It looked like I am far from competent in both diagnosing diseases and providing cares to our patients. I have to confess that yesterday I did not behave like a good person, when I went to a elderly lady who looked so ill. Well, the sign on her neck was rare but very spectacular that medical students and doctors in a distance of two meters can notice, thus giving a correct diagnosis. Therefore, with a kind heart I led some of my friends to her as well, examining her neck.
At this time, her husband came bringing some meals and soups. Seeing a bunch of white-coats around her wife, he was more than happy. Maybe that time he thought we were doctors trying to help. Maybe that time he thought that his lovely wife became better. Maybe.
He said we were a group of kind people. (你地真係有心)
But we are not. She did not get better neither. Next day she died with natural courses.
The bed she occupied was emptied. And it left also a hollow in my heart. I was not doing enough to support her and her husband. I asked myself: What have I become in this year five, when I supposed to learn to become a caring doctor? Everyday we went to the wards for signs but not patients. Doctors said it is right because it led us to pass. But as the incident comes, I could not doubt more about it.
So I now know what really have to do: to give some human touches to the people around me.
