Chapter 426: Social Chain Reaction

Toshimura Omada, a professor of surgery from Waseda School of Medicine, has been hearing a lot lately

The words "White Tower". The medical students under him were discussing, and even when they were talking to people from the Faculty of Medicine of Osaka University at the time of an academic seminar, they also said that there was a crew filming in their hospital recently, and the main actor was still a very famous person, who was the actor who played "Naoki Hanzawa" in the first place.

After inquiring, at first I only knew that this was the name of the recently popular medical-themed TV series, and I didn't care.

In his opinion, TV dramas have always been fake and empty, and it's okay to shoot them for laymen, but once the content involves his own field, he will feel that it is fake and empty, which is ridiculous.

But what I didn't expect was that the influence of this TV series seemed to be greater than I imagined, so much so that at the lecture, some students even asked him face-to-face, in reality, whether there were more doctors like Goro Chozen, or more doctors like Shuji Satomi.

And, he suggested that medical students become Caizen Goro, or Satomi Shuji. Although Toshimura Okita hasn't watched much of this drama, and he doesn't quite know who these two are sacred, but he knows from the explanation of the student who asked the question.

Both of these men are the protagonists of "The White Tower" and represent the two values of medical practitioners.

What can Toshimura say about Okita Toshimura, how dare he say it? You all want to be doctors like Goro Chozen who are bent on status and fame?

Shuji Satomi's kind of idealistic guy is going to suffer a lot in the real hospital, can he say that?

Even if you really think so, you can't say that. So I can only bite the bullet and say that I hope everyone can be a good doctor like Shuji Satomi, this kind of scene.

And, when the student asked what the criteria for a young man to be promoted in the white tower of the hospital, he said just that

"If you can do your duty, save the lives of patients as much as possible, and contribute to the advancement of medicine, you will be promoted."

Of course, such a scene is not very good, and the audience is a little cold. This kind of question is actually very difficult to answer head-on, and it is necessary to be convincing, and it is best to adopt some humorous expressions, which are very challenging for the eloquence of the answerer.

But Toshimura Okita didn't know anything about this TV series and didn't have much preparation, so he didn't answer well, and after leaving the lecture room, he was a little depressed for a while.

When I went back to medical school, I had other headaches. A subordinate told him that public opinion seems to be a little unfriendly to the hospital recently.

The reason is that a female patient was persuaded by the hospital to leave and go home to die when her condition reached an irreparable level.

And this woman, who has neither a family nor a lover, belongs to the saddest kind of disease, and can only wait for death in silence in loneliness.

A group of college students accompanied the lady through the last days of her life, and after the last of her last words was published by the magazine, NHK TV also responded instantly, causing a great reaction among the public.

Some people think that the Waseda Medical Department is too inhumane to kick out such a helpless patient.

Could it be that the doctors in Ben are all like the doctors in "The White Tower", all of them are unsympathetic?

It's true that any hospital has a limited number of beds. There is nothing wrong with leaving beds for patients with no hope of a cure for those who have hope of cure.

Any hospital in the world will do this, and the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare can't fault it. But the general public will be much more emotional when they look at the problem, and think that you are a cruel and inhumane performance.

How pitiful it is for a girl to die alone! At the same time, some media have also raised a question, that is, is there a design for hospice care for patients in China's hospital system?

Why did the hospital fail to do its part, but instead a bunch of non-medical students did it?

Compared to these students, the hospital really has no sense of social responsibility and compassion......

"Maybe the hospital is busy with medical tasks, but I know with my heels that if you are a big person, if you have money and power, even if you are terminally ill, there is no possibility of cure. The hospital is also very happy to let this person enjoy medical care and humanistic care in the comfortable ward of the hospital until the last moment of his life. In a chatter show on TTV, the host pushed his glasses and said,

"Of course, I also know that the real society is not a fairy tale where everyone is equal, and it is inevitable that people with different weights enjoy different treatment, even if they go to the bank to withdraw money, people with 1 billion deposits, and only a few million people, the tea they drink is different. It's normal for hospitals to be unavoidable. ”

However, through the last words of the woman who suffered from cancer, and the experiences of those kind college students, we know that helping a deceased person survive the last days of his life does not seem to require much resources and expertise. It's not that hard. This is not a difficult thing, why haven't our hospitals put a little effort into it? Why is that? ”

"To put it bluntly, the little people are not worth the precious energy of those medical elites."

"It's a ...... The white tower. "What a heart-wrenching statement...... Such statements appeared not only on the show, but also in the newspapers.

When Toshimura saw this kind of remark, he couldn't help but secrete fine beads of sweat on his forehead. The students' actions sparked widespread praise in society, as well as criticism of the health care system's inability to provide end-of-life care.

At the same time, he also realized that there have been so many recent events, whether it is the students expressing their concerns about the hospital's personnel system at the lecture, or the media's criticism of the hospital for not doing a good job in the hospice care of patients, the source is one - the recent hit TV series.

Toshimura Okita doesn't usually watch much TV dramas, and medical dramas are no exception, but now, he is curious about this influential TV series.

"The White Tower" is divided into two parts, the upper part was broadcast in the autumn file, and now the upper part has not been broadcast.

So he specially asked his students if they had recorded the TV series "The White Tower" and lent him the tape to see.

Most people said no, only one of the newly graduated students slowly raised their hands and said, "Professor Okita, I recorded ......" The next day, the student brought the videotape to Toshimura Okita, looking at the videotape in his hand, Toshimura Okita couldn't help but have an itchy throat, and he wanted to criticize this student for not using his energy in medical research, but on watching TV dramas.

Toshimura Okita himself is a workaholic, and most of his daily time is either spent on work or studying, which has made him where he is today.

So he asks the same for his students, hoping that they can give up those meaningless leisures, such as spending a lot of time watching TV dramas, reading comics, playing small steel balls, and so on.

Medical books are also very good, isn't it good to read more about it? But in the end, I held back, and other people's children borrowed your videotapes, but you were beaten up, and I always felt a little too pitiful.

"Okay, thank you." Toshimura Okita took the tape and said. A group of young doctors were eating in the cafeteria at the moment and discussed, "Tanaka, you are too naΓ―ve...... Next time Professor Okita asks you for a TV series or videotape, don't say you have it. Otherwise, this old man will definitely find an opportunity to criticize you for wasting your time on TV dramas......" The young doctor who lent the tape couldn't help but open his mouth wide: "Is Professor Okita such a person?" ”

"What do you think, those of us who are senior brothers and sisters are all lessons from the past. You wait, and when he returns your tape, he will definitely talk to you for a long time, and he will give you homework. ”

"The White Tower? Is this show good? At this time, the young female doctor, who was eating silently next to her, suddenly asked, chewing on the fried shrimp in small bites.

"Good looking. You haven't even watched this show? As a medical worker, it is really dereliction of duty to miss this drama. ”

"Don't you watch TV dramas?"

"Look, but I haven't watched this lately, I'm already at work to the point of post-traumatic stress, and I don't want to watch TV dramas related to the medical industry anymore." The young female doctor shook her head and said with a headache, and then her eyes lit up,

"But the TV series I watched recently is also very good, called "Blue Life and Death Love", which talks about the love between [brother and sister], and I recommend it to you."

"Bad ......"

"Not really. It's not a brother or sister. ”

"No, I don't want to see it."
