This is a movie about the famous cardiac surgeon Zbigniew Religa (Zbigniew Religa) in The Republic of Poland. Since I am not from The Republic of Poland, I can't have much emotion for this film, but during the viewing process, I still found some general problems worth thinking about, especially technology and humanity
.
Lei Lijia wanted to carry out a heart transplant operation in The Republic of Poland, but it was difficult. The focus of the film's depiction of this is not on technology, but on ethics. Therefore, in the film, Lei Lijia becomes a kind of person who challenges the rules of the game and is always not understood by others. In The Republic of Poland, the heart is a kind of "sacred relic" and heart transplantation belongs to the "fuzzy category of ethics", even though Lei Lijia’s teacher, Stokevos, who sent Lei Lijia to study abroad and aroused his ambitions Professor Ji didn't dare to get involved in this field; and the medical ethics committee was made up of a group of pedantic and old people who resisted heart transplants, and would not agree to him using people to experiment. Not only can he not get the support of professionals, he can only get "suspicion" even from ordinary people, because once a big heart problem occurs, it is a matter of life and death. In The Republic of Poland, it is a "god" problem. , How can a cardiac surgeon compete with "God"? Therefore, comforting words such as "You can't force anyone's life or death, and the heart won't listen to you" are always testing his patience and will. In addition, once the operation fails or the operation does not achieve the expected results, Lei Lijia will have to deal with accusations from the media. They believe that he is experimenting with human lives in order to be "famous", and even the government directly issued an order to him not to be repeated. The notice of the experiment: "Lei Lijia, you are not God, don't continue to kill, your ambition has blinded your conscience." The official order is full of such strong ethical condemnation, it is conceivable that Lei Lijia carried out How stressful is the heart transplant operation
?
Although difficult, he is not alone. He has a good team, loyal teammates, and Professor Jane Moore, the pioneer of heart transplant surgery in The Republic of Poland. Amid the condemnation of "the rain is coming and the wind is all over the building", Professor Moore publicly supported him in the media: "If you don't move forward with the courage to innovate, you can only stand still." Although such support is precious, But it can't solve Lei Lijia's real problem. The biggest difficulty or pain Lei Lijia encountered was that he had to endure the torture of patients who died under his scalpel. Although "people who subvert the rules of the game can get happiness", for a doctor with a conscience, this is really not applicable, because every time he encounters an operation failure, even if it is not his fault, he will drink Get drunk too much. This is a condemnation of conscience, and every condemnation may become the source of his fear of using the knife again. Although the film does not portray this aspect of Lei Lijia, the vicious circle of fear should be reasonable
.
The person who knew this and really helped him solve this problem was still Professor Jane Moore. He only asked Lei Lijia’s question when he was dying. Perhaps Professor Moore had been waiting for him to wake up, but there was no time. Professor Moore asked him to know that the problem was there. All of Lei Lijia’s answers were technical. There are also ethical aspects, all of which were denied by him. Finally, he said: "This is about human nature. For doctors, success and failure are equally difficult. Doctors should be full of human nature." It seems that a single word awakens the dreamer, Lei Lijia I immediately went to the little girl Ivuka’s mother to apologize. Although Ivuka’s death was not his fault, and the deceased’s mother seemed to understand this, she still appreciated the belated apology, because she said, “It’s God’s freedom. Arrange it!" To relieve Lei Lijia. This is human nature. A benevolent doctor knows that only an apology can have awe of life; if there is an apology, there is forgiveness, and if there is forgiveness, the heart can be free. Sure enough, Lei Lijia's next heart transplant operation made a huge breakthrough. He successfully helped the fourth patient to survive for 7 years
.
Professor Moore pointed out the topic of "technology and human nature", which is actually a major ethical question, that is, what kind of technology is human, and how to implement it? A member of the Medical Ethics Committee seems to answer this question: “Will you be willing to do experiments on a child? I don’t know why you, a cardiologist, think you are God.” In other words, if you have God With a kind heart, you can operate this technology even if it is aimed at a child. Obviously, the technology itself is not the problem, the problem still lies with people
