Cancer, a frightening name, is often heard in our lives. My grandmother died of lung cancer. This condition really looks very little different from the outside, and the patient can still carry it with him in his daily normal life. But maybe he will never wake up again at that moment. The degree to which it is incurable has caused many patients to suffer both mental and physical torment, and the former seems to be more ferocious than the latter—of course, this is also the commonality of most terminal illnesses.
One of the most memorable moments in the film wasn't my mom in the hospital saying she was involved in a cancer support group last week, or a book "Facing Caner Together" with highlights and folds in a friend's bathroom, but When the doctor said he had to have surgery.
"However if we are not successfully in removing the cancer,
then unfortunately, we will be out of options."
What a euphemistic and desperate line. There is no choice but to have surgery; even with surgery, it may not be successful; without success, there is no other choice. Is it the pleasure of doctors to push patients into despair step by step? ! After all, not everyone is like a doctor who deals with birth, aging, sickness and death all day long, and reaches the true state of the four things being empty. Therefore, the intervention of psychologists, both for patients and doctors, is particularly necessary.
Therefore, in addition to family, friendship, and love, there is a fourth type of special emotion—the care of strangers. The intersection of rookie trainee psychiatrist Katherine and her patients. According to my personal experience, the care of strangers is really effective. It seems that when facing strangers, it is easier to open up and say some things that you often worry about. Usually, such exchanges do not name names and do not involve money. Interests are purely a matter of fact. In addition to emotional catharsis, they can often complement each other and find unexpected surprises. For the patient in the film, although the rookie doctor is just a fledgling and can hardly hide his immaturity, he still gains a little peace from her. Because of this, the night before the operation, he chose to call her without a driver's license, instead of stepping on the accelerator to the end and perishing with the whole world.
Therefore, God is fair to this terminally ill patient and gives him the right to choose to talk. Yes, the preciousness of life lies in the choice, and the sadness lies in the inability to choose. The patient's illness has no choice; however, his mentality in the face of the illness can be chosen. For those of us who are healthy and alive, maybe it's not the question that gives you choice phobia, every question is evidence of your existence. In addition, of course, it is also a blessing to have someone who is tangled with you or who makes you tangled. "it takes a pair to beat the odds." Friendship, family, and love are all indispensable.
The two highlights of this film: 1. The screenwriter wrote his real experience into a script, and his friends who experienced it also "played in his true colors" in the film, which is downright inspirational. 2. Joseph Gordon, at least one of the top 3 actors I like, his acting skills have been certified again, and he conveys just the right emotions in a slightly playful way.
