据近期报刊介绍,在西欧几乎没有卧床不起的老年病人,这实难令人置信。于是作者组织同行数人赴荷兰、意大利、英国的六所老年医院参观,看到住院的老年病人,每天起床时,由护理人员帮助更衣、坐上轮椅到大厅活动,整天不再回病室,不上床,更没有点滴和鼻饲。西欧人不主张因衰老不能进食者勉强地靠人工方法来维持生命,而是 According to recent press reports, there are few elderly patients who are bedridden in Western Europe. This is hard to believe. So the author organizes several people in the company to visit six elderly hospitals in the Netherlands, Italy, and the United Kingdom. He sees elderly patients who are hospitalized. When they get up every day, nursing staff help change clothes, take wheelchairs to the hall, and no longer go back to the sick room. Do not go to bed, but no drip and nasal feeding. Western Europeans do not advocate that people who are unable to eat because of aging cannot reluctantly sustain their lives by artificial means.
