 Is this Li’s passive skill?

Li Ang had a strange expression. After Li Leling sat down at the back of the classroom, he coughed lightly, glanced at all the students, frowned slightly, and asked Qiu Feng beside him softly: "Why isn't Ouyang Shi here?"

Ouyang Shi is a girl of Western descent, and her grades have always been among the top in the grade.

"She took two days of sick leave, but today is the third day."

Qiu Feng replied in a low voice: "Shall we go to her house to ask after class is over?"

"Yeah."

Li Ang nodded, ended the conversation, and said to the students in the audience: "Let's start class now, turn your books to page 109..."

This class is an anatomy practice class, and an experimental rabbit must be dissected. But before that, Li Ang picked up the chalk and wrote the words "Medical Ethics" on the blackboard.

"Who can tell me, what is the origin of the 'man in the apricot forest' used by doctors in the world to introduce themselves?"

He turned around, put down the chalk, and asked calmly.

The students raised their arms one after another, and Li Ang randomly clicked on one of them to answer the question.

"Ahem, the man in the apricot forest is a reference to Dong Feng, a Taoist doctor from Fujian during the Three Kingdoms period. According to the "Biography of Immortals", Dong Feng lived in the mountains and treated people. He did not charge money, but let people get seriously ill and be cured by him.

For good patients, plant five apricot trees on the hillside.

For those who have recovered from mild illness, plant an apricot sapling.

Over the past few years, tens of thousands of apricot trees have been obtained, forming an apricot forest.

Dong Feng also posted a notice outside the apricot grove. People who came to buy apricots did not need to report. If they left a bushel of millet, they could pick a bushel of apricots by themselves. He exchanged the millet for the apricots to help the poor and sick people.

Doctors in the world respected his medical skills and ethics, and from then on he became a man in the apricot forest."

"Yes, please sit down."

Li Ang nodded and asked the boy who answered the question to sit down. "Dr. Dong Feng's medical ethics is admirable. He has been the object of admiration for all doctors for hundreds of years.

But there is always a gap between reality and ideals. Especially with the current reform of wards, future doctors (including you) will inevitably face more challenges.

This challenge is not only about medical skills, physical fitness, knowledge reserves, innovation and change, but also ethics."

Li Ang paused for a moment, "For example, a patient is plagued by all kinds of diseases and spends most of his life seeking medical advice. Even so, his body is still deteriorating and he lives in unbearable pain all day long.
Existing medical methods cannot cure his disease.

He soon became paralyzed in bed, unable to move. Finally, he sincerely begged the doctor to feed him a quick, painless poison and end his life.

If that doctor were you, would you choose to feed him poison?"

Li Ang looked around the classroom. Many students were frowning and thinking silently.

Qiu Feng and Li Leling also frowned in thought.

"If no one raises their hand, I will randomly click on it."

Li Ang smiled slightly and raised his chin slightly, "Gu Xingming, you answer."

A frail young man stood up, rubbed his palms, and asked cautiously: "Teacher Li Ang, do you need to consider Yu Lv for this issue?"

Li Ang smiled and said: "Haha, no need. The patient and you are in a closed room, and no one knows what is going on inside. And the patient has no family members or friends. No matter what the cause of death, it will not attract official investigation.

."

The young man thought for a while and replied: "Then I will make a device to put the poison in a glass bottle and connect it to the patient's mouth through a hose with a switch.

Tell him how this device works.

If the patient wants to die, he can turn on the switch at the end of the hose with his tongue and drink the poison himself.

In this way, I will not be put in a murderous situation, but I will also be able to avoid possible legal punishment."

"Ha, you kid."

Li Ang smiled and said: "Let me add another condition. The day after the patient asked you to feed him poison, all parts of his body, including his tongue, were paralyzed, and he was unable to give you any hints.
Or, the patient is suffering from illness all the time and has a clear will to die, but his wife is firmly opposed to it.

In this case, will you help him?"

"I..."

The young man opened his mouth, "Yes, or not?"

"Please take a seat."

Li Ang waved his hand and told the students to sit down, "When you take up your posts, you will face various moral dilemmas every day and every month.

Two patients were pushed into the emergency room at the same time. One was a well-established, well-known person who had made contributions to the Yu State, but he was old and in critical condition. The other was young. As a doctor, he only had

Can give first aid treatment to one of them;

Or, for a newlywed couple, one of whom has a serious infectious disease, and the doctor has this information, should he inform the other party when he asks?

Or, when patients come to the hospital for medical treatment, they always hope to be treated by experienced doctors, but young doctors must accumulate experience through long-term practice;

Or, your colleague is a highly skilled doctor who made a low-level mistake during an operation, causing the patient to die from surgical complications.

You can choose to report him, and the consequence will be that he is likely to be ruined and will no longer be able to work as a doctor.

You can also choose to help conceal the truth, and the consequence will be that he continues to work as a doctor and saves hundreds of other patients - but the family members of the deceased patient will never know the cause of death."

Li Ang said seriously, "More and more complex contradictions will run through your medical career, like ants moving mountains, consuming your enthusiasm, fighting spirit, and ideals.

Some of you may maintain your enthusiasm and adhere to your ideals;

Some people will gradually become numb and regard themselves as mere carriers of medical skills;

Some people will use medical skills to make money, and within the scope permitted by Yu Law, they will use medical skills to seek benefits for themselves;

I can't tell you what the standard answer is. In other words, there is no absolutely unified standard answer to these questions that can be practiced for thousands of years.

I just want to make one point - put people first and respect life."

Li Ang looked at the students in the audience who were either confused or thinking, and sighed softly in his heart.

He admits that he is by no means a saint and cannot devote himself wholeheartedly to the great cause of saving others like those benevolent doctors in history books.

However, the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. Whether he is willing or not, he has already represented the image of the Imperial Medical Office and has the power to cultivate the medical system of Yu State.

You can only do good deeds and don’t worry about your future.

Li Ang turned his head and glanced at Qiu Feng, who immediately understood and walked out of the classroom. After a while, he pushed in a small cart filled with rabbits.
