What is the most important thing in life? 生活中什么最重要？ 获得57.1k好评的回答@Dushka Zapata： A few years ago, after exhibiting a rather odd assortment of symptoms, I went to see a doctor. 几年前，我发现自己有些奇怪症状，就去看医生。 15 minutes later I was diagnosed with a progressive, painful, long term, incurable disease that affects, among other things, your internal organs (like the heart and lungs) and is one of the leading causes of complete disability in the United States. (“But, are you certain?” I asked. “Pretty much”, he replied. “I’m sorry”.) 15分钟以后，我被诊断出得了一种无法治愈的慢性病，会逐渐加重，让人痛苦。除了其他影响之外，这种病还会影响人的内脏器官（如心脏和肺），是美国导致全身瘫痪的主要原因之一（我问：“你确定吗？”，他回答说：“很确定，抱歉。”）。 The side effects of the medication prescribed to control the symptoms (such as liver damage) left me questioning if the treatment was worse than the disorder. Not taking the medication early leads to irreversible damage and deformity. 控制症状所需的药物治疗的副作用（如肝损伤）使我怀疑治疗会比不治更严重，而不早用药又会造成不可逆损伤和畸形。 Have you ever felt a full-blown panic attack? Heart beating out of your chest, shaky hands, a stress-induced fever? I felt like that every second of the following four days. I couldn’t sleep more than two hours at a time. I lost half a pound a day. |
