Crazy Psychologist

Humans typically go through five stages when experiencing grief—denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance.

Fang Ming has come into contact with many patients, and the time and characteristics of each patient's immersion in a certain stage are different. The attitude of Chu Lin and her mother towards the disease and treatment is not actually that special. It is a cycle of these five stages.

The cycle of grief is sometimes fatal. Patients know that they will die, but before the disease, everyone also knew that they would die. However, the impact of two identical words on life itself is completely different.

A doctor's job is to face thousands of patients, and it is impossible to only think about one person. However, Fang Ming knew very well that just like the impact the professor's illness had on him, Chu Lin would stay in his memory for a long time. Time, this is definitely not a good thing for him.

After eight consecutive hours of surgery, Fang Ming lay half-lying on the rest chair in the office with his eyes closed. Just as he was about to take a nap, the director's voice rang out.

He reluctantly opened his eyes and turned to face the director. Just as he was about to stand up, the director said, "Sit down and rest." After that, he moved a chair and sat down across from him.

"I want to talk to you about Chu Lin."

Fang Ming nodded. Although he had nothing to say about the matter, Zhang Wenwen made it very clear at the consultation meeting that he needed a clear time period for the operation. This was not only of great significance to the therapeutic effect of the operation, but more importantly, involved Of course, many doctors will subjectively refuse to discuss their prognosis with their patients. This is also very simple. Doctors are busy at work and can only communicate with patients as much as possible about their condition, but it is impossible to ask them to cover everything, especially every patient. Each patient has different requirements. Some people are over eighty years old and want to live to be a hundred years old. Discussing the prognosis of such patients is completely different from discussing the prognosis of a girl in her early twenties.

But he doesn't want to say anything now, because he has said what needs to be said many times, and Zhang Wenwen has also said it. How could the director not be clear in his heart, so what he has to say can only be said by him.

"Let's talk." Fang Ming made his cooperative attitude clear.

The director's expression was a bit depressed, showing helpless weakness. Fang Ming didn't like this. He understood that these emotions were deliberately conveyed to others. The director used to be a highly skilled surgeon, and now he is a surgeon. Experienced surgical director.

There are dozens of doctors, dozens of nurses and countless patients under him. He is naturally familiar with what kind of people to talk to.

"You must think that I deliberately refused to allow you to undergo surgery."

"I don't think so. We have discussed it many times in the department, and most people are not opposed to conservative treatment."

"The family also hopes for this, because if surgery is performed, it may only extend the survival time a little, and the results are not significantly different from the results of drug treatment."

"You are indeed right. Chu Lin's mother never believed that her daughter needed surgery. They almost strengthened this idea to the point of denying the disease itself. This is something I have never seen before. "

"I'm also surprised by this. Generally speaking, patients will deny the disease because it's really hard to accept, but they will always accept it. The surgery confirmation form, treatment plan, and examination report will all make the patient gradually understand that the disease is inevitable. The fact of denial leads them to acceptance, and even doctors who are sick have to go through this stage.”

"But these are of no use to the mother and daughter. They can even change the doctor's judgment of the condition. But this is not a game, nor is it social exclusion among middle school students. The condition will not disappear just because people's consciousness excludes it. Can you just walk away obediently? It's getting more serious day by day, just like today's situation. No one can say that Chu Lin's sudden suicide attempt has nothing to do with the lesions in her brain. Let's get straight to the point. The director really feels that Doesn’t any of this matter?”

"Fang Ming, the work of a surgeon is a process of continuous improvement. Part of the reason why you want to operate on Chu Lin is because you want to make further breakthroughs in your own surgical skills, right?"

Fang Ming was stunned. He didn't expect the director to ask this. In the past few weeks, although he had been supporting Chu Lin's surgical treatment, he had never had a chance to discuss his specific thoughts. There was nothing wrong with the lower abdominal organ removal surgery. After much talk, Fang Ming had to admire that the director was also a surgical expert before he became an experienced director.

Since the two were discussing the surgery openly and honestly during off-hours, communicating in the surgeon-to-surgeon manner, it was entirely appropriate to avoid personal emotions and simply focus on the surgery itself.

"Do you think the risk is worth it?"

This question is really sharp, as if a hunter's trap is placed in front of Fang Ming. Because this clearing technique is thorough, whatever Fang Ming wants to do will not affect the bad result.

To put it simply, for a prisoner who is already on death row, there seems to be no difference in being sentenced to an additional ten or twenty years.

He should answer this question carefully before he could figure out the director's intention, but Fang Ming was too lazy to hide it. He had already decided to withdraw from Chu Lin's treatment.

"It's not a matter of taking risks, it's a matter of me thinking I can do it."

"Bladder reconstruction, you think what prevents patients from choosing surgery is that they can't live like normal people after surgery, so you think that as long as you can allow Chu Lin to maintain as normal a life as possible after surgery, it will be fine."

There is no doubt that the director was indeed right. Fang Ming responded with silence. The director shook his head and said in a gentle tone: "Do you think if you explain these details to the patients clearly, they will be happy to accept the surgery? "

Fang Ming didn't think there was anything wrong with what the director said. As a doctor, what he needed to pay more attention to was whether this could be achieved during the operation.

"I don't object to you explaining this possibility to the patient. But you have to think about what happens if the surgery is not successful."

"Are you worried about my skills?"

"You are at the best age for a surgeon, the age where you continue to challenge difficulties and achieve success. I can understand your mood very well, but I also want to remind you of what you are facing. Chu Lin's mother has objected to our discussion more than once. Surgery, you can ignore the research funds they sponsor to the hospital every year. I can't - and as far as I know, after the thrilling thing happened in the morning, their attitude did not change, and they even denied the surgical treatment again. possible."

As expected, the director's hands and eyes were very clear. What Chu Lin said in the ward could be clearly understood by others. Fang Ming snorted, almost inaudibly, and then said: "I heard that Chu Lin is married. Her husband They can be considered family members.”

The director was startled. He didn't expect that he was thinking about Fang Ming so earnestly, but he was going further and further on his stubborn path.
