If you are a monk, please tell me what advice would you give in this case

We often give advice to patients and families in daily medical treatment (internal medicine), so we will consult with you.

There is no problem when you give advice as it is, and then immediately accept, understand, and implement it, but it is very difficult to give advice to people who don't want to accept their own convenience or advice.

For those with the onset of dementia, medication alone is less effective, and in most cases, it is easier to recover cognitive function by building solid relationships with family members.

Specifically, in the case of those who preceded their spouse, relationships become tenuous, and by not engaging in daily life such as conversations with people around them or shopping, it becomes difficult to make mistakes on the day of the week or date, and calculate change of money. Bedridden hospitalized patients will also be like that, so recovery can be expected through rehabilitation. In fact, my patients recovered in 2 weeks when I talked and checked every day. However, even if I tell my family about it, they won't listen to their advice because they try to rely only on medicine, probably because it's difficult to deal with them every day.

If straight advice like me is impossible, I would like you to tell me how someone with a lot of life experience, like a monk, would do it.
We look forward to working with you.

What the teacher gives is to give “don't give medicine all of a sudden”...

I'll quote it and arrange it for you.
“If you have dementia... they say it's easier to recover.
Specifically, it is said that it will be...
It seems that bedridden people are also statistically more likely to become like that, so it is said that recovery through rehabilitation is desirable.”
I changed the conclusion of the word ending to an objective expression from a third party for a moment.
Like the Buddha's adversarial theory, how about it being conveyed in a third party notification type that medical treatment also depends on the other party, and if there is no effect in the medical industry, it is said this way in the medical industry.
After that, it's up to them whether they listen or not...
well...
Actually, I made such a cheap prescription out of tricks up to this point.
Did the teacher listen to this honestly? Aren't you annoyed? I'm sorry.
The teacher dared to stand on the patient's side. That's a great attitude.
Both monks and doctors are good at teaching the Dharma, prescriptions, and output. That's wrong.
Examinations and questions and answers are really about listening.
Does the other party necessarily want the output? To the extent that I don't think so, first of all, I want the teacher to listen to the story and accept it. If I can get along well with my family, I'll do it. Well, first of all, teacher. I wonder if they can listen to the voice, stop it, agree, look seriously in the eye, and make a place to belong on behalf of the family. Patients are there rather than the output of the doctor's prescriptions or advice! You're probably looking for it.
The questioners here at Hasunoha = patients are not all people who seem to cure anything and have been thinking about healing. First of all, there are many people in internal medicine who want their teacher to listen to them and accept them.
Recently, a book on how to be a good patient has been published.
That's good too,
“Teacher. What I'm looking for is not answers, prescriptions, or solutions, but how far my teacher will accept me. It's the size of that catcher's mitt.”
Okay, the answer was late.
was that so? It was really hard, wasn't it? It's fine. I have time. Can you tell me more stories?

nice, simple, straight

It's not as much about life and death as being a doctor, but I run an osteopathic clinic while working as a monk. Of course, they are on site. I'm simple, so I'll wrap it in an oblate, but that's fine. If I think it would benefit me, I'll say it even if the gate breaks down. If you're in the same position as your teacher, I'll call your family and ask for their cooperation. The best treatment for dementia is communication with people around you. Could you increase the conversation and get involved? I beg you. It's unavoidable if you don't listen to it, but I'll say it. At that time, even if there is no response, I think it will always resonate in the bottom of my heart. I am sometimes criticized for being loud or bothersome and harsh. There are times when I think they were probably transferred to the hospital due to my words and actions. That's no good. It's a remorse. However, they are visiting the hospital, including mental care and support. I came to Hasunoha from a patient, teacher, please participate and answer, OK? It was based on that advice. Whether we treat the patient in front of us at the osteopathic clinic or when we receive consultations as a boy, we listen seriously, listen until we can thoroughly understand them, and handle them to the extent of our limited knowledge, experience, and insufficient abilities. I don't think it's okay, but I always try to use optimistic and positive words in my expressions. For example, free load is effective for knee osteoarthritis, but what if you lose weight? It's not, it's still beautiful, so why don't you polish your youth? Losing another 5 kilos will be easier. I'm looking forward to the meal. Why don't you take a walk in the park for 30 minutes a day? A romance might sprout. I would like to say that to a woman who lost her husband. I'm in good shape, and I'm three inches long, but well, I just hope the patients feel comfortable with their mind and body and go home. There was no rambling, and we ended up talking bragging about it. I'm sorry. It may not be helpful, but I think there is such a communication method. I pray for the teacher's success. Jōkō-ji

If it were me, I'd lie.

ECOHDAISUKI

My name is Shakkeishin.

I was able to take a look.

You're a teacher with a heart, aren't you?
There are some things that are quite difficult in Japan,
Religion, medical care, and hospitals are inherently more closely related, aren't they?

Being able to tell the truth as it is also a sincere and wonderful thing,
I think that's how it should be.

I think there may also be a slight change in strategy.

It seems like child deception,
A figure in a white coat, in a court coat if a monk, and in the position of a teacher,
I'm not a teacher, but I'm often called Sensei.

At the time of the funeral, the funeral home will bring your Sensei luggage!
and they can even come close to the car.

It's obvious that they don't think of me as a teacher, and I don't want you to carry a bag with an important dress in it,
That place will lead to an attitude that they are about to take on the challenge of a solemn ceremony, so it is also important to perform a role in front of worshipers.

Positions, roles, and attire probably have power.

I hope you can borrow that power.

Dad and family seem so happy from many hours before they come, and even though they don't use medicine, there are times when no symptoms appear!
It's strange; after all, the strength of the family is tremendous.

Please try increasing your conversation opportunities.
I'm also very interested.

It's like that.

It's a common practice in everyday life,

If you look at it for your family,
These are the teacher's words that are at the center of the situation more than anyone else.

If I had to say it, it's true.

Not all of the Dharma stories can be told as they are.
There's a dramatization in a good sense.

It's not much different from what I do.

 I think that's right. Your response is correct. I think we can get even closer to a solution if not only the patient's position but also their families respond in the same way. I usually work as a caregiver, but my attitude is that it is not the user who takes care of me; it is a “living thing.” I'm also saying it to people at work, so I'm a little drawn to it, but as long as they are monks, that doesn't mean it's only for specific people.
Is that what I keep in mind?

Dealing with illness is life itself.

To Mr. ECHODAISUKI

Thank you for your work.
What makes it difficult for patients not to listen is a story I often hear.
Practicing the mind is the same as our forefathers.

So I narrowed down my wisdom to what I would do to respond to reality...
I think there is a difference in how we perceive the effects of words and forms.
It seems like I'm listening to words, but in fact, there are a lot of thrugs. Since drugs have shapes, they are easy to act on.
Why don't you make a check note with advice written seriously on paper, like a prescription for medicine? It's like a check sheet before making a diagnosis.
For example, we talk for 10 minutes or more every day at least 3 times. And were you able to talk about it, like whether you drank it or not? If you submit a check note until the next checkup as a daily check item, etc., I think it is better to make a check note as a weight for treatment methods.
Perhaps when families have a formal check note, it is easier to recognize that this is an important treatment method and feel that they wear it every day (although it may be troublesome for families)
