概述:

我之所以能做出这样的决定,是因为我多次碰到这样的病人。。。

I'd say, "Don't give her anything to fight the infection. Keep her comfortable and let's see what happens; maybe she'll fight off the infection on her own and if she doesn't, she'll die a peaceful death. I don't want to be responsible for condemning my mother to a living hell." I can make this decision because I've gone down this road with patients many times. Recently I operated in vain on an 80-year-old woman with cancer of the liver. There was nothing I could do to relieve the problems the cancer had caused. She was an intelligent woman, without any close relatives, and a couple of days after the operation I sat down with her and explained the situation. "I can give you some anti-cancer drugs," I said.
我会说:“不要给她服用任何抗感染的药物了。要让她舒服,然后看看会发生什么情况。也许她会自己克服感染。如果不能,那她也会死得安详。我不愿担当硬让自己的母亲活受罪的责任。” 我之所以能做出这样的决定,是因为我多次碰到这样的病人。最近,我给一位80岁的患肝癌的妇女动过手术,但没有成功。对缓解癌症导致的问题我无计可施。她是个聪明女人,没有任何直系亲属。手术后几天,我坐在她身边给她解释了当时的情况。 “我可以给你用一些抗癌药,”我说。
