A
It was in my first year of work as a doctor. My mouth was 1 and my palms sweaty. The only thing that kept me 2 was the thought that things were so 3 worse for the family I was talking to.
A young girl had been rushed up to theatre (手术室) after a road traffic accident. I had spent some time in between 4 in theatre talking to the family as they waited for news. The surgeons had been 5 to save her life. Ashen-faced, the consultant (会诊医师) told them the news. I sat with them for some time as they 6 quietly and when I emerged from the room the consultant was standing outside. “I think it would be nice if it came from you,” he said.
I 7 blankly. “What?” I asked.“About organ donation,” he replied. I swallowed hard. Surely this would be the 8 thing they’d want to talk about. It felt acutely 9 and ill-timed to be considering this kind of conversation while they were being engulfed in 10 . But the problem with organ donation is that every minute 11 . I opened the door and sat opposite them, 12 that I was only going to make things worse for them.
“It’s what she’d have wanted,” the mother said 13 I’d even finished.
The father nodded. While I had 14 they might be angry with me for bringing up such a 15 subject in their moment of grief, 16 they seemed pleased.“She was always so 17 ,” her father added. As I left them, it 18 to me that I’d been wrong in thinking it would be an awkward conversation. Nothing could take away the pain of having lost their daughter. Yet this last, final act had 19 them and helped them feel that the 20 of their daughter lived on in this act of generosity.
Strangely, it was one of the most heart-warming conversations I have ever had.
