Abstract

Recently I had to have a few minutes in my office to regroup after I'd seen a patient. I didn't quite know how to process my feelings. I was feeling ashamed and upset. My patient had been in our waiting room for over 18 hours. He was a bilateral amputee and a wheelchair user. His medical problem was not life threatening and easy to treat but was affecting his arm and so affected his ability to care for himself, hence the need for admission. He was usually normally independent, worked full time, headed up a local charity but now suddenly found himself incredibly vulnerable.

特邀社论--急症医学中的道德伤害。

最近，我看完一个病人后，不得不在办公室里休息了几分钟。我不知道该如何处理自己的感受。我感到羞愧和不安。我的病人在候诊室里等了 18 个多小时。他是一名双侧截肢者，需要坐轮椅。他的医疗问题不会危及生命，也很容易治疗，但却影响了他的手臂，从而影响了他的自理能力，因此需要入院治疗。他平时很独立，全职工作，是当地一家慈善机构的负责人，但现在突然发现自己非常脆弱。
