One cold rainy evening last October, as a medical student, I was in a hospital, gathering data
for my graduation paper.
Holding a patient questionnaire1some 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.2, she treated it with consideration. Soon I finished and prepared to leave.3I 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 her4, "My husband died about a year ago,5me the only breadwinner of my family. My pay as a cleaner is6enough 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 communication skills class I had taken years earlier, but my mind was7.
Without realizing it, I had begun8her 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 9from me. She10wanted me to listen. All 1 did was nod my head as a way of showing my11.
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 feel12now. I had no one to13out my problems to. Thank you so much, doctor."
Sometimes patients do not need expensive medicine or advanced technology.14, they just need someone with the15to 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?
