There were no relatives or friends with her.the bed beside her was empty. After I finished my work, I was about to leave when Ms A spoke in hervoice . “I haven’t seen you here before, doctor. Are you?” Not really. It’s just that I don’t come here every day,” I replied. I wassomeone in her condition would want to talk. Ms A started talking about. She told me that she had three children in primary school, who werea neighbor. “ My husbanda year ago and I’m the only breadwinner of my family. We are not rich and myas a cleaner is exactly enough for me and my kids.” I just sat quietly while she talked. Sheher difficulties and sufferings, and her struggles to earn money. She also expressed her fear about what wouldher children if something bad happened to her. Finally, Ms A stopped talking with “I’m very sorry for keeping you here listening to my problems, but I feelnow. I had no one to pour out myto.” A single tear fell down the corner of her eye. A few days later, when I returned to the ward(病房), I discovered that Ms A had left as herhad improved. Ms A taught me one of the most important lessons a doctor can learn. Sometimes patients don’t need expensive medicine or state-of-the-art technology. They just need someone with theand willingness to lent 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.
