First of all, we need to know what SARS is. SARS refers to severe acute respiratory syndrome, which is an acute respiratory infectious disease caused by SARS-CoV. It is characterized by acute onset, strong infectivity and transmission through respiratory tract. It took countless lives in just one year.
What are the main sequelae of SARS? ?
1, lung infection: Because the virus damages human immunity, bacterial infection may occur again. If the patient's basic condition is good, after active treatment, it will generally not lead to lung dysfunction. However, some patients with poor immunity may cause lung infection.
2. Liver failure or renal failure: Even if the lung symptoms improve, liver failure and renal failure can be caused by a large number of drugs, but they also need long-term treatment, such as dialysis and artificial liver. ;
3. Emergence of other diseases: Because hormones must be used during treatment, it may cause other new diseases. Surgery is needed, such as joint replacement, or taking certain drugs for a long time. ?
That is to say, in fact, the sequela after SARS is mainly due to the decline of body resistance and the loss of other functions caused by the damage of some organs, which eventually leads to many complications.
When a small part of our body hurts, not to mention such great pain. Maybe you didn't feel it. Let me give you an example, such as lung infection. The main function of the lung is to transport oxygen from the air to the blood and discharge carbon dioxide from the blood to the atmosphere. Simply put, it is an important organ for people to breathe. More vividly, every time we catch a cold, we will find it difficult to breathe and feel very painful. But as long as you endure it for a few days, patients with lung infection will last for a long time, and the terrible degree can be imagined.
Lung infection can still be cured, but when we lose a part of our body and our bones are necrotic, whenever the weather is cold, we have to endure pain and report to the hospital every winter. This experience is even more exciting.
At this time, I remembered a report once. The hero in the story is called Fang Bo. In 2003, after he was discharged from the hospital, he was interviewed by Face to Face. At that time, he had dark hair and a slightly fat figure. He smiled and said to the host Wang Zhi, "I think I am a new student." However, more than ten years later, his temples were gray, he was ill, and life gave him no reason to smile. Every winter, Fang Bo will go to the orthopedics department of Wangjing Hospital to "report". Because of his bone necrosis, as soon as the temperature drops, he even wants to end his life with a bottle in pain. All his joints hurt badly. Moreover, he has had bilateral femoral head replacement surgery more than once.
Although he successfully survived from SARS, he suffered from the sequela of osteonecrosis. However, such physical torture is only a small part of it. He has to endure loneliness alone in the grief of missing his loved ones every day. In 2003, nine members of Fang Bo's family were infected with SARS, and his wife and sister died one after another because of ineffective rescue. Since then, five people have had different degrees of sequelae. His medical report also shows that he suffers from depression.
In other words, overcoming SARS is only one of the obstacles, physical torture is only one of the problems, and there are more challenges to be faced afterwards.
1. People's eyes
Indeed, they are lucky because they have overcome the disease. But the road ahead and those fears still need to be faced by one person. That year, I had a friend whose family was also one of the suspected cases. Because of his appearance, our whole school was isolated for several days. Fortunately, there is nothing wrong with him. However, when he came out of the hospital, he became lonely and people's views on him changed. Some inexplicable rumors began to appear. Finally, I couldn't stand the pressure and had no choice but to transfer. He is just a suspected case, that's all, not to mention those patients who really suffer from SARS. To face so many people's doubts and inexplicable eyes.
They were lucky because they survived. They are tragic because they left a legacy. They are lucky because the help of the country keeps them alive. They are tragic, because many people will have different eyes because of this. Let them gradually withdraw. I think of a relative of mine who has epilepsy. Fortunately, the greatness of medicine has basically cured him, but it is precisely because of this disease that people who know that he is ill have isolated him intentionally or unintentionally. Due to the isolation of his friends, he also had various self-doubts, thought that his illness was a burden, and made suicidal impulses several times.
Therefore, in many cases, the influence of public opinion and surrounding environment is even more terrible than disease. If there is no timely guidance, it is not the disease that hits them, but these eyes that are more terrible than the disease.
2. Endure loneliness, life is worse than death.
At that time, many families were infected with SARS, and some families were unable to tide over the difficulties and left first. Although some people survived, they can only walk alone on the next road and move on alone.
I remember once taking a photo and interviewing a survivor of SARS, "Are you glad you survived?" "No, I hope I die with them. I know everyone has made a lot of efforts to survive, but I am the only one left. What should I do? I really want to die every time it hurts, but I can't die yet. I must take photos of them and see the great rivers and mountains of the motherland. " The unknown therapist did take photos of his family and traveled all over the country. After more than ten years, I don't know if he has achieved his wish, but I just hope he is still very good.
This is also a problem that many patients will encounter. Life is hard and their families are not around, but they still have to go alone. When they lose their relatives, they can only solve their own problems, but they can only keep them in their hearts when they miss their relatives. In the end, they still have to move on for their own lives.
3. Financial pressure
Every winter, the orthopedics department of Wangjing Hospital welcomes dozens of inpatients with SARS sequelae, and nurses and doctors have been familiar with them for many years. For 50-year-old Qi, her husband is a driver and can't take time to accompany her. In Wangjing Hospital, she is in the same boat with a group of "patients", and no one will look down on anyone. Talking and laughing is also comfort. Xiu Lan Xiu hopes that she can leave the hospital as soon as possible, because it takes 130 yuan to hire a nurse every day. Affected by the sequelae of SARS, Xiu Lan Xiu was unable to work, and the whole family lived on her husband's salary. Although the Red Cross subsidy is used, it is only a drop in the bucket for the sky-high and long-term treatment cost.
According to the questionnaire survey of patients with sequelae of 1 10, more than 70% patients were treated for femoral head necrosis, more than 60% patients were treated for pulmonary fibrosis, and more than 1/3 patients lost their ability to work or take care of themselves because of sequelae.
Unable to work, unable to earn income, can only go to the hospital frequently for treatment. Every treatment requires a certain fee. Although there are subsidies, it has been a huge expenditure for many years. I just want to survive, but as difficult as survival is the sky-high cost of survival.
4. Negative self-denial
"I'm still alive? I'm a basket case! After all these years, mom, let me die! " This is what a SARS patient said to his mother. And he said this sentence more than once. He can't work at all because of bone necrosis. And his nest is his world, and his friend only has a doll that has been with him for many years.
Her mother is also very helpless, because she loves her children very much, but there is nothing she can do. She has tried her best to make them suffer less. However, children deny themselves in various ways and see that their mother can only cry alone in the corner. "I encouraged her more than once, and her mood will be relieved, but it will still be like this after a while."
Yes, when you encounter this kind of problem, when you know that you can't be like ordinary people. People's moods will definitely change. Moreover, people have another feature, that is, they are easy to bump into a dead end. Generally speaking, the more they think, the worse they get. In the end, they completely replace themselves. This is actually an important factor for patients with depression. Because they feel that no one in this world can understand themselves, they have to close their hearts bit by bit and finally be isolated from the world. But at the same time, we have to face the cruelty of reality, be passive in all kinds of self-denial, and finally go to the point of no return step by step.
Written in the last words:
A person's life cannot be smooth sailing, and there will always be some twists and turns. It is not terrible to encounter various diseases (such as SARS), so we must trust the doctor and actively cooperate with the treatment. As long as people are alive, there are no obstacles. As long as we face it, there will always be a solution. Although the sequelae of SARS are painful, as long as you believe in yourself, everything will pass.
I also hope that every friend can treat life well and treat himself well. May everyone be happy and safe for the rest of his life.
