【Oprah Show】古典醫德!

O, The Oprah Magazine

看到台灣連續幾個醫生,以為SARS救人有功,就該學當政客,一天到晚的跟著裝葱當蒜的,What a waste!

前天在電視Oprah Show上訪問一位18歲高中就參軍的小女兵,到巴格達執行任務,路邊炸彈射入腦中五塊碎片卡住,只有2%存活率,醫生執意要開刀救活了她,而且節目裡又活潑漂亮起來。

主持人把醫生請到節目和曾經只剩半個透空腦殼住院四個月的小女兵重逢。

Oprah問這一位志願到伊拉克年輕又帥的少校外科醫師,為什麼只有2%存活率,還要要開刀?

醫生說,不是只救她,這樣的手術有時一天要做到7、8個.......

因為面對這些為了國家志願參軍年輕人,在他們受傷有生命危險的時候,你心中沒有辦法想,應該放棄他們哪一個........

醫生的社會地位和情操曾普遍受人景仰,其來有自。

學政客,即便是得了一個國父的虛名,孫逸仙博士是讓人遺憾的!

Jessica, a model and soldier in Iraq

When she was a senior in high school in Akron, Ohio, Jessica Clements joined the Army reserves. She was deployed to Iraq, and though she was scared, she was ready to defend her country.

On May 5, 2004, Jessica's worst fear came true. A roadside bomb was detonated near the unarmored truck she rode in, along with eight other soldiers and a civilian. The shrapnel from the bomb shot into Jessica's lower back and penetrated her skull into three different lobes of her brain. As blood poured from her shattered skull, Jessica lay unconscious and near death. Helicopters immediately airlifted her to Baghdad, where doctors rushed Jessica to surgery.

She was given only a 2 percent chance of survival.

Doctors had to act quickly. »

Jessica after doctors performed a craniectomy

Jessica and Dr. Poffenbarger
Though people call her a hero, Jessica says the real hero is the man who saved her life, Dr. Jeff Poffenbarger. Since that fateful day when he saved her life, Jessica has never met her hero…until now.

Dr. Poffenbarger—an Army neurosurgeon—says he performed up to seven craniectomies on soldiers a day in Iraq.

"I had decided when I went to Iraq that we were going to go straight to the wall for every wounded soldier," he says. "We weren't going to give up on any of them. In [Jessica's] case, she had a very devastating injury."

Dr. Poffenbarger says Jessica's condition when she arrived was bad and getting worse. "There was some thought she might pass away right there in the trauma bay, but I thought if we moved quickly, that we could save her," he says.

"I am so overwhelmed," Jessica says. "These are the hands that saved my life."

只是怨嘆不值得...

十次革命換來的,一個接一個的獨裁者,有戀美的,有媚俄的,有崇日的,最後一個阿扁,是自戀的.....

革命尚未成功,民主繼續舞弊。

完全不同的層次,孫博士是想論語治國,失敗的遺憾和孔夫子一樣!

扁總統是輪椅治國,讓台灣獨腳跳的自得其樂.....只能比夜郎國王!

那女生的那真的削掉一塊,真是可憐~

夜遊神譏笑孫逸仙是失敗政客,這個政客的標準是和陳水扁相比嗎?

看不太懂耶~

這位醫生真是令人敬佩, 相信這世上還是很多珍惜每修可貴生命的醫生.

看見那女孩笑容那麼燦爛, 很難想像她曾由死神手裡逃回來, 活存下來真好.
