Some thoughts on illness and the doctor-patient relationship

Causes: The World Health Organization has long pointed out that many people die not from disease, but from unhealthy lifestyles. Among the many factors that lead to disease, the environment, genetics and other factors are objective, but only the lifestyle is optional. However, many people choose to live an unhealthy lifestyle, and over time, this “machine” of the body has problems, which of course should be blamed on themselves. The doctor-patient relationship in hospital: When a person is hospitalized, he or she is essentially seeking the help of a doctor. Medicine has its limitations, and doctors are not infallible. This is just like the famous quote by the American physician Justin Trudeau: a doctor treats, “Sometimes, to cure; often, to help; always, to comfort.” Therefore, it is contrary to common sense and unjust to put the blame on doctors for not being able to cure a disease. –so we doctors just help you to recover, and it is up to the patient to decide exactly how. The severity of illness, the patient’s attitude: old age, sickness and death are the natural laws of man. Sickness is a cumulative process, and recovery is also a gradual process, as the saying goes, “sickness goes away like silk”. When a person is sick, the doctor can only try to relieve the pain and gradually reverse the deterioration of the disease, but can not guarantee immediate results, a miraculous return to life, this is an objective law. All the patient has to do is to actively cooperate with the doctor’s treatment and study together how to overcome the disease. If they do not look rationally at old age, sickness and death, and have high expectations, they will make wrong judgments and deepen their misunderstanding of doctors. –When a person is ill, the doctor can only try to relieve the pain and gradually reverse the deterioration of the disease, but cannot guarantee immediate results and a miraculous return to life, which is an objective law.

Pre- and post-operative explanation of the disease and the doctor’s responsibility: However, there are some people who believe that the doctor is primarily responsible for the patient’s life since he or she has given it to the doctor. It is true that it is the doctor’s job to save lives and help the injured. However, the doctor’s responsibility is mainly reflected in the dedication to treatment, but can not guarantee the recovery of every patient. If a critically ill patient dies in the hospital, the primary reason is the criticality of the disease, if we exclude reasons such as doctors’ perfunctory and medical malpractice. If the rescue is successful, we should thank the doctor; if the rescue is not successful, we do not have to blame the doctor. After all, the human body is an extremely complex “machine”, once damaged, it is difficult to restore the original. If we take for granted the success of the rescue, the unsuccessful rescue are attributed to the failure of doctors, then no one will want to be a doctor in the future. — Indeed, it is the doctor’s duty to save lives and help the injured. After all, the human body is an extremely complex “machine”, once damaged, it is difficult to recover as before, so before and after surgery may appear all the circumstances, please understand, do not blame the doctor, because the patient’s condition is too serious, we We have done our best. ——- The first responsibility for health lies with you, don’t put all the blame on the doctors!
