Best Farewell
In life, aging and death are unavoidable topics, especially when aging is getting more and more serious. There is a book that gives us good thinking. Its name is "The Best Farewell".
The author of this book is American Indian writer Artu Gwende, the youngest White House health policy adviser, a key figure influencing Obamacare policy, and the only doctor in Time Magazine's 2010 list of the world's "100 Most Influential People. The author discusses three main topics in the book: end-of-life care, nursing and old-age care.
For caring for the elderly, children and the elderly themselves have different goals. Children want safety, so that in order to prevent the elderly from wrestling, they will not let the elderly walk by themselves. What the elderly want is self-recognition and inner respect. For them, smiling and watching them clasp the last button tremblingly is far more satisfying for their self-confidence and self-esteem than us stepping forward and helping them fasten all the buttons quickly. Repair health, also need to nourish the soul. Dr. Atu visited different forms of elderly care institutions and introduced readers to several elderly care models. For example, some institutions allow the elderly to take care of children and small animals. It was found that this can more eliminate the loneliness and anxiety of the elderly, and then prolong life, even for Elderly people with severe Alzheimer's disease are also effective.
For those fatal or incurable diseases, how to grasp the scale of treatment? Dr. Attu made an analysis from the different angles of doctors and sons: it is absolutely necessary for children to talk to their parents at the right time and ask for their opinions, so that when it is really necessary, they can give answers according to their parents' wishes. Hospitals in the United States require patients to make choices about how to treat extraordinary situations that may be encountered when they are admitted to the hospital. It is only for the doctor to make timely treatment according to the patient's existing choices when the patient encounters the extreme situation. If we also have such a mechanism, maybe there will be no right or wrong in Yulin maternal jumping off a building.
In the United States, terminally ill patients can choose to continue treatment or "hospice". I used to think that euthanasia was the best way to alleviate the suffering of incurable patients and preserve their dignity. After reading this book, I changed my opinion. After all, "euthanasia" has the meaning of forcing people to die, and a good end is not a good death, but a good life to the end, life and death will naturally be considered complete. Death may be our enemy, but it is also in accordance with the natural laws of things. For most people, spending their last days in the ICU because of an incurable disease is a complete mistake. They don't even have a chance to say "I'm sorry" or "I love you" to the person they love most ". With the continuous development of society, if people can have the opportunity to choose "hospice service", "hospice service is palliative treatment", take medicine in their own home according to the guidance of doctors and nurses, and when necessary, professional medical staff can come to do timely and scientific treatment, which not only relieves the pain, but also has the company of family and friends, and no longer falls into pain and anxiety emotionally. Some people may worry that the cost will not be too expensive, but the result of Dr. Atu's investigation is that this will save medical expenses. Moreover, patients who receive hospice services can live with their relatives, can do what they want to do when they are in good condition, can see the people they want to see, and finally can leave the world peacefully and peacefully in their own homes. For a dignified person, it cannot but be said to be happy.
I was lucky to meet The Best Farewell. Although we are still in the stage of over-medical treatment and there is no hospice care to choose from, we can come into contact with some new successful models by reading this book and through the cases in the book. think ahead about how we and our loved ones deal with it at certain times. Although our country has also set up a "social work" major and trained social workers, neither the number of employees nor the professional quality can meet the needs of an aging population. I hope that the leaders of the medical and health management department can see this book and use new ideas to improve the medical management level and medical model of our country; I also hope that more and more parents and children can see this book and let us face it. The reincarnation of life.
"The Best Farewell", the English name "Being Mortal ", the literal translation is "mortals have death". Although we Chinese avoid the word "death", this is a natural choice. Everyone must face the arrival of that day. Tomorrow is beautiful, our hearts yearning for the sun will not change. I hope that when we reach the destination of life, everyone can have the "best farewell". (Liu Hairong)
