Класне фото, яке зробив мій колега анестезіолог Євген Мельник під час операції. Скільки апаратури, технологій і знань потрібно, щоб прооперувати серце одному пацієнтові! І ще скільки залишається за кадром! Ми всі зав'язані в один вузол, анестезіологи, сестри, хірурги, перфузіологи, реанімація, кардіологи. У вузол, який відповідає за безпечність пацієнта і результат.
Мені відразу пригадалася історія про пілота В'єтнамської війни "Хто пакує твій парашут?" (Who’s Packing Your Parachute?). Ця історія обійшла весь світ. Перший раз я почув її на конгресі в Cairns, 2009 в доповіді президента Congenital Heart Surgeons' Society Christo I. Tchervenkov, кардіохірурга з Канади. В цій історії багато паралелей, кожен має право трактувати її по-своєму. Для мене - це історія про моїх колег і їхню високу професійність. Історія вартує того, щоб почути її в оригіналі.
Сharles Plumb was a US Navy jet pilot in Vietnam. After 75 combat missions, his plane was destroyed by a surface-to-air missile. Plumb ejected and parachuted into enemy hands. He was captured and spent 6 years in a communist Vietnamese prison. He survived the ordeal and now lectures on lessons learned from that experience!
One day, when Plumb and his wife were sitting in a restaurant, a man at another table came up and said, ' You're Plumb! You flew jet fighters in Vietnam from the aircraft carrier Kitty Hawk. You were shot down! 'How in the world did you know that?' asked Plumb. 'I packed your parachute,' the man replied. Plumb gasped in surprise and gratitude. The man pumped his hand and said, 'I guess it worked!' Plumb assured him, 'It sure did. If your chute hadn't worked, I wouldn't be here today.'
Plumb couldn't sleep that night, thinking about that man. Plumb thought of the many hours the sailor had spent at a long wooden table in the bowels of the ship, carefully weaving the shrouds and folding the silks of each chute, holding in his hands each time the fate of someone he didn't know.
Now, Plumb asks his audience, 'Who's packing your parachute?' Everyone has someone who provides what they need to make it through the day. He also points out that he needed many kinds of parachutes when his plane was shot down over enemy territory - he needed his physical parachute, his mental parachute, his emotional parachute, and his spiritual parachute. He called on all these supports before reaching safety.
