On June 8, a baby with a placenta appeared on the floor of the hall of Bayan County Hospital in Harbin, Heilongjiang.
According to hospital staff, the baby was born prematurely at 32 weeks and its mother was born suddenly during her hospital visit. The hall tiles are cold and hard, without any cushioning, and the young life suffers a blow as soon as it lands.
After the baby landed, her father hurried to send the mother to the obstetrics and gynecology department, so the scene in the first picture appeared, and the child with the placenta was left on the cold and hard ground.
Later, the hospital medical staff responded that the child had been sent to the incubator.
I hope this mother and child are safe and sound!
Although the mother was sent to the obstetrics and gynecology department and the child was sent to the incubator, the live video was transmitted online and caused great controversy.
The most controversial thing was that the baby lay on the ground for a few minutes, surrounded by medical staff and people, all quietly watching, and no one reached out to hold it, even if it was to cover something to keep warm.
Some people think that it is right not to touch it, because lay obstetricians and gynecologists cannot determine the specific situation of the child, and rash actions may cause secondary injury, and if it is touched, it is difficult to say at that time.
Some people think that if they don't touch it, especially if the medical staff next to them don't touch it, saving lives and helping the wounded is the doctor's duty, in the face of such a weak life, you should not stand and watch from afar, but should actively help, and the possibility of the child surviving is one second earlier.
Another person questioned the father's choice, no matter how critical the mother's situation is, she has been accompanied by medical staff, and she cannot leave her child behind in any case, which will leave her with the psychological trauma of being abandoned.
The baby lying naked on the ground is like the purest mirror, and all the worldly thoughts, words and deeds of adults in front of the mirror are clearly illuminated. Lao Tzu summarized this phenomenon in the Tao Te Ching as: Chang Virtue does not leave, and it returns to the baby.
Because adults think more, they will hesitate, worry, and even have the phenomenon that they would rather not do it than do it wrong. Think about it, isn't this the same as the old man lying on the ground without anyone to help?
The only difference is that a life has just come and a life is coming to an end.
The author actually prefers the following approach:
The doctor bravely picked up the baby, the crowd enthusiastically sent blankets, and in the end, regardless of the outcome of the child, the parents did not pursue it. Everything can be like this, why worry that the wind of civilization cannot blow all over the north and south of the river, and why worry that no one on the moral high ground can do their best to consolidate it.
