When I first started working at Arnold Palmer Hospital, always the youngest on the team has to take call over Christmas. So, on Christmas Eve, I got called because there was a young girl, four years old, who came in to the emergency room the night before with vomiting, and headaches, and trouble walking. And when we did some MRIs of her brain, she was found to have a brain tumor.

我剛開(kāi)始在 Arnold Palmer 醫(yī)院工作時(shí)，總是團(tuán)隊(duì)里最菜的要在圣誕節(jié)值班。所以，在圣誕夜，我被叫去值班，因?yàn)橛袀€(gè)年輕小女孩，四歲，她前晚進(jìn)到急診室，伴隨著嘔吐、頭痛、和行走困難。然后當(dāng)我們替她做腦部核磁共振造影時(shí)，她被發(fā)現(xiàn)有一顆腦瘤。

And I remember going into the family's room on the 24th of December to have to tell them that their daughter had a brain tumor, and that it was a malignant cancerous brain tumor. And I'll never forget that the dad said to me, he said, "Will I ever get to walk my daughter in her wedding?" I said to him at that point, I said, "I don't know, but we're gonna try damn hard to make that happen." She had three surgeries to remove the tumor, because it kept growing back. She underwent chemotherapy for over a year and a half.

然后我記得在12月24號(hào)這天要進(jìn)到親屬休息室去告訴他們，他們的女兒有顆腦瘤，而那是一顆惡性腦瘤。而我永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)忘記那位爸爸對(duì)我說(shuō)的話，他說(shuō)： “我將來(lái)究竟能陪我女兒在她的婚禮上走紅毯?jiǎn)?”我在那時(shí)候告訴他，我說(shuō)：“我不知道，但我們會(huì)死命盡全力試著讓那發(fā)生。”她動(dòng)了三次手術(shù)來(lái)移除腫瘤，因?yàn)槟[瘤一直重新長(zhǎng)回來(lái)。她接受超過(guò)一年半的化療。

She's been off her therapy now for six months. And you know, she's actually doing great. She doesn't have any evidence of the tumor whatsoever. She's back in school, happy, playful. And I remember that I told the father, I said, "The only thing I've ever wanted is to be able to go to her wedding one day." He told me a couple of weeks ago that he was planning to have me walk her.

她現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)遠(yuǎn)離她的治療六個(gè)月了。而你知道，她真的復(fù)原得不錯(cuò)。她沒(méi)有任何腫瘤的跡象。她回到學(xué)校，快樂(lè)、活潑可愛(ài)。然后我記得我告訴那位父親，我說(shuō)：“我至今想要做到的唯一一件事，就是有一天能參加她的婚禮。”他幾周前告訴我他計(jì)劃讓我陪她走紅毯。

When that dad gives me a call and tells me to walk Chloe down the aisle for her wedding, I'll probably retire after that, because I don't think there could be a greater high, or sense of fulfillment after that. It's a truth...

當(dāng)那位爸爸打給我，然后告訴我去牽著 Chloe 在她的婚禮走過(guò)紅毯時(shí)，我大概在那之后就會(huì)退休了，因?yàn)槲也徽J(rèn)為在那之后還能有更高的成就、或更大的滿足感。這是真話...
