I think the life and death of patients in the movie and the attitude of doctors when facing these life and deaths are very real.
In 2017, I worked as an intern in the mental health clinic of a certain city. In China, the drugs for mental illness are similar. The main drugs for depression are generally antidepressant drugs represented by tricyclics, such as paroxetine, citalopram, fluvoxamine and so on. The truth in treating depression is that if this drug doesn't work, you can switch to another one.
What makes me feel cold the most is that in the treatment of a patient I participated in, from my personal point of view, the attending physician can recover him within a month or two, or at least restore social function. But he did not do so. Because the doctor’s salary is linked to the number of cases on hand.
This is very realistic. Here, the faces of patients, patients, and visitors are blurred. They are not real people, but the numbers and text cases that doctors have on hand.
In the eyes of ordinary people, doctors face death every day, and it is hard to imagine what it feels like. But for doctors, this is just work. Work and life must be separated, or you will be crazy. I have been a doctor for a long time, and the most rare thing is that I still have a kind of empathy and empathy for the patient. A doctor is nothing more than a job. The back of the job is survival, a better life, higher social status, bills that need to be paid, and family members that need to be supported. Doctor, not as great as imagined.
This film not only looks at life and death from the doctor's point of view, but also from the patient's point of view.
When your life begins to count down, life no longer exists, survival is important. Being able to live an extra day is a day without so much consideration.
I once met a friend who suffered from cancer in his twenties. What a blow this is to a person who is about to start his life. When life and death are already in front of your eyes, it seems that there is not so much time for you to think about it, because every tomorrow may be the end. However, reality is often cruel, even if you have a terminal illness, there is still no way to get rid of reality. You need to consider how to tell your parents whether you can continue this job, what to do next, and what kind of ending to your life should be? Your friends, your family, how to settle.
this is the truth.
When you go on living day by day, when you look back, you didn't expect that you have lived for seven years. If you ask me what is the meaning of life, I can't say anything, I can only say that it is a day to live an extra day.
There is not so much chic and magic, ending with Rennes' words: "I don't want to die."
