Chapter 347: Chapter 168: One Brilliant Move, Eat Everywhere. Zhou Can Can Handle This.

Every disease, once diagnosed with its cause and pathophysiological chanism, can be effectively treated with the right approach, and in general, outcos can be assured.

Unless it is a malignant disease, where dicine and treatnt are impotent.

For instance, most cancers, even with a known tumor location, once tastasis occurs, dication can only alleviate pain and postpone death. No drugs can precisely kill cancer cells yet.

However, as humanity’s dical science and technology continue to develop, dications are also becoming more advanced.

The ergence of various anti-cancer drugs has brought hope for a cure to cancer.

Maybe one day, cancer could beco as trivial as a common cold, easily cured.

The patient in bed 7, after finding the true cause and being treated with targeted dication, truly had visibly effective results.

Unless sothing unexpected happens, this patient will certainly be transferred out of the ICU soon.

Zhou Can felt that the value of his dical studies was greatly exemplified.

At this mont, the dical team surrounding bed 14, not far away, began to disperse, each with serious expressions. Two nurses had tears in their eyes.

It seed that the patient’s fate was more likely to be grim than hopeful.

The family soon ca in wearing isolation gowns, led by a nurse.

It was an elderly man being resuscitated in the bed; his exact illness was unclear. The family did not break into loud cries, and the entire farewell process was brief and silent. It probably lasted no more than about ten minutes.

Once the tube was removed, the patient took his last breath and left this wonderful yet painful world forever.

After the nurse finished processing the body, a hospital worker ca in directly with a cart, lifted the body into a yellow body bag, and then took it away through the morgue door. A life thus ended.

This ti it was an elderly patient, which is sowhat less tragic compared to the saying ‘the gray-haired mourning the black-haired.’

“Alas, that old man had late-stage lung cancer and had been in our Intensive Care dicine Departnt for nearly two months. The attending doctor told the family early on that treatnt was not very aningful. But the family insisted on treating him, sparing no expense. Now that he’s gone, it’s a relief for both the family and the patient.”

Doctor Hu ca back and started telling Zhou Can the story of patient in bed 14.

After listening, Zhou Can couldn’t help but be filled with emotion.

In the Intensive Care dicine Departnt, one could see the genuine side of families.

Like the patient in bed 6 yesterday, the one who drank paraquat; his wife cried bitterly, but how much of that was real grief, outsiders would find it hard to tell.

The family of the patient in bed 14, with no crying or fussing, appeared very calm throughout the entire farewell process.

They seem indifferent and unfeeling, but in fact, they possess more filial piety than one might expect.

Knowing fully well that the old man was elderly and suffering from an incurable disease, they still willingly spent a huge sum on dical expenses, insisting on having him stay in the best ICU for the best treatnt.

The money spent is real; knowing fully well the situation would result in both financial and personal loss, very few families are willing to spend that money.

“The patient never knew he had cancer until his death. Otherwise, he might have asked us to remove the tubes himself.”

Doctor Hu added.

“For the patient, knowing it’s an incurable disease, he might choose to leave this world with dignity. The piety of the family seems noble, but if it were my parents at this stage, I would not hesitate to ask the doctor to remove the tubes. Lying in this place hidden from the sun, I believe it’s tornt for the patient every day.”

Zhou Can shared his opinion.

“Hey, under China’s traditional values of filial piety, your thoughts could easily be condemned as unfilial.” Doctor Hu paused, looking at Zhou Can as if seeing him for the first ti.

“My parents always told not to care about what others think, to live each day well, and to stay true to myself. That is sufficient! To make my parents suffer in bed without dignity, in the na of so-called filial piety, is worse than letting them go sooner.”

Zhou Can’s view was indeed different from many others.

He seed to have understood so life philosophies that were not typical for his age.

Even if, in the eyes of the world, it seed rebellious, he remained unconcerned.

Patients in the Intensive Care dicine Departnt depend on others for all their needs.

For example, the patient in bed 17, also quite old. I heard he was a retired official, quite a high rank. But now look at him, breathing with a ventilator, eating through a feeding tube, urine and bowels controlled by catheters.

He is conscious, but his body is paralyzed and immobile.

Eating, drinking, using the toilet, turning over, lifting hands and feet, all need the help of the dical staff.

No different from a walking corpse.

Yet the patient insists on treatnt; I heard he was very dominant before retiring, and the family dares not oppose him.

So he has been lying in the Intensive Care dicine Departnt for nearly half a year.

rely hanging by a thread.

I really don’t know what he’s living for? Knowing death is inevitable, why endure such suffering.

“Humph! Who would have thought, so young, yet you have such deep insight.” Doctor Hu complinted him verbally, but his eyes and tone suggested disagreent with Zhou Can’s perspective.

Everyone has different thoughts; their ways of living differ as well.

“Alright, let’s not talk about the grand principles of life. Today I will continue to teach you how to use various instrunts here and how to dicate patients.”

Doctor Hu changed the subject and started teaching him more skills from the Intensive Care dicine Departnt.

“First of all, I must tell you, the purpose of the Intensive Care dicine Departnt is not to treat patients, but to save their lives.”

Zhou Can nodded in agreent with this point of view.

The Intensive Care dicine Departnt is all about doing everything possible to save lives. Treatnt is the responsibility of specialists.
