A few days ago, watching "Meet Tuesday" in a sleepy Starbucks with heating, the preface said that most people are caught in the tedious medical procedures before they die. I take it for granted.
The ever-evolving level of medical care has given us a false sense of fluke in the face of death. Many Miracles make us think we can live a hundred years with persistence. More often, family members copy their own ideas to patients without hesitation. We thought that the other party was willing to constantly fight against the cold medical equipment, maybe the other party just wanted us to sit down and accompany them to look at the photo album and talk and chat warmly.
I once went to the hospital to visit a neighbor uncle who had cancer. The old neighbor, who seemed to be very spirited a few weeks ago, was lying on the hospital bed with a needle inserted, unable to speak at all.
I took my aunt's hand and said, I'm sorry. Auntie turned her head, looked out the window and said, it's useless, he wants to go home, we will go back in a few days.
Is it irresponsible to suspend treatment and return to Shanmingshuijing's hometown? Is it due diligence to see a family member full of test tubes stop their heartbeats during the doctor's scrambling rescue?
Perhaps the most important thing is to hear what the patient wants to do most? It is often not the patients who do not let go and move forward, but ourselves.
We are busy using the survival rules of the adult world to save lives, but it is Anna who can really stop and listen to Kate. Kate knows that she will not live long after the kidney replacement, she doesn't want to struggle anymore, she wants to be part of the blue sky.
If I have an incurable disease, I want to spend my last time with the person I love the most on the sunny beach. I don't want to lie in a ward full of the smell of disinfectant, listening to nervous footsteps and watching relatives who are forced to smile.
Let it go, not not to fight, but the best farewell.
"End your trip with satisfaction, like an olive that falls when it is ripe, grateful for the nature that gave it, and for the tree on which it was born."
