kabul

the similarity of life is

irrefutable as a palliative physician

completely out of the frame

usually you expect from

Medical doctors that they have problems

solve that the sick people healthy

make her recover

I aspire to palliative care

a completely different order

I accompany people in one phase

is characterized by incurable kite that is

a medicine with no one

what would like to do his medicine

which is not hype is patient

actually have nothing to do with me

certainly do not belong and even

The doctors shy away from this

field of medicine and yet it is one

area of ​​us all that we sit here

or maybe someday

in our life arc meets where it is

it will be necessary for us to do this

use to make symptomatik better

for the life that is left

to give quality of life

this is something that nobody likes

sets apart

the requirements for the medicine are

with the achievements of the modern ones

medicine has risen enormously

we can replace organs today

i of course we can do that

Temporarily with machines

we can make the long-term

with other organs we are close to it

that we medications in oncology

they create a concrete one

Patients and his tumor disease

are tailored so personalized

drug

It is suggested that a lot

is possible and that life

seemingly infinitely renewable

and yet there is a point in that

everything is questioned

the point at which the question arises is

what is medically feasible and possible

is really what the one concrete

helping patients helps his

improve the quality of life

and that point and that limit was

what you got it like me

was asked

if I write here in his article

want to afford and I want you

Invite me on this border with two

to visit

on the one hand, the angle of view

patient who is facing with

his life and on the other

side view of the doctor

so he is confronted with it

his patient at the end of life too

Everyone takes care of the patient

his medical history is somewhere

a very personal story with

each of you if there is an e-card

and not from elga

has unsubscribed has this

Hidden behind a history

number in the trouser pocket

usually people assume it

if you are in medical treatment

do something well done

will make you healthy again

that’s usually the case, too

The leaf can be extremely fast

turn

a stroke is a brain hemorrhage

heavy skull brain trauma through

an accident or illnesses the

Slowly, dementia comes slowly

you lose or change yours

personality changes cognition

usually no longer the person of the

man before was a cancer diagnosis

diagnostics therapy chemotherapy

Side Effects

you come in an endless swirl

the medical machinery all this

can go very fast and we

displace the possibility us with it

what we are talking about in this

situation really want ours

values ​​are and what we are

important is the medicine has in the

last century of one

paternalistic medicine transformed into

a medicine in autonomy and

Self-determination is very important to us

all as a patient, it is important that

we can decide for ourselves and

can determine what is with us

We are afraid of us

at the end of life on machines

hang hoses and no longer lord

our own senses are in 2015

In Austria 83,000 73 people are

most of them died in

hospitals on intensive care units in

nursing homes

if you ask people on the street

where would they like to die and

I think that’s not the herringer

unlike on the street outside then

say over 70% at home in the circle of

Belonging in a familiar environment

Desire thinking and reality are there

very far apart

If you ask people if they are

already thought what they did

because of this package of medical

benefits at the end of life

want

and if you ask them if they are

have thought about how to do it

that could then say 4

percent of austrians that they have one

Patient’s orders have 96 percent

leave it to chance

what happens if they are not

more can communicate with us again

and can not comment

the reason is usually that we

us not in our health

we can imagine that someday

once in the situation where

illness is getting out of hand and where

illness and the life on the subject

will stand on the other side of the

Doctors in this situation we have

medical scientist learned from natural science

We have learned chemistry physics

deal biology physiology

we studied anatomy and there it is

first became aware that the

At last we are living in formalin

crowded corpses dissected and have

Realizing that people are dying

how is the way there and what we for

have an order with you

Nobody taught us that

achievements of medicine are whole

enormously

Medical knowledge is doubling

within five years

I have been involved since then

I am 25 years old with medicine

cycle already five times

therapies at the beginning of my

education

optical goods are partly already today

outdated again or maybe straight

still self-evident and this

Development suggests it is everything

makeable

it is life that delays infinitely

and in this certainty we displace

the question how it is at the end of life

may want to look at this point

I both perspective

merge what is it now what

people almost in this last

Life stage need what moves you

on the one hand, it is the symptomatology that we

It is easy to master it

Symptoms deserve great fear

but that is not the actual

problem are

we can today with modern

prevent pain therapy that people

We can have aches and pains

alleviate

with little nausea and vomiting

we do not control stress

that’s not the big problem

The problem is because they are people on

The end of her life in her

weakness in the decaying force in

to become weaker and this

Narrow the radius of action to easy

accompany and take as they are

the idea that life

Suddenly ends unfortunately only meets completely

few people have a colleague of mine

once formulated would like to be

if we pay with 90 of

galloping horse rushing and with

People are dead in a blow

to fall asleep and not anymore

to wake up

But that’s not the reality

reality looks different

through the progress in medicine

we are faced with the patient

now this as

chronically critically ill tronic critical

Mass is a new concept in medicine

Often only in hospitals and

are viable on intensive care stations

because you have so much intensive medicine

need you in the domestic area

possibly can not live at all

and at this point it shows how

important it is also as a person with

to explain this similarity

because therapy is always there

where we are medically feasible and

have medical options and where

but also the human and the patient

says i am ready for this price

to pay or I am ready for this

to accept therapy

displace this

this this displace this one

idea and these considerations leads

unfortunately, that we medically quite

can do a lot and often the connection

what is lost to the patient

really important and in the

palliative care we try

to focus on the human being

turn as the individual-to see

which at the end of life the

entire life story condensed

bring people we care for

infinite things from her

life story with the end will be

compresses everything and is sealed there goes

It’s not about judging or being

but people like him

is to accept its vulnerability

and to accompany

That’s why

palliative care or palliative care

needs more than just the doctor or the

doctor

why that is an area of medicine where

the cooperation of the individual

professional and so important

it takes the pastor as well as

the psychologist

it needs the music of the work like

The doctor all have to work together

try the needs of the individual

to perceive people and to do it

accompany

and i want to have one at this point

please pronounce that with one

Make a promise

link the please is sits down with you

one’s own finiteness apart

think about something for you

Values ​​are something for you

important is when the life arc too

ends and communicates that

communicates that with their relatives

again a family member with

friends and hold that firmly one

A patient directive can be a suitable one

place for it

be and the promise so

connected is

it will not hurt you the people

with the life

will deal when it insofar

is

to the great teacher of life

and these are the people who are us

to teach more than in all

palliative medical books

knowledge is recorded

Thank you

[Applause]
