章节摘录

　　His Lifes Work　　For nearly three decades Ive practiced medicine， treating and studying cancer， blood diseases，HIV and hepatitis C. During much of that time， I did not consider the impact of hope on my patients illnesses. In fact， the fairy-tale claims about hope caused me to flee from the subject. Then something happened that changed my attitude forever.　　On a summer evening in 1987， I went to the hospital to visit an ill colleague. George Griffin - Har-vard professor， revered and beloved chairman of our department of pathology had been diagnosed with stomach cancer， the worst type that one can have. In cases like his， only two to three percent of patients live six months. At nine months， survival is less than one percent. The bitter irony was that stomach cancer was the disease that George had made his lifes work. No one knew more about the malignancy and its dire prognosis than he.　　Nonetheless， George had insisted on receiving aggressive treatment combining high doses of chemo-therapy with intensive radiation， despite the absence of evidence that such toxic therapy could　　change the fatal outcome of a cancer as advanced as his. It was clear his treatment risked hastening his demise， or at least robbing him of the last tranquil days at home with his family and friends. I would not ordinarily treat a patient with Georges prognosis this way.　But I was not consulting on his case.　　I entered Georges room.　The sheets were drawn to his neck. His eyes were closed and sunken， his skin ashen， his lips blackened from dried blood in deep ulcers.　For a moment， I wondered if he had died.　Then he slowly turned his head and noticed me. With tears in his eyes，George struggled to speak.　　"Dont talk，" I said. His eyes closed in assent. George had suffered a severe side effect of the treatment； essentially the delicate lining tissue from his lips to his rectum was scorched， ulcerated and bleeding. I spent a few minutes with him， and as I departed， I thought how I would usually offer a patient words of encouragement， saying how vital it was to keep fighting against the cancer. I knew that in some cases if the patient could endure the harsh treatment， the cancer might be eradicated.　But in Georges case， such words seemed hollow.　So instead I left with platitudes， saying how much everyone missed him， how we all were thinking of him and hoping that soon he might find some relief.　　For days I could not get George out of my mind.　I sought to replace the awful images from my last visit with memories of George Griffin in full health.
