朋友的父亲突发脑溢血住院,溶栓顺利,顺利康复出院。
然而,朋友父亲康复后,朋友心中念兹不忘,满怀感谢的,全是医生。
他不止一次跟我提过,住院期间所有大夫的名字。
从管床的年青大夫,主管的病房主治,手术的专家教授,每一个名字,都使他心怀感激。
他赞叹,医生们的妙手回春,仁心仁术。
唯独,护士,在他心中,是一个模糊的白色背影,常常让他忘记了她们的存在。
那么,在医院,在病患心中,护士,到底是一个什么样的存在?
国外网站看到一句话:If doctors are brain of hospital then nurses are the heart。 大概意思是医生是医院的大脑,护士是医院的心脏。

重症医学科里,一位心跳呼吸骤停的患者己成功脱机,气管插管拔除了,呼吸机撤除了。
这位患者是呼吸内科的一名陪护,在病房里突然倒地,护士发现后立即胸外按压并送入重症医学科。
插管,上呼吸机,然后就是护士日日夜夜的陪伴。
吸痰,气道湿化,翻身,调整呼吸机参数……

深夜,他从疼痛中醒来,胸口像一把小刀在那扎啊扎,疼痛使他喘不过气来,额头上冒出了黄豆大的汗珠。儿女们都不在身边,老伴早己过世,能陪伴他的,只有他自已。
挣扎中他拔打了120,一位年轻姑娘教他靠床半坐着,嚼服家中备的阿斯匹林和玻立维,安抚他救护车马上就到。
朦胧中,有人破门而入,有人给他吸氧,有人给他推药,剧烈的疼痛渐渐远去,他被抬上了救护车。
吗啡的作用下,他睡着了,再醒来时儿子己陪护在身边,这时他才知道,就在他睡着时,心脏己放入了二个支架,突发心肌梗死的他得救了。
