Listening is powerful medicine 倾听是良药
<p>倾听是良药，它能治愈心灵的创伤。当我是一名医生时，我问我的病人我能为她做些什么，她朝我笑笑说，只要你听完我的故事。而今我也坐上轮椅，我告诉我的学生，不要打断病人的倾诉，坐在床边听他们把话说完吧，因为这对病人的帮助胜过任何昂贵的药物。</p><p><span word="I">I</span> <span word="believe">believe</span> <span word="listening">listening</span> <span word="is">is</span> <span word="powerful">powerful</span> <span word="Medicine">Medicine</span>.</p><p><span word="Studies">Studies</span> <span word="have">have</span> <span word="shown">shown</span> <span word="it">it</span> <span word="takes">takes</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="physician">physician</span> <span word="about">about</span> 18 <span word="seconds">seconds</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="interrupt">interrupt</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="patient">patient</span> <span word="after">after</span> <span word="he">he</span> <span word="begins">begins</span> <span word="talking">talking</span>.</p><p><span word="It">It</span> <span word="was">was</span> <span word="Sunday">Sunday</span>. <span word="I">I</span> <span word="had">had</span> <span word="one">one</span> <span word="last">last</span> <span word="patient">patient</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="see">see</span>. <span word="I">I</span> <span word="approached">approached</span> <span word="her">her</span> <span word="room">room</span> <span word="in">in</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="hurry">hurry</span> <span word="and">and</span> <span word="stood">stood</span> <span word="at">at</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="doorway">doorway</span>. <span word="She">She</span> <span word="was">was</span> <span word="an">an</span> <span word="older">older</span> <span word="woman">woman</span>, <span word="sitting">sitting</span> <span word="at">at</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="edge">edge</span> <span word="of">of</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="bed">bed</span>, <span word="struggling">struggling</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="put">put</span> <span word="socks">socks</span> <span word="on">on</span> <span word="her">her</span> <span word="swollen">swollen</span> <span word="feet">feet</span>. <span word="I">I</span> <span word="crossed">crossed</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="threshold">threshold</span>, <span word="spoke">spoke</span> <span word="quickly">quickly</span> <span word="to">to</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="nurse">nurse</span>, <span word="scanned">scanned</span> <span word="her">her</span> <span word="chart">chart</span> <span word="noting">noting</span> <span word="she">she</span> <span word="was">was</span> <span word="in">in</span> <span word="stable">stable</span> <span word="condition">condition</span>. <span word="I">I</span> <span word="was">was</span> <span word="almost">almost</span> <span word="in">in</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="clear">clear</span>.</p><p><span word="I">I</span> <span word="leaned">leaned</span> <span word="on">on</span> <span word="the">the</span> <span word="bedrail">bedrail</span> <span word="looking">looking</span> <span word="down">down</span> <span word="at">at</span> <span word="her">her</span>. <span word="She">She</span> <span word="asked">asked</span> <span word="if">if</span> <span word="I">I</span> <span word="could">could</span> <span word="help">help</span> <span word="put">put</span> <span word="on">on</span> <span word="her">her</span> <span word="socks">socks</span>. <span word="Instead">Instead</span>, <span word="I">I</span> <span word="launched">launched</span> <span word="into">into</span> <span word="a">a</span> <span word="monologue">monologue</span> <span word="that">that</span> <span word="went">went</span> <span word="something">something</span> <span word="like">like</span> <span word="this">this</span>: "<span word="How">How</span> <span word="are">are</span> <span word="you">you</span> <span word="feeling">feeling</span>?
