I once saw a question in Zhihu: what happened to those who did not cherish the body?
Here's an answer:
Those who did not cherish the body later exchanged their lives for lessons.
Deeply.
In these years in the hospital, I have witnessed the birth of many people and watched many people leave. It's like a mirror, no matter who it is, as long as they come in, they can see the separation of life and death and the complexity of human nature.
01. The mirror of the hospital tears through the cruelest truth of life
It was the emergency room at four o'clock in the morning, still brightly lit, someone here to pick up a life, and someone to never wake up again.
The cold hall was full of beds, full of patients with various diseases; on the one hand, the family members, not caring how cold the chairs were, took a nap for the most relaxing moment of the day.
There were not enough beds, so they had to make floors in the corners.
At 4:20 a.m., troubled parents clutched their children and headed for the emergency room, waiting for them to be unknown.
The emergency hall is crowded with people, some people are in a hurry to pay, and some people are worried about not being able to hang up. There is anxiety, there is sadness, there is helplessness...
In the corner of the doorway, the father held his sleeping daughter, even though he was exhausted, but he did not dare to relax for a moment.
On the other side, in front of the payment window, the mother held her sick daughter, full of pain.
Yes, the mirror of the hospital is so bright that the fragility and strength of life, the helplessness and despair of fate, are vividly illuminated here.
If one day you think life is too difficult, please be sure to go to the hospital. You will find that this is the cruelest truth of life, and when fate plays a joke with you, you have no strength to resist, only to accept with a smile.
02. Living well is a compulsory course in our life
It was a late winter night, and I was just getting ready for the night shift when I heard a heart-rending cry from the corridor next door.
A middle-aged man collapsed on the ground, and it turned out that he was crying for his wife who had just passed away.
Two people have been in love for many years, and finally like everyone else, they have completed the process of marriage and children. In this process, the chickens and dogs in life have finally flattened the sea oath mountain alliance when in love, and a small quarrel for three days and a big quarrel for five days has almost become the norm.
At this time, the wife was diagnosed with advanced liver cancer.
The wife wants a divorce, even if the two people have been arguing all these years, but the wife still does not want to drag him down. He didn't agree, and no matter what harsh words his wife said, he still stuck to the hospital bed.
Every time the wife said the harsh words, her heart softened again, and she apologized to him guiltily, and the husband and wife just finished arguing on the front foot again and again, and the back foot hugged together and cried into tears.
"You will be fine, when you are well, we will take the children to travel together, to Daocheng, to Xishuangbanna... My son and I will be obedient in the future and will not make you angry again. ”
But everyone knows that they have no future.
Many people will always worry about various trivial matters in life before getting sick, and as long as there is a little unhappiness, they will complain.
But until you go to the hospital once, you will understand: in this world, except for life and death, everything else is a small matter.
03. There is no filial piety in front of the bed for a long time, don't gamble your life on human nature
The year before yesterday, an old man was treated with blood in the brain and was infected, and he basically could not speak, but his consciousness was still relatively clear.
The elderly have 5 children, although the medical expenses are very high, but if several children are equally shared, it is acceptable.
One day, I heard my children discussing before passing by the ward, and the central idea was to give up treatment. But none of the children could open this mouth, and finally came to the conclusion of "respecting the wishes of the elderly."
Just like that, the children came to the hospital bed with a big sigh of relief: "Dad, do you want to go home?" Blink your eyes if you want to. ”
The old man looked at the children in front of him, his eyes were sluggish for a long time, and he could see that his eyes were full of tears. The children were impatient: "You blink!"!
The old man was visibly relieved and closed his eyes.
"Huh? Do you want to go home? Then we will go and tell the doctor..." Even before this, my colleagues and I have repeatedly told my relatives that the elderly cannot leave the ventilator, and they must monitor the heart rate at any time.
On the third day of returning home, the old man died.
Hospitals are the places where money is least visible, but they also need it the most.
There is no filial piety in front of the bed for a long time, when you are healthy, you are surrounded by good people, and everyone treats you sincerely.
But when you lie in the hospital bed, you find that there are very few who can stay around in the end.
04. How lucky it is to be alive, why can't it be cherished
Romain Rolland once said:
Pain is like a plow, it ploughs your heart while digging up new origins of life.
No place can be as real as a hospital. Here, everyone is equal, all you have, all the labels that are under the world and the system will be faded, and there is only one thing left that is the most important and indispensable thing as a human being: health.
If you go to the hospital once, you will understand how valuable your health really is
"The dose of a dose of nocinnasine sodium is 5ml, the domestic price is 550,000, and there are 100 drops of a drug, with an average of 5500 yuan per drop."
This is the price of the drug for the treatment of "spinal muscular atrophy", after a young girl was hospitalized for 4 days and only injected with this injection, it cost a full 550,000 yuan.
"Planting a tooth ranges from 6,000-20,000 yuan, the most expensive 80,000, if you plant a tooth, it is equivalent to buying a suite in the county."
See, those healthes that you didn't think of, until the real body collapses, you will find out how valuable your physical health is.
When you don't want to work, when you feel that there is no point in living, when you feel that life is about to crush you, you may wish to go to the hospital.
Look at those who are hiding in the corners of the wall and despairing, look at the families who are vulnerable to disease.
Go to the hospital once and you'll understand that health is your greatest asset
Someone once asked: How do you choose between high salary and health?
The results were unexpected, and most people chose to pay high salaries and put their health aside.
But did you know that when the disease comes, all wealth and possession are nothing but nothingness? You exchange your health for a promising future, but you also lose the right to live a peaceful life.
The son of a netizen's mother friend was hospitalized because he ate a lot of things before going to bed, which caused acute pancreatitis.
It doesn't seem to be a serious disease, but it has to prepare 800,000, and the survival rate is only 10%. Even if it is finally rescued, it is very likely that there are still vegetative people.
Some people are hospitalized for 9 days, ICU treatment fees, surgery fees, Western medicine costs... It cost no less than 1.7 million.
Go to the hospital once and you will understand how painful the surgery is
"I have operated on so many people, I didn't expect that the patient would be so painful after the operation, even if it is to leave a little stomach for the patient, it is better than full incision..."
This is a reflection left by a predecessor who has been practicing medicine for 56 years before his death.
As a doctor, he has operated on countless people in his life, but he did not expect that he would one day experience such pain. In July 2005, he was diagnosed with advanced stomach cancer and immediately underwent a total gastrectomy.
This operation made him feel unprecedented pain: after the operation, the bile and intestinal fluid flowed upwards, so severe that even the eustachian tube was stimulated to the point of pain. Later, he developed a terminal ileal obstruction, and the heart, liver, and kidneys were all severely damaged. At this time, he was accompanied by bloating, vomiting and generalized edema.
Having a disease once and having an operation will you find that health is so precious.
Hospitals are raw doors, but they are also dead doors.
Everyone who comes to the hospital never questions the meaning of living, because for them, living has meaning.
Life and death, sorrow and joy, cruelty or tenderness, happen here all the time. If you think life is too difficult, you may wish to come to the hospital to have a look.
