I believe listening is powerful Medicine.
Studies have shown it takes a physician about 18 seconds to interrupt a patient after he begins talking.
It was Sunday. I had one last patient to see. I approached her room in a hurry and stood at the doorway. She was an older woman, sitting at the edge of the bed, struggling to put socks on her swollen feet. I crossed the threshold, spoke quickly to the nurse, and scanned her chart noting she was in stable condition. I was almost in the clear.
I leaned on the bedrail looking down at her. She asked if I could help put on her socks. Instead, I launched into a monologue that went something like this: "How are you feeling? Your sugars and blood pressure were high but they’re better today. The nurse mentioned you’re anxious to see your son who’s visiting you today. It’s nice to have family visit from far away. I bet you really look forward to seeing him."
She stopped me with a stern, authoritative voice. "Sit down, please. This is my story, not your story."
I was surprised and embarrassed. 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 stress of this contributed 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.
Each story is different. Some are detailed; others are vague. Some have a beginning, middle and end. Others wander without a clear conclusion. Some are true; others not. Yet all those things do not really matter. What matters to the storyteller is that the story is heard-without interruption, assumption or judgment.
Listening to someone’s story costs less than expensive diagnostic testing but is the key to healing and diagnosis.
I often thought of what that woman taught me, and I reminded myself of the importance of stopping, sitting down and truly listening. And, not long after, in an unexpected twist, I became the patient, with a diagnosis of multiple sclerosis (多发性硬化) 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 resign when my hands were affected. I still teach my students and other health care professionals, but now from the perspective of physician and patient.
According to the passage, the older woman in this passage seem lack
选项
A、medical care.
B、careful nursing.
C、family warmth.
D、earnest audience.
答案
C
解析
根据题干及各选项内容定位到第6段。该段指出,老妇人的独生儿子就住在离她家不远处,但她已经5年没有见过他了,而且她还认为这一点对她的健康产生了影响。由此可推断,老妇人缺少儿子的探视,也就是缺少家人的关心。故C正确。A、B无原文依据,可排除。D(热心的听众)颇具干扰性,因为第7段提到“她要我做的事就是听她讲”,但只要联系到老妇人5年未见儿子并急切地想见到儿子的心情便可看出,D不如C符合文意,故可排除。
