I believe listening is powerful medicine.
It was Sunday.I had the last patient (病人) to see and I got into her room.She was an old woman,sitting on the bed1 her socks.I said, "How are you feeling?The nurse says your2 is visiting you today.I'm sure you'll be happy to see him."
She3 me with a serious voice, "Sit down,doctor.This is my story
I was surprised.She began to tell me that her only son lived not far from her,4 she had not seen him for five years.She believed5 health problems were worse because of missing her son.After hearing her story and helping her put on her socks,I asked if there was anything I could do for her.She said "No." and smiled.All she wanted me to do was to6 .
Each story is7 .Some are clear.Others are not.But all those things do not really8 .What matters to the storyteller is that the story is heard.
Listening to someone's story is easy but it is9 the key to healing (复原).I always tell myself the10 of stopping,sitting down and truly listening.I believe in the power of listening.
