One day a 65-year-old gentleman let his young physician know that he came for his annual check-up for the last time. Calming the puzzled guy in a white coat with his soothing voice, the senior citizen had the following to say:
"Look, I neither drink nor smoke. Weather permitting, I'll take a long walk, for fresh air if nothing else. I am doing okay. I have no use for this routine visit. Let me come only when I need to. I mean no offense to you or your profession. By the way, I'll keep my Medicare which I earned."
The young doctor walked the senior citizen all the way to his car, wishing him all the best. Then he made a quick search on his smart phone. Here's what he found:
In a 1914 landmark case regarding the patient's informed consent, Justice Benjamin N. Cardozo affirmed that "every human being of adult years and sound mind has a right to determine what shall be done with his own body."
Now a seasoned MD, the dignified mentor always makes sure that all the rookies under him listen to their patients non-judgmentally.
I won't debate that because that is true.Medical science has
its limit and its potential. That is also a fact. The vast majority of medical practitioners, needless to say, are doing their best. They save their patients. They lose their patients. They are human. They make success stories as well as mistakes. When it comes to pandemics, public policies matter more than individual medical professionals. Free and open information, for example, will get you an informed public. An informed public will be better prepared than an ill-informed one. All good doctors are good communicators. Good communicators tend to attract good listeners. Good listeners tend to be more understanding, more rational, and more responsible for their informed consent. Of course, it is easier said than done.

不会感谢未雨绸缪。真有事，早一脸倒霉的去处理了，更不会觉得你的好意。学医和不学医有巨大的知识壕沟，作为病人不能接受医生建议，就要有信命的觉悟。作为医生，要有别人的命是他自己的觉悟，切忌带入太深。 国内上大多的医疗检查，被说是过度治疗。如果为了给病人省钱，漏诊是要被打杀的白衣杀手。无论救了多少人，一个错就是错。所以人人都在站在自己立场说话。 包括我现在也不知道自己想说什么，大约一切都是命吧。
