doctor and patient

"For him, it was like there were a thousand fences, and behind a thousand fences there was no world. He paced in tight circles, going round and round, where the great will became numb." Such rigidity Sexual syncope patients, day after day in such a state of numbness, are throwing away their youth without knowing it. The world outside the window changes, but the space inside the window remains the same.

"When you refer to 'people', do you mean 'living'?" Dr. Searle asked such a poignant question during an interview at Pontine Hospital. In the face of chronically ill patients like dead people, this hospital just mechanically gives them water and nutrition - more numb than the patients, these inaction doctors. But Searle is not like this, nor does he succumb to it, and has always respected each patient as an independent individual. For doctors, what is valuable is not the superb medical skills and rich clinical experience, but the humanistic caring spirit from beginning to end. Only in this way, in the face of diseases and pharmacology that human beings have not yet understood, can they fight to the last moment, no matter the outcome is good or bad, without any regrets.

Under the influence and leadership of Searle's spirit, this once gloomy and cold hospital began to warm. Searle wiped Lucy's glasses lightly with his tie, the doctors rejoiced at the patient's recovery, the nurse put on makeup for the beauty-loving but relapsed old man... "What we do know is that when chemical When the window of the potion is closed, another window of awakening is opened, and that is the human spirit, which is more potent than any medicine." Before such a great spirit, we can only look up.

For those patients who have been ruthlessly bound by fate all their lives, whether unconsciously or unconsciously, they all yearn for the free life outside the window. Lucy staggered to the window, the world outside reflected in her motionless eyes; Reynolds bravely asked the board for the right to "choose if I can go for a walk alone, like a normal person." They all hope that their lives can be as free, enthusiastic and unrestrained as they are when they are dancing.

"People won't appreciate those ordinary things, we have to let them know how good it is, let them feel the joy, gift and freedom of life." At this time, the best inspiration for the world from these awakened and asleep patients . And the best way for us to miss them is to treat life as a business and manage it seriously.
