Abstract

Description Death does not thrill me anymore. I am a trauma surgeon extraordinaire! The patient had suffered a traumatic brain injury and has struggled for weeks. He is only 16. Today, the family decided to make him "comfort care." I was at the end of my call, exhausted, drained of all energy. I looked out of the ICU window and saw the fading rain and the city lights. It somehow reminded me of a precious life ebbing away, and I burst into a silent scream. I am still human.

舒适护理
描述 死亡不再让我感到兴奋。我是一名出色的创伤外科医生!病人脑部受到重创,已经挣扎了几个星期。他只有 16 岁。今天,家属决定让他接受 "舒适护理"。我的电话快打完了,疲惫不堪,精力耗尽。我从重症监护室的窗户望出去,看到了渐渐变小的雨点和城市的灯光。这莫名地让我想起了正在消逝的宝贵生命,我爆发出一阵无声的尖叫。我还是人类。
