It was Sunday. I had one last patient to see. I came close to her room in a hurry and stood at the doorway.
She was an older woman, sitting at the edge of the bed, trying to put socks on her swollen(肿大的) feet. I
spoke quickly to the nurse, saw her chart saying she was in stable(稳定的) condition. I was almost in the
clear.
She asked if I could help put on her socks. Instead, I began a long speech that went something like this:
" How are you feeling? Your blood sugar and blood pressure (血压)were high but they"re better today. The
nurse said you can"t wait to see your son who"s visiting you today. It"s nice to have a family visit from far
away. I"m sure you really look forward to seeing him. "
She stopped me with a serious voice. " Sit down, doctor. This is my story, not your story. "
I was surprised and ashamed. I sat down. I helped her with the socks. She began to tell me that her only
son lived around the corner from her, but she had not seen him in five years. She believed that the pressure of
this caused greatly to her health problems. After hearing her story and putting on her socks, I asked if there
was anything else I could do for her. She shook her head and smiled. All she wanted me to do was to listen.
Listening to someone"s story costs less than expensive diagnostic(诊断的) testing but is key to healing
(痊愈).
I often thought of what that woman taught me the importance of stopping, sitting down and truly listening.
And, not long after, unexpectedly, I became the patient, with a diagnosis of sclerosis(硬化症) at age 31. Now,
20 years later, I sit all the time in a wheelchair.
For as long as I could, I continued to see patients from my chair, but I had to give up my job when my
hands were influenced. I still teach medical students and other health care professionals, but now from the view
of doctor and patient.
I tell them I believe in the power( 力量) of listening. I tell them I know firsthand that huge healing takes place within me when someone stops, sits down and listens to my story.
B. I was about to finish my work.
C. I almost made myself understood.
D. I was very quickly out of her sight.
B. refused to listen to the doctor
C. liked giving orders to people
D. could not wait to break in
