The theme of this TED talk is the amazing story of the father of modern medical analgesia
Summary of the story: Dr. Bonica lived a double life as a wrestling matador and a doctor in her early years. Even won a world championship as a wrestler. He even often toured with the circus.
He helped others, helped his wife who was giving birth in pain, and also rescued the circus animal trainer from danger.
However, many years of wrestling life caused him to experience the sequelae of physical pain at the age of 50. The pain from various bone injuries made him unbearable. So he began working on ways to alleviate the pain. Research gives patients pain relief.
I have consulted all relevant information, but there are very few books on pain. Later, he published a book about relieving pain for patients, which made a huge contribution to world medical care.
His past life and his pain made him a medical legend.
After reading this story, everyone will have experienced varying degrees of physical pain.
Perhaps patients will feel it more deeply.
When it comes to pain and analgesia, I first think of anesthesia.
a). One year in my life, I was given anesthesia and local anesthesia during tooth extraction. There is an abnormally long tooth.
The location is particularly difficult. You can't feel any pain during the local anesthesia, that is, while the doctor is performing the operation, but the pain will be excruciating for a few hours or days afterward. If it hurts so much when the doctor performs the operation, he probably won't be able to continue. The pain gradually recovered after that. Toothache is not a disease, it hurts like hell!
Pain in any part of the body will damage our spirit and make us unable to concentrate on things.
With ten fingers connected to the heart, even if a little finger is injured, it will scream in pain.
b). The second pain was caused by the braces I had to straighten my teeth a few years ago. I forgot whether I was given anesthesia at that time. But anyone who has ever had an operation actually knows that anesthesia is used so that the patient will not feel pain during the operation and the operation can proceed smoothly. Anyway, during most of the half year of orthodontics, I was in a very painful state. For the first week, I could only eat liquid food. It hurts to drink water. I have long forgotten the pain now, but the feeling still remains in my mind. The scar has healed and I have forgotten the pain, haha
c). Not long ago, I also experienced a very deep pain during a gynecological examination.
The doctor asked me to look at my phone to distract myself while they were operating. I didn't quite believe it at first.
But thinking that the doctor had done countless such examinations, he must know how uncomfortable and painful this process is,
So I listened to her advice. They were still chatting, talking loudly about credit card-related things to distract themselves. The long journey of about 20 minutes was finally completed. This is the second pain relief process I've experienced at a doctor's office.
According to the convention of TED speeches, every speech must have a sentence that inspires people, or it must tell the world something valuable. I've been looking for this quote from this speech.
Because the whole article is almost telling a story.
Not long ago, my mother kept saying that her arm hurt. No matter what kind of medicine I take, I have tried acupuncture, moxibustion, Chinese medicine, cupping, and massage to stop the pain. Last time I went home, I gave her moxibustion myself for an hour.
Her condition is the sequela of long-term and strenuous physical labor in a wood factory ten years ago.
When you are young, your physical strength is exhausted, and you will experience these pains when you are older.
Indeed, pain encompasses the past life.
Teachers in traditional culture have said that pain in a certain part of the body is indeed related to family relationships. What part hurts is often related to a certain family relationship.
For example, if a person keeps having a bad cough, the Master said it is because you are always dissatisfied with yourself, the people around you, dissatisfied with life, complaining, and resentful.
Well, when I heard this when I was coughing, I immediately took my seat and asked myself, am I dissatisfied with others? It’s true that I was dissatisfied with so-and-so for a while. So I have a little cough, hahaha
If it is arm pain, hand or foot pain, it may be caused by disharmony and resentment between brothers and sisters.
Untying the knot of resentment may relieve the pain or make it less painful.
Having a headache or shoulder pain may be caused by resentment of your parents. It is not easy to learn to understand your parents. Understand the true meaning of filial piety. It has become popular in recent years that the influence of one’s family of origin is lifelong. The root of all problems lies in a poor relationship with parents.
Having a bad relationship with your father, or resenting your father, will affect your wealth and career.
Having a bad relationship with your mother, or resenting your mother, will affect your interpersonal relationships!
People who contradict their parents will have a bumpy and unhappy life.
People who have a bad relationship with their parents often have unhappy marriages.
I dare not say that for everyone, but I will say that for many people, when they are healing their personal trauma or looking for the root of their life problems, without exception, they trace the source back to their parents. relationship. Go back to your ancestral roots.
So the ancients said that filial piety comes first. This sentence is really great wisdom.
If your interpersonal relationship is not good, your marriage is not going well, or your career is not going well, try your best to serve your parents well. Maybe you will find that other aspects will gradually go smoothly.
I feel ashamed when I say this. I haven't been extremely filial either.
For the past two years, what I have done is call my mother every day. Almost every day, or occasionally every two or three days. Listen to her chatter, ease her mind, and praise what she does. At this point, I did little for my father. I really have to make up for it slowly in the future. I think as a man, my father didn’t say a lot and he was under a lot of pressure. A lot of external pressure, and pressure from siblings.
Today’s medical speech is related to pain relief. When I first read it, I thought to myself, what? It’s so professional. I have nothing to say today. Can I just post a few pictures and take notes as usual? Unexpectedly. I said this much in one breath. And the writing becomes more and more in-depth.
From the pain on the surface to the pain in the heart.
Give yourself a like!
Okay, go to work and move bricks.
