What are the intentions of patients who insist that it can’t be done?
"I won't do surgery anymore."
The moment these words landed in the ward, there was undoubtedly a heavy, banging sound.
Director Fang wanted to sit on the ground on the spot.
The patient's children's faces were as white as snow, and they looked as if they were about to die together.
No surgery? The patient’s situation cannot be without surgery. This patient chose the path of death, right?
The doctors had serious expressions and frowned.
The venomous Mr. Zhang stopped talking.
This situation is actually not uncommon clinically.
Not every patient will choose to have surgery. Sometimes it is not because of medical expenses at all, but purely because of other concerns. Problems that can be solved with money are never big problems. The most difficult problems are those that cannot be solved with money. Rich people
Don’t even think that money can solve all problems.
What is the reason why the patient is unwilling to undergo surgery? Does he really want to die?
Definitely not. Who doesn't want to live if they can live? They must be forced by something to not want to live this way.
For example, the patient in front of me is lying on the hospital bed sucking oxygen, breathing hard, talking and wheezing. His face is thin, he has been malnourished for a long time, and he has been suffering from the disease for many years. His spirit has been almost destroyed by the disease, and his eyes have long been dim.
It is conceivable that this patient thought that if he was subjected to a major knife again, he might as well die.
"You don't have to be too pessimistic." Director Fang cheered himself up and comforted his old friend, "Small incision surgery is also a minimally invasive surgery."
"You don't have to lie to me," the patient said.
This patient is knowledgeable and educated. He has sought medical treatment many times and obtained enough medical information from various channels. He not only listened to doctors but also to patients, and has witnessed clinical cases with his own eyes. It is really not something that a doctor can fool with just a few words.
. No wonder Director Fang said from the beginning that this old friend was "stubborn" and needed a professional to do the work himself.
The so-called small incision surgery requires at least an incision of more than six centimeters in front of the left chest. Small incision surgery for four-branch disease also requires splitting the lower sternum, otherwise the doctor's hands cannot reach the right crown to perform the right crown surgery.
"He usually coughs for a long time and has pain in his ribs and sternum, so he has concerns about this." Xie Wanying said.
A characteristic of patients with COPD is long-term coughing, which affects the ribs and sternum and suffers from aseptic inflammation. As long as the cause of COPD is not eliminated, such inflammation is difficult to cure. If the sternum is opened again, the patient can imagine that the bone will 80% hurt after the operation.
Life would be worse than death.
Some patients can tolerate it, and some patients can't tolerate it anymore. Each patient's threshold for pain is different.
"Is that so, Dad?" the patients' children asked their father.
The eyes of the patient, Mr. Li, had long been fixed on the face of the female doctor in front of him, motionless. For a moment, the patient's eyes flashed with paleness, as if he was about to shed tears.
It is not easy for patients to find doctors who understand their pain.
If he just says that he will not perform surgery, most doctors and other ordinary people will think that this patient is pretentious and willful.
Seeing this situation, a group of big guys looked at each other: Doctor Xie saw what was going on in the patient's mind and said it directly. It must be said that doctors should use technology to solve such problems, and
This is not just to accuse the patient of having a faulty character.
The essence of medical treatment is not only to treat the patient's disease but to meet the patient's physical and mental health needs and must relieve the patient's pain.
