其实我看到的最豁达,坦然的来自”Meet Joe Black”,Anthony Hopkins所饰演的 William Parrish,Sir Hopkins是我最推崇的actor,不过这儿没有任何"断背情结", Hopkins爵爷说的好,
“I don’t want anybody buying up my life’s work and turning it into something it wasn’t meant to be. A man wants to leave something behind. And he wants it left behind the way be made it. And he wants it to be run the way be ran it…, with a sense of honor, of dedication, of truth.”
不过毕竟是故事而已.
说来道去,还是怪医学不够昌明,作为在生死无间道里两头奔波的人,也只希望以后教科书里少一些primary or idiopathic之类的词.
"Chasing Daylight: How my forthcoming death transformed my life" by Eugene O'kelley
O'Kelly, the former CEO and chairman of accounting juggernaut KPMG who was diagnosed with brain cancer at 53, writes about his "forthcoming death" as one would expect an accountant to: methodically. He charts his downward spiral, from symptoms to diagnosis to the process of dying in this poignant and posthumously published book. (O'Kelly died in September 2005.) O'Kelly's narrative recounts the steps he took to simplify his life-how he learned, for instance, "to be in the present moment, how to live there at least for snippets of time"-and the final experiences he shared with close friends and family. But his story falters on several occasions. O'Kelly provides few substantial details regarding his long career with KPMG; what information he does offer, and his wishes for the firm's continued success, read like portions of a company newsletter. He also refers constantly to his "wife of 27 years, Corinne, the girl of my dreams," but he fails to give readers a sense of her spirit and personality. (She wrote the final chapter, which takes place largely in the hospital as O'Kelly refuses food and water, eventually dying of an embolism.)
O’Kelley的故事是最早在business media上读到的.所附的review有些picky,不过总的评价非常高.也许O’Kelley作为一位成功商界巨子没有钱上的烦恼,所以他更像一位驰骋疆场的条顿军人,在井井有条地安排好自己的一兵一卒后,穿上一尘不染的军装,认真的系好领扣,吻别妻女,一闪而逝.

师兄看过大陆的陆幼青写的死亡日记吗?也是从发病到弥留的过程,非常真实,看完以后,真的觉得自己很幸运,生命真美好!
“我努力维持着日记的美丽,不让疾病的颜色沾染,更不想让死亡的气息把它渗透。”---陆幼青
有空会多来看看,顺便提供点写作素材。
另外给各位推荐本佳作,闲来不妨读读。

真不知道是否在魔鬼地域里碰到过,不过推算起来,你在魔鬼地域当Intern与小组同学狂写病史,大发唠搔之际,我应在二班值班室喝着“复杂的绿茶”,暗自窃喜。我是八八(七),98年到这边,读学位,工作一直到现在。目前在德州的一医学中心工作,其实是德州大城市中离你们Oklahoma最近的。
我和俺太座同师妹一样均是SSMU&RJ出来的,所以你文章中讲的许多人和事就好象发生在身边一样,不瞒您说,我可以在我们知道的人中找出许多原型。我想所有RJ出来的都会想念那段流趟在法国红楼和青青梧桐之中的时光。
祝师妹在三月初心想事成!
有任何师兄帮得上的,言语一句,不凭别的,就凭你当初写的堆积如山的病史,不过在下以为就凭师妹的文笔和风采,当初写病史的肯定是一班医生, Ha… …ha.

本人潜水日久,也读了不少落花的文章,的确不错,有些精品,也曾反复拜读。在下曾在被落花称为魔鬼科室的地界效力数载,虽从未飞奔下楼去捡从窗户中飞落而
下的病史,到也赞叹落花的文采。
对细微小事有细腻的感受,也是医者的优良品性。君问有些言重,这与做不做GP无关。在下斗胆“问君“一句,难道世上女子皆为铁娘子?
公允的讲,落花的文章有些过于甜腻,如同饱食苏菜。不过落花维持这一品味,文彩上佳的BLOG,已难能可贵。

我已经说了,我没有看新闻,没有看到千疮百孔的身体,只是看到了您的一句话,出于礼貌回复了留言。
诚然,我的生活圈子狭小,只是看到了一点阳光,一道美食,一部电影,那个在我身边确确实实发生,所以我写下来了。如果我真地看到了千疮百孔的身体,也许也会写什么的。
这个和我有没有仁心,没什么关系。
您觉得我这里坐井观天,没有见识,我想文学城很多博克谈论国事的。:)
君问归期怎么突然冒出来这么句话?你不要鄙视我,我不爱看新闻,比较封闭,连冬奥会都是在电视机商店看到才知道的。不管整个政治背景如何,虐待囚犯肯定是错误的,战争也许无法避免(虽然作为女人我永远不能理解),但是人权始终应该保护,譬如红十字会不应该受到袭击。所以如果这个是真的话,那对于美国的人权信仰是莫大的笑话。我想我们国家对于俘虏的态度大概算是世界上屈指可数的吧,中东对于美国俘虏想来也不会有什么温柔的。
我说了这么多,基本上都是COMMON SENSE的废话,希望你的问题不是个玩笑,嘻嘻。
东京下雨了,看不到太阳了。
佛州给我印象真好,kk,以后我要是在那里落草为寇了,天天穿VS上的那个花裙子,嘻嘻。
要说强悍,我知道至少世界上好几个人比我利害呢,你一个,熙风一个,探春一个,都厉害的,你简直可以说彪悍,还就地打滚来,嘻嘻。
太 强 悍 , 要 什 么 样 的 男 人 才 能 罩 的 住 你 。
嗯 , 我 也 喜 欢 佛 州 , 一 出 机 场 , 看 见 棕 榈 树 , 就 感 觉 VACATION 开 始 了 。
阿 拉 刚 跑 步 归 来 , 觉 得 腰 又 细 了 几 尺 。
