Clinically, stubborn elderly patients are very common in men. They often have a reason: if it's cancer, I'm dead. If it weren't for cancer, I wouldn't need treatment. With such a set of fallacies, they still go their own way and even refuse treatment and medicine. Some patients are very headstrong. At first, they are afraid of cancer, so they may cooperate with treatment or adjust their lifestyle. But once the shadow of cancer disappears, he often eats when he wants, drinks when he wants, and does not cooperate with treatment. Professor He Yumin suggested in Yangshengtang that if you don't know anything, you should properly disclose your illness to him. Because, some patients know that the disease will converge, because after all, it is life-threatening. Of course, when and how to tell him is very particular. We generally advocate telling him euphemistically or subtly three or four months after the treatment. In the 1990s, Professor He treated an elderly man with advanced lung cancer, severe infection and severe cough. After two or three months of controlling infection with Chinese and western medicine, the symptoms tend to be stable. After the symptoms are stable, the elderly are unwilling to take Chinese medicine or chemotherapy because they are over 80 years old. At that time, Professor He knew that he was grumpy and impatient, so he said to him, "Your pneumonia is not ordinary pneumonia. It is impossible to finish the treatment in a month or two. If it develops into a bad disease, it will be troublesome. " The old man seemed to understand and finally agreed to cooperate with the treatment. Therefore, if the wayward patient doesn't know, we should tell him skillfully. If he mistakenly thinks that he is completely well at this time, he needs gentle persuasion from his family, and to find the right time, the doctor should cooperate with his family to persuade, not intimidate. Of course, it is best to mobilize the next generation of children, especially men, to convince him through daughters, grandchildren and granddaughters. Emotion and reason can often make them progress.
