Empathy

I evaluate this movie based on my personal experience. The thing is like this. When I was young, I had viral encephalitis. But then healed. Still like normal people, even smarter than other children. The doctor marveled that there were no sequelae. But when I was four years old, a turning point happened. One day I suddenly became scared and wanted someone to hold me. I call it the feeling of fear. At first, because I only had an attack once a month, I asked the doctor, and the doctor said it was a sequelae, which was not a big deal. So parents don't take it too much. I didn't care too much because there were too few seizures. In addition, I didn't have my own thoughts when I was young, so I just listened to my parents.
So I still live a carefree life. The turnaround happened for the second time. I fainted once in the third grade. Before fainting, there was a sense of fear. Later, because my parents learned that I had a feeling of fear before fainting, the parents felt that my fainting was related to the feeling of fear, so they began to pay attention to it. And because that episode was so big, just like Anna in the movie suddenly became ill, everyone paid attention to it. So my parents dispensed me with medicine, and they knew that my illness was epilepsy. They told a white lie, and they didn't want to worry me, saying that it was a calcium tablet that was good for my health. I am very concerned about the body, so I ate happily. By the fifth grade, I gradually became a boy who thought by myself. My parents also felt that they should tell me and let me face this reality bravely. My parents told me that this is not a calcium tablet, but a medicine to slow my onset, so I gradually became aware of these medicines. At first, I only took one medicine, which seemed to be effective, but it was useless after a while. So I added a second medicine, which seemed to be particularly suitable for me, and I never had an attack. I am in a very good mood and I am very happy. But the side effects of the medicine are so great that I can't live a normal life. So we changed another medicine. The medicine was effective at first, but later it became ineffective. By January 2015, my illness suddenly became severe. I am very worried. The illness is getting worse and worse, I am no longer the carefree child, and worry a lot. We immediately consulted a Chinese doctor. The doctor said, don’t worry too much, the lesion has been shrinking and will not get worse. Now I feel this way because the child is developing, and it will be better if it stops growing at the age of 18. At this time, my original feeling suddenly increased. I call this feeling "almost being afraid" because it is similar to the feeling of fear. I call it "almost there" for short. And my "fear of feeling" and "almost there" are more and more, and my life is getting more and more tormented. Because I was getting more and more serious, I had an examination at the Children's Hospital. The examination had two purposes. The first is to understand whether it is almost epilepsy, and the second is to understand whether the lesion has become larger. At this time, my father felt that the domestic doctors were not good enough, so he helped me find a doctor in Hong Kong. And the doctors in Hong Kong recommended to go to the United States. At this time, because it was too serious, I gradually refused to follow the advice of my parents on how much medicine to take from the doctor. Because I think I know my feelings best, how much medicine I should take. It is precisely because of this that the doctor in Hong Kong advised me to find a psychiatrist. Slowly, Chinese doctors found that the medicine could not restrain my condition, so they decided to recommend us to do it. Operation. In the beginning, the mother decided to have an operation in Shanghai. When my father learned about it, he was very anxious. Because everyone knows that surgery is not something that everyone can do, but the doctor just took a look at it and recommended it. And the doctor also said that the operation may not be successful. So my father decided to follow a doctor in Hong Kong and go to the United States to see a doctor. In the beginning, my father didn't know how to go to the United States to see a doctor. Later, when my father went online, he suddenly found an intermediary company (I later learned what this type of company did). At the beginning, my parents often said that I would go to this intermediary company to do this and that. I didn't participate too much at the time. Later, after I went to the United States to see a doctor, I gradually became more involved. During the medical treatment, my parents also had disputes like the parents in the movie, more disputes than the movie. Because my parents are both atheists and they lack faith, more disputes occur. I was also an atheist at the time, so I was not as confident as the little girl in the movie. Although I am an atheist, in American churches, although I don't understand, I still listen to the pastor's sermons earnestly and religiously, hoping that God can feel my piety. Like the little girl in the movie, I prayed religiously every day, even spending 90 minutes every day. Here, I would like to mention that when I went to the United States, I almost had no hope of successful medical treatment. I thought to myself, let's go to the United States to play once. The pastor preached, hoping that God could feel my piety. Like the little girl in the movie, I prayed religiously every day, even spending 90 minutes every day.

Here, I would like to mention that when I went to the United States, I almost had no hope of successful medical treatment. I thought to myself, let's go to the United States to play once.
When I first arrived in the United States, we also asked the doctor whether there were many children who were afraid of me with a disease like mine. They say there are many, but not as frequent as mine. When I arrived in the United States, I did an inspection. This check is to determine whether I can operate by observing where my disease is, so this check requires me to have an attack. There was once a child who had 3 seizures a day, but he did not have seizures for 6 consecutive days in the hospital, so the examination failed. And here, I can't help but sigh, miracles are everywhere. But I didn't cherish this miracle at the time, because my attacks were too frequent and I was too uncomfortable. As early as when I did the first inspection, the inspection went very smoothly. Slowly, I have been determined that I can operate, and the doctor also discovered that the lesion that caused my attack was exactly in the scared area of ​​the right brain, while other children were only managing other areas to discharge to the scared area. So I will be much more afraid and uncomfortable than others. Coupled with the fact that the doctor knows that I am conscious when I have epilepsy, it will be more uncomfortable. So they also care about me very much. This is also no small miracle, because only 5% of lucky people can have surgery. After staying in the United States for a while, I gradually feel the doctors here are good. They always answer children's questions seriously and are very patient. I also met so many good people in the United States, just like the little girl’s family in the movie met so many nice and enthusiastic people. Before the operation, I was extremely worried, because my attending doctor said that it should be cured by 50%, and with good luck, it can only be cured by 80%. If I'm not lucky, I will relapse after a few weeks, which scared me to death. During that time, it was also the time when I had the most serious illness. Every day I worry about not being cured, because the probability is too small. If I don’t heal, I will still have a very uncomfortable life. Later, both of my operations were successful. Especially for the second operation, my chief surgeon said it was the best operation in his history. After the operation, I learned that my parents were cheated of money in the United States. But the liar said to them, if you believe in God, then believe in me. My parents gave the money to the liar without hesitation. So, my parents and I began to believe in the power of God. After returning to China, my father also met God in his dream. What God said was exactly the same as what happened in reality, even his name was the same. God said that he gave us a chance, so I must seize this opportunity and cherish it. It is precisely because of my experience that my parents and I have a very deep feeling for this movie. Especially my father even cried. As the pastor in this movie said, it is better to have faith than no faith. Like my parents’ many disputes and my many worries, if I have faith , There will be none. For example: If I have faith, I will firmly believe that God will save me, just like saving this girl. If my parents believed in God, they would not argue for being deceived.
Miracles are indeed everywhere, like any little thing around us. This movie also tells us the benefits of believing in religion. Like my parents are also very able to understand the feelings of parents in the movie. My mother told me that when the doctor told them there was a 3% risk before the operation, my father immediately shed tears. I can also understand the child's painful feelings. I have many similarities with her. Just like she was in a bad mood at the time, and asked an adult: "I did not do anything wrong, why should I suffer so much." I can understand the feelings of a sick child. Like the kid inside, I don't want to go to school when I'm sick. I hope that parents of sick children will listen to their children as much as possible after seeing this film review, just like those American doctors. I also want to sigh that American doctors are doing well because they like this profession.
Since my epilepsy has become severe, I have always imagined that God will compensate me in the future and let me have a happy life. At that time, I also believed in God a little bit. I often rely on imagining my ideal life to inspire me to live. Just like Anna, I also have the idea of ​​not living. The two years of my worst illness caused great trauma to my soul. After so many hardships and I was born with my own ideas, I became a fully mature teenager. So I have my own ideas. In the United States, I also used my own ideas to argue with doctors, and even persuaded professors and doctors at Harvard. It is also because I have my own ideas, I also have all kinds of inexplicable worries, for example, watching TV will worry me, or think that my father is the devil. I also made many inexplicable and ridiculous actions, such as resolutely not watching TV for more than ten days, seeing my father is like seeing a tiger. So my temper was very violent at the time, I didn't trust the doctor, I firmly believed that my thoughts were right.
I believe that God will make up for me.
