お話したいと思います

ケアの枠組みについてです
彼らの価値感に基づくものです

生きる手助けをするものです
真実を語るものであり
of my very first patient.
患者さんの話から始めます
Harold, 68 years old,
救急外来を訪れた 68才の男性に
and worse and worse.
悪化していました
that had spread to his brain.
がんが広がっていました
to go share with Harold and his family
ハロルドと彼の家族の所に行って
and options of care.
伝えるように指示しました
わずかな事を実行しました
と彼が言いました
news is it, sonny?"
and we listened and we shared.
分かち合いました
that has meaning to you?
意味あるものは何ですか?
何ですか?」と
と聞きました
and said, "I want to go fishing."
「釣りに行きたい」と言いました
my training in my career,
that had led us to crisis,
今日のアメリカ式生活に対する最大の脅威に
to the American way of life today,
this population, the most ill,
of the gross domestic product --
15%を使っている事が分かっています
take up 15 percent of the GDP.
国内総生産の15%を使っているのです
over the next two decades
高齢化と共に
60%になると推定されます
domestic product

医療だけの問題ではなくなっています
every thing that we value
影響があります
economy and capitalism
自由市場経済と資本主義が
for a minute, forget the numbers.
数字は忘れて下さい

最も多いという事が分りました
死期が近いのです
system on the planet.

医療費を費やしています

上位に格付けされています
every day in my practice,
on your own journeys have experienced:
経験があるはずです
more surgery, more whatever --
何でも沢山
沢山の事を行うと
寿命を縮めてしまいます
良いのでしょうか?
何をしているのでしょうか?
long white-coat physicians --
皆さんから奪い取っているのです
皆さんから奪い取っているのです
あなたの人生を生きるかという
奪い取っているのです
and pathology and surgery
手術、薬理学など
治療できるのでしょうか?
患者の日々の経験が向上すること
across a continuum.
支出を全体的に削減すること
the sickest of the sick --
最も重篤な患者たちを担当しました
腎疾患、認知症です
何をしたのか
at this population differently,
at a different level, a deeper level,
of the human condition than my own?
結びつけたのでしょうか?
通院の必要が無くなりました
never had to go to the hospital?
生活の質を保ちました
and in 20 years is 60 percent of the GDP,
20年でGDPの60%になるのです
by nearly 70 percent.
70%近く削減しました
based on their values,
望むものは受け取り
長生きするのです
限られていましたが
時限がありません
from diagnosis through the end of life.
最期の時までの枠組みです
患っていて
that started in her cervix,
that you hold sacred?"
大切な事は何ですか?」
あなたをハーレーに乗せて走れないけれど
because I can barely pedal a bicycle,
数か月だと言っていました
one day at a time,"
と私は言いました
other chapter of our life.
人生の各章で言うように
where Richard's at day-to-day.
診察をしました
of end-stage lung disease.
うまくやっています
just for the elderly,
高齢者だけでなく
今日 来て下さいました
joining us here today.
and I met him several years ago.
数年前に知り合いました
metastatic testicular cancer,
受けていました
from a bone marrow transplant,
数週間の時期でした
understand -- what is cancer?"
「教えて下さい がんとは何ですか?」
what we're dealing with?
without empowering somebody
何が相手なのかを理解させようとせずに
in who they are as human beings
一個の人間を差し置いて
どういう考えなのか
any kind of thing to you.
何でもできることでしょうが
to palliative care these days
people live better and live longer.
証明されています
out of the New England Journal of Medicine
ジャーナル・オブ・メディスン』に
掲載されました
by friends of mine, colleagues.
同僚が行った研究です

痛みは少なく
would write a prescription for it.
処方箋を出すでしょう
long white-coat physicians
私たち 愚かな長い白衣の医師たちは
of dealing with this,
そう呪文を唱えます
all come to at some point.
至る場所です
is not about dying,
死ぬ事についてではありません
the chapters of our lives,
needs to happen today --
今日すべきなのです
今日の私たちの生活や
and our grandchildren.
and everything we see.
to engage with human beings,
人と向き合い
that we will all face,
直面するであろう人生を変え
shout and we demand
可能な限り最高の医療を
より良い今日を過ごし
確かなものにできるのです
今日を変える必要があります
明日を生きることができるのです
