今が生死

今日の午後８８歳の女性患者さんを看取った。大動脈狭窄症と大動脈解離からの心不全と、末梢動脈梗塞で左足のゆびが壊疽になり切断したあとの足の痛みに約1年苦しめられてきた。本人が一番苦しかったと思うが、家族も看護者も辛かった。本人と家族よくここまで耐えてきたと敬服する。

We took care of 84 years old woman patient this afternoon. She suffered by
congestive heart failure as she had an aortic valve stenosis and the aortic
dissection, and has also suffered left leg pain because of the
amputation of the left toes which had become necrotic due to distal
arterial embolism for about one year.
Her family and medical staff were also in severe pain. I respect the
patient and her family because they have
tolerated very big pains for a long time.
