I work in an ophthalmology practice that specializes in LASIK surgery. Prior to one operation, the patient was so frightened that she was actually shaking. Nothing I said seemed to calm her. After the doctor finished operating on her left eye, I wanted her to know the surgery was going well. “There,” I said, patting her hand reassuringly. “Now you only have one eye left!”
我在一家專做激光視力矯正手術(shù)的眼科診所工作。在做一個手術(shù)前,那個病人害怕得直發(fā)抖。不論我說什么都不能使她平靜。在醫(yī)生做完她的左眼手術(shù)以后,我想讓她知道手術(shù)進行得很順利,就拍拍她的手,安慰她說:“現(xiàn)在你只剩一只眼睛了。”
