When I was a child, my father
told me that a doctor need to treat his patients
equally.
When I entered medical college,
I was assured that a doctor need to do no
harm.
When I began my practice, I
knew that there are always dilemmas: some solvable, some
not.
I read in the NewYork
Times Dr. Lamas's story from
Boston.
She wrote, "...... I know that
we are overworked and afraid that we won’t have the equipment we
need to protect ourselves."
She admitted, "I don’t want to
spend a moment longer in a Covid-19 patient’s room than I have
to."
She stated that it wasn't her
usual style. She admitted, "Truth is, I am scared."
She and collegues knew that it
was medically right to confine visitors.
But they worried that their
patients were likely to die in separate sterile hospital rooms, far
from anyone who loves them.
Her mood could be read in the
title I’m on the Front Lines. I Have No Plan for
This.
Yet if the pandemic grows
direr, she might go further to decide on which patient to
die.
State documents already came
out that patients with chronic, severe conditions, such as
metastasized cancer, AIDS,
Even so, it does not mean that
most Covid-19 patients would have a chance.
Yet for individual doctors, the
process of making decisions would be tough， torturous.
And， it's
foreseable that not all devastaing family members would willingly
support the decision.
I recalled that last year, a
patient questioned in rage, "If you were I, what would you
do?"
We humans are so little before the nature, and so
bewildered in the perplexing
world.
There is no easy way
out.
Oftentimes, we make
choices.
At times, we are compelled to
dice.
