her son was not the disease of cancer, but herself, her mother! It was the mother who killed her son! She was only in her 30s, and you made her live in In this kind of pain and guilt? With such a persistent personality, it is very likely that she will not be able to get out of this shadow in this life!"

Jiang Li paced back and forth: "And I am a doctor, when I announced the extubation, not only let the 13-year-old child, at the last moment of his life, pass away peacefully from this world without having to endure the pain, but also meant that , the person who let her son leave is me, my strange doctor, not her mother!"

"If you were in the emergency room at that time, when you saw Sun Jiao's mother, you would have made the same decision as I did. She was so paranoid, even if she pretended to be calm outside the emergency room, the innocent look in her eyes Help and confusion can't fool me, after all, lying there is her son whom she has loved for 13 years."

Jiang Li smiled, but his eyes were full of sadness: "I think that child will also be grateful to me, after all, I came to end his life, not his deeply loved mother, and I made this decision , not for the dead to be freed, but to leave room for the living to live!"

Jiang Li's words were like a knife, piercing into Ji Han's heart.

For mothers all over the world, choosing to give up their son's life with their own hands is like a knife piercing into the mother's heart forever.

For the rest of her life, this mother will live with this knife.

Therefore, her decision is not for the sake of liberating the dead, but to leave room for the living to live!
When Jiang Li was released, her heart became empty, but she felt much better. She looked at Ji Han: "Old Ji, our profession as a doctor is more about healing the hearts of the patients' families than saving people, isn't it?"

When Ji Han came back to his senses, the people from Jiangli had already walked towards the medical office.

At this moment, Ji Han looked at Jiang Li who was being pointed at by the crowd along the way, not only did he not feel ashamed, but instead felt a surge of pride in his heart.

Jiang Li, she is a real oncologist.

She has a kind heart.

But in this giant white tower, the storm will never subside.

The positions of family members and doctors are like two parallel lines that will never intersect.

In this world, no one can truly empathize.

That mother would not understand the true meaning of Jiang Li's actions, and was grateful to her.

She will only take all the grievances on her.

But Jiang Li himself has a clear conscience.
