One cold rainy evening last October, as a medical student, I was in a hospital, gathering data
for my graduation paper.
Holding a patient questionnaire 34 some simple yes-or-no questions, I walked towards a 43-year-old patient who lay in bed alone. I was worried whether she would approve of my demands at such a late hour. 35 , she treated it with consideration. Soon I finished and prepared to leave. 36 I could stand up, she spoke up in a weak voice asking where I was from and why I was working so late in the evening.
Then she started talking about herself as well as her 37 , My husband died about a year ago, 38 me the only breadwinner of my family. My pay as a cleaner is 39 enough for me and my three kids. I don't know what my children would be if something bad happened to me.
I didn't know what to say. I desperately tried to remember the lessons from a munication skills class I had taken years earlier, but my mind was 40.
Without realizing it, I had begun 41 her hand. Now that I didn't have anything to say, I just sat quietly while she talked. That's when it occurred to me that she was not expecting any 42 from me. She 43 wanted me to listen. All 1 did was nod my head as a way of showing my 44.
The conversation went on for about 20 minutes. Finally, she stopped talking. I'm very sorry for keeping you here to listen to my problems, but I feel 45 now. I had no one to 46 out my problems to. Thank you so much, doctor.
Sometimes patients do not need expensive medicine or advanced technology. 47 , they just need someone with the 48 to lend an ear and spare a little of their time. For me, that is one of the best things a doctor can do for a patient, doesn't it?
