Many of us learn valuable lessons from our patients. I was 36 to learn one early in my career as a nurse. I have 37 her name, but she has influenced the way I treat many other patients.
I was working the 3-11 pm shift at a small hospital at that time. The patient was a 42-year-old woman who had 38 a heart attack. She was expected to stay in 39 for about two weeks before being sent home. She was 40 that she could not see her three young children. We did not 41 children into a hospital in those days.
Every evening, we would 42 our children. I had one daughter and I loved her so much that I could not 43 not seeing her every day. The patient was getting 44 and we both knew it wouldn’t be long before she would be home 45 her little ones again.
About a week later, she 46 me to sit with her for a while. I held her hand and she told me she was 47 and thought she might not see her kids again. I tried to let her know that her 48 so far had been great. It was 10:30 pm, almost time for the 49 of my work. I told her I had to hand in my 50 and that I would come back to her room.
Then I 51 with my friends. It wasn’t until I had got home that I realized I had forgotten to keep my promise. “That’s OK,” I thought, “I will spend 52 time with her tomorrow.”
The next day I was told that she had 53 at midnight. She wanted company and I let her down. She left the world quietly. If I had stayed in her room, would she be home surrounded by her 54 right now? I would never know. What I do know is this: I have 55 every patient’s request since that night.

In the old days, children were familiar with birth and death as part of life. Now this is perhaps the first generation of American youngsters who have never been close by during of the birth a baby and have never experienced the death of a family member.
Nowadays when people grow old, we often send them to nursing homes. When they get sick, we send them to a hospital, where children are forbidden to visit terminally (晚期的)in patients— even when those patients are their parents. This deprives(剥夺)the dying patient of family members during the last few days of his life and it deprives the children of an experience of death, which is an important learning experience.
Some of my colleagues and I once interviewed and followed about 500 terminally in order to find out what they could teach us and how we could be of more benefit, not just to them but to the members of their families as well. We were most impressed by the fact that even those patients who were not told of their serious illness were quite aware of its potential outcome.
It is important for family members, and doctors and nurses to understand these patients’ communication in order to truly understand their needs, fears and fantasies . Most of our patients welcomed another human being with whom they could talk openly, honestly, and frankly about their trouble. Many of them shared with us their great need to be informed, to be kept up - to - date on their medical condition and to be told when the end was near. We found out that patients who had been dealt with openly and frankly were better able to cope with the coming of death and finally to reach a true stage of acceptance before death.
