One cold, rainy evening last October, I was in the hospital collecting medical records. A 43-year-old      , whom I will call Ms A, was lying in bed. There were no relatives or friends with her.     the bed beside her was empty.

After I finished my work, I was about to leave when Ms A spoke in her      voice . “I haven’t seen you here before, doctor. Are you     ?” Not really. It’s just that I don’t come here every day,” I replied. I was      someone in her condition would want to talk.

Ms A started talking about      . She told me that she had three children in primary school, who were      a neighbor. “ My husband     a year ago and I’m the only breadwinner of my family. We are not rich and my      as a cleaner is exactly enough for me and my kids.”

I just sat quietly while she talked. She      her difficulties and sufferings, and her struggles to earn money. She also expressed her fear about what would      her children if something bad happened to her.

Finally, Ms A stopped talking with “I’m very sorry for keeping you here listening to my problems, but I feel      now. I had no one to pour out my      to.” A single tear fell down the corner of her eye.

A few days later, when I returned to the ward(病房), I discovered that Ms A had left as her      had improved.

Ms A taught me one of the most important lessons a doctor can learn. Sometimes patients don’t need expensive medicine or state-of-the-art technology. They just need someone with the      and willingness to lent 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.
