Lu Liangpeng is a man who lives for his dignity. He will want to keep his final dignity, which is very natural.
However, Lu Shuying does not understand what the final dignity Lu Liangpeng said is!
The three people present, Lu Liangpeng, Lu Shuying and Chen Hui, are the only ones who don't know what the "final dignity" Lu Liangpeng said. As an outsider, Chen Hui knows.
In fact, it's not surprising that Lu Liangpeng's "final dignity" is expressed as a patient. As a doctor, Chen Hui naturally understands what Lu Liangpeng is talking about!
Every kind of disease will bring different sufferings to the patients. In one's life, it is inevitable that one will get all kinds of diseases, so one needs to face the sufferings brought by all kinds of diseases.
Minor illness has the pain brought by minor illness. The simplest is a cold. People with good physical fitness will get better if they take a few cold medicines. However, a cold will still bring symptoms such as stuffy nose, fever, runny nose and no spirit. These symptoms are the pain to people.
Of course, no one can't bear this kind of pain, but it's just the simplest cold. The pain caused by serious illness, especially the pain caused by incurable disease, often makes the patient desperate.
Now there is no way in the world for cancer, all kinds of cancer, the pain brought to patients, often can't help.
In the treatment, let the patient reduce, the best is not to feel the pain, so that the patient has dignity in front of the disease!
Anesthetics is the greatest invention in the world, because it not only makes patients feel no pain in the surgical treatment, but also reduces the pain of patients without cure!
Do you want to tell the truth to a terminally ill patient who really has no hope of treatment? This is the first problem that doctors and relatives of patients will encounter.
In most cases, people adopt the strategy of concealment and deception, supplemented by empty encouragement, plus the treatment method of "life extension first".
Japanese doctor Akiro Yamazaki once wrote a book called "the last dignity"!
This book describes the deathbed stories of ten terminal cancer patients with calm and rational brushwork, thus telling us the fact that it is white lies that make terminal cancer patients unable to know their true condition, so as to finish their lives in a state of fear, loneliness, helplessness and neglect.
It is the traditional concept of "life extension first", which makes the terminally ill patients bear the pain and accept all kinds of rescue measures for the purpose of prolonging their life, and finally they are tortured to death beyond recognition.
In fact, the most fear of dying patients is not death, but pain; What they need most is not the confidence and courage to fight against the disease, but the meticulous care and human dignity.
In the face of dying patients with incurable diseases, another problem that doctors encounter is whether they should make every effort to extend their lives, even if only for one minute or one second?
The answer of modern medicine is yes, and it does have the means in this respect.
However, countless medical facts have proved that it is persecuting a body without will, turning the most humane parting moment between patients and their families into a battlefield for medical staff to show their strength, and violating the final dignity of the dying.
In other words, the issue of euthanasia is still debated. When the life extension of a terminally ill patient is only a continuous pain that can not be relieved, is it allowed to use medical means to help him end his life ahead of time on the premise of the patient's willingness?
Yamazaki's view in the book is that when death is still possible to resist, doctors and patients should fight against death. When death is obviously irresistible, they should stop fighting and face death together. In this case, the patient's own task is how to spend the last time of life in a dignified way, and the doctor's task is to create conditions for this, including relieving pain physically and overcoming fear psychologically. This is the essence of hospice care.
Chen Hui agrees with this view. However, when Lu Liangpeng made this request as a patient, he still couldn't help looking at Lu Shuying, because Lu Shuying is Lu Liangpeng's family member!
Most importantly, Chen Hui and Lu Shuying are friends, and they are also familiar with Lu Liangpeng. When he faced Lu Liangpeng's request as a friend and an acquaintance, he found that he could not do what he agreed with Yamazaki Zhanglang's point of view.
As far as the current situation is concerned, Lu Liangpeng has actually done what the patient should do. He has no fear of his own death and has chosen to die with dignity instead of suffering from illness.
You know, the main symptom of the disease caused by Lu Liangpeng's old injury is dyspnea. In other words, Lu Liangpeng's final way of death will be suffocating, which is an extremely painful way of death.
What Chen Hui has to do now is also very simple, that is to relieve Lu Liangpeng's pain. Chen Hui can do this, but it will take Lu Liangpeng to pay the price again.
Lu Liangpeng is not worried. He looks at Chen Hui calmly, waiting for Chen Hui to make a choice.
Chen Hui took a deep breath and said, "I can relieve your symptoms of dyspnea, but the cost is ten days, which will shorten your remaining life again. You should think it over and answer me!"
There is no doubt that Chen Hui made his choice by saying that. He can help Lu Liangpeng to leave his final dignity. However, Lu Liangpeng needs to think about it by himself. If there is only one month left in his life, should he take out another ten days!
"To make sure I'm normal?" Lu Liangpeng asked with a smile.
"Yes, and energetic!" Chen Hui looked at Lu Liangpeng and replied.
"What about the moment of death?" Lu Liangpeng asked again.
"You won't feel anything, because it will burst out at a certain moment, in other words, you will die suddenly!" Chen Hui calmly said this answer.
"All right, let's go!" Lu Liangpeng nodded and said.
As a matter of fact, Lu Liangpeng did not ask these two questions, but he guessed almost the same answer to them. The reason why he asked this question was to prove to Chen Hui that he really thought it over and hoped that Chen Hui would not hesitate any more.
Hearing Lu Liangpeng's words, Chen Hui nodded and took out his silver needle and alcohol for disinfection!
"Chen Hui, what are you going to do?" Lu Shuying snapped!
