Everyone pricked up their ears.
Liu Hai, a famous professor, has outstanding achievements in the field of stroke. He is one of the earliest experts in the country to use minimally invasive puncture of hematoma. He has successfully rescued patients with spinal cord and combined cerebral hemorrhage, and has also made significant contributions to the intervention of cerebral hemangioma.
Character.
He is the deputy editor-in-chief of the 7th edition of the 8-year medical clinical textbook.
He represents the highest level of the Department of Neurology of Xiangya Hospital.
He is going to report on the results of Xiangya Hospital.
"We also used craniectomy to treat brainstem hemorrhage. Last year, we performed a total of 345 cases, with a success rate of 44%. However, we do not think this is a great result, because if this treatment is purely from
In terms of survival rate, it is indeed a great achievement, but in terms of quality of life, it is very meaningless." Liu Hai said.
Everyone can tell that the sequelae of this treatment are so great that the patient is basically in a semi-vegetative state.
Bedridden for a long time, the patient is half awake and half asleep, defecates in bed, needs to be fed when eating, and even needs nasogastric feeding...
What is the significance of such a treatment effect?
"We are really conflicted. The 44% success rate is indeed a great achievement, but creating so many disabled patients will bring so much trouble to families and society. Professor Xue, let me tell you
, we are not complacent at all about this achievement."
Liu Hai's words were like poison gas bombs, making Professor Xue breathless.
Everyone nodded, feeling that this achievement was really not worth showing off.
Liu Hai smiled and said: "Dr. Liu's minimally invasive puncture technology is an epoch-making technology. He has brought hope to patients with brainstem puncture."
Professor Xue made a sound in his throat. He was shocked by Liu Hai's data and awakened by the truth Liu Hai said.
Some units and some people do scientific research for the sake of scientific research, but rarely consider the application of the results.
For example, craniectomy for brainstem hemorrhage is meaningful in terms of saving lives, but the lives saved are painful, which has different ethical opinions.
Professor Xue hesitated for a while, then felt that he could not afford to lose face, so he said loudly: "As a life, no matter how bad this life is, we should also extend their life span. For example, euthanasia, this is very specific, why
If most countries don’t practice euthanasia, isn’t it because they respect life? Isn’t it because they want to prolong life as much as possible?”
"So, you think your research is valuable?" Liu Hai asked.
"Yes, I think it is valuable." Professor Xue said in a loud voice.
Everyone looked at him.
Having a loud voice is not a sign of confidence. On the contrary, sometimes being aggressive just proves a guilty conscience.
This may be the case for Professor Xue.
Liu Hai smiled and said: "This is different from euthanasia. They are two different concepts. We do not choose to end the patient's life. We are passive. When the patient's disease has developed to this stage, we have no right to use medical technology to end the patient's life."
Life. Cranectomy treatment for brainstem hemorrhage actually interferes with the process of the disease and artificially creates a remnant of life. This extension of life is technical, artificial, and deliberate, and is completely different from not practicing euthanasia."

Professor Xue's voice became louder and said: "I don't think there is any difference, they are all about prolonging life. People come into this world only once, so we have the responsibility to let the patient live one more minute. Not practicing euthanasia is the biggest evidence.
”
Liu Hai said: "With the progress of society, one day, perhaps, all countries in the world will suddenly regard euthanasia as a normal thing. In fact, I am a supporter of euthanasia. We have seen too many patients suffering.
They are living on earth, but they cannot wish to die and are struggling in extreme pain. At this time, I would like to appeal to respect the patient's choice! Let them be relieved of pain as soon as possible!"
"Well, Professor Liu Hai is right, we should seriously consider the issue of euthanasia."
"Yes, this is humane. I support euthanasia."
"When we come to this world, we have no chance to choose. In fact, when we leave, we also have no chance to choose. How great it would be if people could freely choose to come and go!"
……
"Now is not the time to discuss euthanasia!" Professor Xue suddenly found that he was very isolated, as if no one except himself was opposed to euthanasia.
At this time, Deputy Director Hu waved his hand and said: "That's right, we are not discussing euthanasia now. This issue is too serious and too complicated, especially on legal issues. Euthanasia is very difficult to carry out. We still discuss Dean Xiao's
Be sick."
Professor Xue suddenly found a straw.
"Haha, Professor Liu Hai, let me ask you, Dean Xiao, do you think treatment or no treatment is better? According to your logic just now, treating Dean Xiao is to interfere with the course of his disease, which will bring trouble to the family, society, and patients.
It will bring pain. If we save Dean Xiao, then he will be worse off than dead and unable to die, right? So, Director Hu, according to Professor Liu Hai's theory, we should give up rescuing Dean Xiao.
Right?"
After finishing speaking, Professor Xue glanced at everyone proudly, and when he saw Liu Miqiao, he paused a few more times.
There was no wave on Liu Muqiao's face. He seemed to be staring at the air in a daze.
Liu Hai smiled and said: "First of all, I want to correct Professor Xue's opinion on my point just now. I have to state that we have not given up on rescuing patients with brainstem hemorrhage, and we have also done a lot of research and achieved results.
It's not worse than other hospitals like yours. As for the rescue of Dean Xiao, there is no doubt that we must actively rescue him, and our goal is not only to keep him alive, but also to let him stand up again.
,Even, we hope that he can continue to work."
Professor Xue suppressed his smile and said harshly: "The question is, do you think you can do it? Can you make Dean Xiao stand up? Can you continue to work? Medicine is not just about shouting slogans, it is also
It’s not enough to just express your opinion, it depends on the actual results. Tell me, Professor Liu Hai, does what I say make sense?”
Liu Hai did not panic. In fact, if Dean Xiao put it in his hands for treatment, there would be no other way except bone flap removal. As for the effect, it would definitely not be good.
Professor Liu Hai said: "I really can't make Dean Xiao stand up, but someone can."
Professor Xue said: "You must be talking about Dr. Liu Miqiao, right?"
"Yes, it's Dr. Liu."
"Really? Dr. Liu, are you that powerful?"
When Liu Muqiao heard Professor Xue mentioning himself, he was not polite and said: "Of course I am here for this goal. I want to make Dean Xiao stand up again, and I also want him to be able to work again."<
