First, we have to understand what is SARS? SARS refers to Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome, an acute respiratory infectious disease caused by the SARS coronavirus (SARS-CoV). It is characterized by a rapid onset, high infectiousness, and transmission through the respiratory tract. And it has claimed countless lives in just one year.
What are the main sequelae of SARS? ?
1, lung infection: Because the virus to the human body's immunity after the damage, may then appear bacterial infection. If the patient's basic condition is good, after active treatment, usually does not lead to pulmonary dysfunction. However, some patients who have poor immunity themselves may have lung infections as a result.
2, liver failure or renal failure: Even if the lung symptoms improve, can be because of a large number of drugs stagnant liver failure and renal failure, but also need long-term treatment, such as doing dialysis, artificial liver, etc.;
3, the production of other diseases: Due to the treatment of the necessity of using The first time I saw this, I had to go to the hospital, and I had to go to the clinic, and I had to go to the hospital. You will need to have surgery, such as joint replacement, or take certain medications for a long time.
That is to say, in fact, the sequelae after the cure of SARS is still mainly due to the acceptance of drug treatment, because the body resistance and certain organs are damaged leading to the loss of other functions, and ultimately lead to a lot of complications.
When there is pain in a small place of our body, let alone such a big pain. Maybe you don't feel it, let me give you an example, for example, a lung infection, the main function of the lungs is to transport oxygen from the air to the bloodstream and to expel carbon dioxide from the bloodstream to the atmosphere. Simply put it is a vital organ for people to breathe. More figuratively, it is every time we have a cold we will find ourselves in difficulty breathing will feel painful, however, you only have to endure a few days, lung infection patients is a long, long time, the degree of horror can be imagined.
And lung infections can still be cured, but when we lose a part of our body, our bones necrosis, whenever the cold weather will have to endure the pain, every winter have to go to the hospital report. Such encounters are even more devastating.
This time, I remembered a report once. The name of the main character of the story is called Fang Bo. In 2003, after having been discharged from the hospital, he was once interviewed by Face to Face. At that time, he had a full head of black hair and a slightly chubby figure, and he smiled at the host, Wang Zhi, and said, "I feel like I'm a newborn again." However, more than ten years later, he has gray temples, disease, life no longer gives him any reason to smile. Every winter, Fang Bo has to report to the orthopedic department of Wangjing Hospital. Because of his bone necrosis, as long as the temperature drops, the pain when he even wanted to take the bottle to end his life. His joints hurt like hell. And he's had more than one femoral head replacement surgery on both sides.
While he managed to survive SARS, he suffered from the aftermath of bone necrosis. But this physical suffering is only a small part of the story. He also had to endure the loneliness of missing his relatives every day. In 2003***, nine members of Fang Bo's family were infected with SARS. His married wife and her sister died in succession, and since then, five of them have suffered from varying degrees of sequelae. And his medical report also showed that he suffered from depression.
That is to say, SARS is just one of the hurdles to overcome, and the physical torture is just one of the difficulties, after which there are more challenges to face.
1. The public eye
It is true that they are lucky to have survived the disease. But the road after that and those fears still need to be faced alone. That year, I had a friend whose family was also one of the suspected cases. His presence caused our whole school to be quarantined for a few days, and thankfully he was fine. However, when he got out of the hospital, he became lonely and the way people looked at him changed. Some inexplicable gossip also began to appear. In the end, he couldn't take the pressure and had no choice but to transfer to another school. He was only a suspected case, not to mention those who really suffered from SARS. They have to face so many people's skepticism and inexplicable eyes.
They are lucky because they survived. They are tragic because they are left with after-effects. They were lucky because the country's help kept them alive. They are tragic because a lot of people will look at them differently because of it too. Leaving them gradually isolated. Think of a loved one of yours who suffers from epilepsy. Thankfully, the greatness of medicine has allowed him to be largely cured, but it is also a disease that has caused people who know about his illness to isolate him, whether consciously or unconsciously. Because of the isolation of his friends led to a variety of self-doubt, thinking that his disease is a burden, and several times made the impulse to want to lighten the life.
So often the influence of social opinion and the surrounding environment is even more frightening than the disease, three people make a tiger, nothing, if there is no timely diversion, the hit is not the disease, but these more terrible than the disease of the eyes.
2. Enduring loneliness is worse than death
Many of the SARS outbreaks in those days were the result of a family being infected, and in some cases, one of the family members was unable to survive the ordeal and left first. Some made it through, but the rest of the way they had to walk alone, and move on alone.
It reminds me of an image I once had, remembering an interview with a SARS survivor "Are you glad you survived?" "No, I wish I had died with them. I know we all put in a lot of effort to survive, but I'm the only one left, what am I going to do? I really want to die every time I'm in pain, but I just can't die yet, I have to take their pictures with me to see the greatness of my country." And this nameless healer did take his family's photos with him and traveled to all corners of the motherland. More than ten years have passed, I don't know if he has fulfilled his wish, I just hope he is still well.
This is also a problem for many patients. Life is hard, family members are not there, but they have to continue traveling alone. Losing the closest relatives, encountering problems can only be solved by themselves, miss their loved ones but can only be placed in the heart, and finally at the end of the day, they still have to continue to walk for their own life.
3. Money pressure
Every winter, the orthopedic department of Wangjing Hospital welcomes dozens of SARS inpatients, with whom the nurses and doctors have been familiar for years. The company's website has been updated with the latest information about the company's website, which is available on the Internet. The company's website is a great source of information about the company's products and services, and the company's website is a great source of information about the company's products and services, and the company's products and services. After suffering from the aftermath of the SARS outbreak, the family relied on her husband's salary as she was unable to work. The family relies on her husband's salary. Although she is subsidized by the Red Cross, it's a drop in the bucket when it comes to the astronomical and long-lasting cost of treatment.
According to a questionnaire survey of 110 people suffering from the after-effects of the disease, more than 70 percent were treated for femoral head necrosis, more than 60 percent for pulmonary fibrosis, and more than one-third lost their ability to work or take care of themselves due to the after-effects of the disease;
They were unable to work or earn an income, and had to travel frequently to the hospital for treatment. travel frequently to hospitals for treatment. And each treatment costs a certain price, which is subsidized but can be a huge expense over the years. All they want to do is survive, but just as hard as surviving is the astronomical cost of doing so.
4. The negativity of self-denial
"Why am I still alive? I'm just an invalid! After all these years, mom you let me die!" These are the words of a SARS patient to his own mother. And it's a phrase he said more than once. Because of the necrosis of his bones, he could not carry out his work at all. And his litter was his world, and his only friend was just a rag doll that had been with him for years.
Her mother was helpless too, for she ached for her child, but there was nothing she could do, and she did what she could to make her child endure less pain. But the child denied herself in all kinds of ways, and the watching mother could only shed tears in the corner by herself. "I've encouraged her more than once, and her mood would ease a bit, but after a while it would still be the same."
Yes, when it comes to this kind of problem, when it comes to knowing that you can't be like normal people. People's emotions will definitely change. And another characteristic of people is that they tend to hit the bull's-eye, which in layman's terms means that the more they think about it, the worse it gets, and they end up substituting themselves completely. This is actually a major factor in depressed people. Because they feel that no one in the world can understand themselves, they have to close the door of their heart little by little and finally isolate themselves from the world. But at the same time they have to face the cruelty of reality, they had to all kinds of self-denial negative, and finally step by step not to return.
Written in the last words:
People's lives can not be smooth, always encounter some twists and turns. The fact that you have encountered various diseases (such as SARS) is not terrible, you must believe in the doctor, and actively cooperate with the treatment. As long as people are alive, there is no obstacle that can't be overcome, we just have to face it, and there is always a way to solve things. Although the aftermath of SARS is very torturous, but as long as you believe in yourself, everything will pass.
It is also hoped that every friend will treat life well and treat themselves well. May you all, be happy and well for the rest of your life.
