I was a more straightforward person and was not good at lying, but that time, I lied.
The reason is based on a girl's love for her mother who has cancer! I was moved by it, and cooperated with a lie, a white lie.
I remember one day, I was sitting in the treatment room doing a venipuncture for the patient. Suddenly, a young girl, probably twenty-five years old, hurried up to me and bowed her head and whispered to me, "Nurse, please wait until my mother gets an injection, you must not say that she has cancer, nor do you say that she is taking chemotherapy drugs"!
I looked at the treatment sheet in her hand, which was diagnosed as "lung cancer" and was only 56 years old. I said to the girl "your mother is so young, she doesn't know what disease she has herself"? The girl told me that her mother was actually illiterate, and when the CT test was reported as lung cancer, they consulted with the attending doctor, and did not tell her mother for the time being, just say "pneumonia". So her mother didn't know.
After listening to the girl's words, I understood what she meant, a sensible daughter, she was afraid that after her mother knew that she had cancer, her heart could not accept it for a while, it was easy to have a sense of fear, her heart was thinking wildly, and her spirit would be crushed, which would directly affect the treatment effect.
I remember once heard such a rumor: said that there is a man in his seventies, he also suffered from cancer, the specific diagnosis I forgot, when his son and family asked the doctor not to tell the patient the truth, every time he took him to follow up, the doctor in addition to prescribing examinations and drugs, but also chatted with him, never revealed to him, so after half a year, the patient's condition was temporarily stable, did not continue to deteriorate.
Until one time, his son took him to see a doctor for a follow-up consultation, who knew that the attending doctor went out for a meeting, temporarily handed over to other doctors in the same group for treatment, the doctor did not know, after reading the medical records and diagnosis, and then looked at the patient's mental outlook, surprised and said, "Hey! How can you have cancer for half a year and still be so good, it is really strange, the effect is good"! The doctor's words exploded like thunder! The patient knew that he had an incurable disease, and at that time the whole person was stunned, and when he returned home, he was sullen and unhappy, and died a few days later. The authenticity of this matter needs to be confirmed, or there is an element of exaggeration, but it does not exclude the patient's psychological endurance, sometimes not to die of illness, but to be scared to death, so psychological care is very important.
If you can make a terminally ill patient desperate, you can give others a glimmer of hope. White lies have restored her confidence, so why not! So I promised the girl, and when her mother came over for the injection, I didn't say a word, when she asked me what kind of injection, I also said it was anti-inflammatory, and then I successfully got the injection, and the girl thanked me.
This is the first time I have encountered such a thing, although I lied, but I can help people, I also feel not guilty, because this is a white lie! Don't know if I'm doing it right?
