858 Dignity of the patient
A moral and conscientious doctor is unwilling to give up treatment for the patient even if the patient has a glimmer of hope.
However, many times, doctors actually cannot make the decision because they also need the patient's family to agree to the treatment.
When the patient is seriously ill but can take a risk, the doctor has the responsibility to explain the situation to the patient's family. Regardless of traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine, this is the responsibility of the doctor to notify him, how to treat him, what are the consequences of unsuccessful treatment, etc.
This is true in many industries, such as lawyers. If you entrust a lawyer to sue, no lawyer will give you 100% guarantee that the lawsuit will win. It will only tell you what kind of plan to take to sue, and will not give you any guarantee.
The old man also met a patient similar to this back then. He was a critically ill patient. The hospital had notified the patient's family and asked the patient to eat whatever he liked to eat. This was a more tactful statement. Translated by the hospital, the hospital actually told the patient's family that the patient's illness was already very serious and could not be cured. Just go home and wait for the funeral.
With such a notice from the hospital, the patient's family naturally knew what happened. They would not send the patient to the hospital again.
After the patient fell into a coma, the patient's family came to the door, hoping that the old man could come to see the doctor.
The old man was young and energetic at that time and had a very high medical skills, so he followed him to the patient's house. After seeing the patient, the old man first stabbed the acupoint with silver needles to make the patient wake up.
Then, the old man explained the situation to the patient's family that the patient's disease can be cured, but he will take a lot of risks because the patient is too old.
The final result was that the patient's family chose conservative treatment, and the old man could only prescribe a few medications to the patient. If the old man gave the patient an injection at that time, the patient would have been saved.
The old man has never told anyone about this. If he really wants to talk about it, the old man is not wrong.
However, in the old man's heart, he always felt that he should not tell the patient's family members at that time, but told the patient directly that the patient still had some help. Even if he took risks and had only a glimmer of hope, he should give the patient acupuncture treatment.
Now, Zhang Quanyou's situation is similar to the patient the old man encountered back then. The only difference is that Zhang Quanyou's family chose money and gave up the treatment of Zhang Quanyou.
Liu Chuanzhi said at this time: "If you can do it, I think you should give it a try. The worst result is nothing more than just following the wishes of Zhang Quanyou's family."
Hearing Liu Chuanzhi's words, the old man nodded. It seemed that he still agreed with Liu Chuanzhi's view.
Chen Jian raised his head, looked at Liu Chuanzhi, and said, "Old Liu, have you ever thought about another problem? What if it succeeds? Will you wake up Zhang Quanyou?"
"That's not better, let his family's dirty thoughts fail!" Liu Chuanzhi said.
"I'm not talking about this." Chen Jian shook his head and said, "It's not necessarily a good thing for Zhang Quanyou to wake up Zhang Quanyou. Facing such a family, spending the rest of his life."

When Liu Chuanzhi heard Chen Jian's words, he was stunned. He did not expect this level.
Indeed, Zhang Quanyou's family can give up any opportunity to wake up Zhang Quanyou for money. If Zhang Quanyou wakes up, he will have to face such a family to spend his life. For Zhang Quanyou, it is not necessarily a good thing.
If Zhang Quanyou learned the truth of the matter in the future, it would be a very cruel thing for Zhang Quanyou.
Of course, even if it is enough, Zhang Quanyou, Chen Jian and the others will not say anything to Zhang Quanyou about what his family wants to do.
But there is no airtight wall in the world, and no one can guarantee that this secret will remain confidential. Zhang Quanyou will never know about this.
"What is the greatest sorrow of the patient?" the old man suddenly asked at this time.
When he heard the old man's words, Chen Jian, Liu Chuanzhi and Wu Wei all looked at the old man.
"The greatest sorrow of patients is that they have no right to choose, or even no final dignity." The old man said in a deep voice: "Almost without exception, whether it is Western medicine or Chinese medicine, when facing severe patients, they will notify the patient's family, and the patient's family will eventually make a choice. But I think this choice should be the patient's own, whether his or her own disease is cured or not, and all kinds of results that may occur in the treatment should be told to the patient, let the patient choose by himself, not the patient's family."
After a pause, the old man said again: "Manpower is sometimes poor, and some diseases will not be cured even if they are treated. However, the patient's family still chooses to treat the patient, allowing the patient to suffer tremendous pain for no reason. In this case, it is actually better to let the patient suffer less and spend his last time with dignity."
Hearing the old man's words, Chen Jian nodded silently. Although he was a Chinese medicine doctor, he understood the meaning of what the old man said.
The things that the old man said are actually happening in the hospital every day. The patient is already terminally ill and there is not much time left. In order to fulfill his filial piety, his children will choose to give the patient surgical treatment. However, this treatment will not cure the patient, but will instead increase the pain the patient has suffered for no reason.
In addition to the torture of illness, the torture of postoperative recovery is added.
In fact, when an elderly person is seriously ill at home, no matter what choice his children make, it is wrong.
Even at that time it was a well-thought-out decision!
The best way is actually what the old man said, inform the patient of the condition and let the patient make his own choice!
When facing patients suffering from incurable diseases, it is better to let the patients suffer less and leave with dignity.
"Zhang Quanyou's life should not be decided by such a family!" Chen Jian nodded and said, "Let's take a chance and start preparing. Go to the hospital tonight!"
Although Chen Jian made the final decision, there are still practical difficulties in actual operation.
After all, Zhang Quanyou is now in the intensive care unit of the hospital. If you want to take a risk, you need the hospital to open the door to convenience.
Chen Jian immediately called Huo Fei'ang and told Huo Fei'ang the real reason why Zhang Quanyou's family gave up treatment, and expressed his thoughts.
After Mr. Huo was silent on the phone for a long time, he finally made a decision and agreed to Chen Jian and the old man to take a chance.
