PATIENT CARE: DEATH AND LIFE IN THE EMERGENCY ROOM
Book ID/图书代码： 06120017C00002
English Summary/英文概要： A boy is pulled from a river and brought back to life: Will he be the same child he was? A priest on the verge of a heart attack leaves the hospital to see old friends: Is an evening of reunion worth the risk of death?
Recalling remarkable cases - and people - from a career launched in the first days of the specialty of Emergency Medicine, Dr. Paul Seward leads us in his memoir through suspenseful diagnoses and explorations of anatomy. By his side, we learn to distinguish nursemaid’s elbow from a true broken arm. We learn how our breathing and swallowing mechanisms resemble a practical joke.
But when a baby’s heart stops and a young doctor forgets what to do, the situation is far from funny. Within the conditions of great stress and rapid decision-making that are routine in the ER, Dr. Seward shows us that physicians must be more than technicians of the body; they must be restorers of the human. Whether it is comforting anxious family or subjecting a distressed patient to tough procedures - resulting, once, in a patient’s punching our doctor - on every shift, a physicianlearns the difficult work of caring for strangers.
Yet this is a physician who rejects doctor-as-god narratives. He highlights the essential role of nurses and other colleagues, including a pharmacist whose story is hard to forget. Throughout Patient Care, Dr. Seward reflects on how a life in medicine tests what it means to put ethics into practice.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 一个男孩从河里被拉回来，复活了:他还会是以前的他吗?一名随时心脏病发作的牧师离开医院只为了去看望老朋友:一个晚上的聚会值得冒着死亡的危险吗?
保罗•西沃德博士在他的回忆录中通过悬疑的诊断和解剖学的探索，带领我们回顾了从急救医学专业的第一天开始的职业生涯中所经历的非凡的案例。在他的身边，我们学会区分护士的肘部和真正骨折的手臂。我们了解了我们的呼吸和吞咽机制是如何像一个恶作剧。
但是当一个婴儿的心脏停止跳动，一个年轻的医生忘记该做什么时，情况就不那么有趣了。西沃德博士告诉我们，在压力大、决策迅速的情况下，医生必须是身体的技术人员;他们必须是人类的修复者。无论是安抚焦虑的家属，还是让痛苦的病人接受严格的程序——结果，一次，一个病人殴打我们的医生——在每一个转变，医生学会了照顾陌生人的困难工作。
然而，这是一名医生，他拒绝接受医生作为上帝的叙述。他强调了护士和其他同事的重要作用，包括一个很难忘记故事的药剂师。在整个病人的护理过程中，西沃德博士反思了在医学上生命是如何检验将伦理学付诸实践的。(WYL)
