The last words of dying people. The terrible last words of dying people, which were remembered by Internet users for a long time. Leonardo Da Vinci

A collection of the last words of the dying from a member of the resuscitation team

“If you put your hand on your pulse, you will feel the countdown starting at the moment of your birth. You will definitely die. All your life, if you are not mute, you talk - you comment on yourself. You say words, words about words... Someday, what you say will be your last word, your last comment. Below are the last words from others that I listened to during my five years of working in the hospital. First I started writing them down in a notebook so as not to forget. Then I realized that I was remembering it forever and stopped writing it down. At first, when I stopped working at the hospital, I regretted that I could now hear such things extremely rarely. Only later did I realize that the last words can be heard from living people. It’s enough just to listen more closely and understand that most of them won’t say anything else either.”

“Wash the currants, son, they just came from the garden...” A. 79 years old (This was the first entry in my notebook, the first thing I heard when I was still an orderly. I went to wash the currants, and when I returned, my grandmother already died of a heart attack with the same expression on her face with which I left her.)

“But he’s still more intelligent than you...” V. 47 years old (An elderly, very rich Azerbaijani woman who threw a tantrum that she wanted to see her son. They were given ten minutes to talk and when I came to escort him out of the department, then he heard how this was the last thing she said to him. After he left, she looked at everyone quite angrily, did not talk to anyone, and an hour later she died as a result of cardiac arrest.)

“Did you... eat, .. poison? What the hell did you... eat? What, ...ate, ..poison?” E. 47 years old (Also, probably, a mechanic. Or a carpenter. In short, some kind of drunk with a rare disease for science. His heart stopped when he, standing naked on the marble floor, urinated on the floor. He fell, we began to shift him on the bed, trying to perform a heart massage. At this time, he, gasping for breath, asked us his “last questions.”)

“Potassium...” E. 34 years old (Potassium was the cause of his death. The nurse did not set the speed of the drip and the lightning-fast administration of potassium caused cardiac arrest. Apparently, he felt it, because when I ran into the hall at the sound of the instruments, he raised his head up his index finger and pointing at the empty jar told me what was in it. This, by the way, was the only case of potassium overdose out of several dozen in my practice, which resulted in death.)

“How aware are you of what you are doing? Write to me on a piece of paper how aware you are of what you are doing now...” Zh. 53 years old (J. was a hydraulic engineer. He suffered from hypochondriacal delirium, asking everyone and everything about the mechanism of action of each pill and “ why is it itching here and pricking here?” He asked the doctors to sign in his notebook for each injection. To be honest, he died because of the nurse’s abuse, or she mixed up the cardiotonic, or his dose... I don’t remember. I only remember what he said at the end.)

“It really hurts here!” Z. 24 years old (This young man had one of the “youngest” heart attacks in Moscow. He constantly asked only to “p-i-t...” and said, putting his hand on the heart area, that he was very it hurt. His mother said that he was very stressed. Three days later, the “youngest” death from myocardial infarction was registered. He died repeating these words...)

"I want to go home". I. 8 years old (A girl who spoke only these two words for two weeks after liver surgery. She died on my watch.)

“Larissa, Lara, Larisa...” M. 45 years old (M. had a repeated massive myocardial infarction. He died and agonized for three days, all the time holding the wedding ring with the fingers of his other hand and repeating the name of his wife. When he died I took off this ring to give it to her.)

“Everything?.. Yes?.. Everything?.. Everything?.. Yes?.. Everything?.. Yes?..” T. 56 years old (He stood up without permission to urinate in the “duck” on his own. In this At that moment, ventricular fibrillation began and he fell to the floor. We, the whole shift, put him on the bed. Cardiac arrest began, someone began to “pump”... He, which is difficult to explain, remained conscious for every compression of his chest. As he exhaled, he squeezed out one of these questions. No one answered him. This lasted about ten seconds.)

“When I was flying I saw white lights, however, drink this yourself when your daughter comes.” U. 57 years old (In fact, it was a military pilot Belousov. A charming, handsome and very strong-willed guy. With a complication, he was on artificial ventilation for four months until he died of sepsis. These are not words - due to a tracheostomy he did not could speak - this is his last note, which he wrote in huge letters, reminiscent of the scribbles of a preschooler. He tried to explain to me three times about the white lights, but, unfortunately, I still didn’t understand anything about “Drink it yourself.” “The corpse medicine mumiyo, which they conscientiously fed him at the insistence of his brother, who, by the way, was also a military pilot. I was on duty with Belousov for a month and a half, fifteen hours in a row, I really warmed to him, I really wanted him to recover at night and I couldn’t believe it. I was upset. In the morning, leaving work, I ran into his daughter at the door of the department. She knew me and asked, smiling: “How is he? I brought him baby puree, mineral water, honey...” I frowned, deliberately. He muttered something rudely about being tired after a sleepless night, and quickly ran into the elevator. They say she sat at the entrance for two hours, no one dared to tell her...)

"Come to me! I’ll share the thrill with you!” F. 19 years old (It wasn’t me who heard this. This was heard by one of my friends, whom I met when he worked as a salesman in a music store. These words belong to his girlfriend, who died a few minutes later from a heroin overdose. At his home, in his bed. Later, I asked him if he remembered her last words. “Of course, I will never forget them!” he answered and shared with me.)
