Studies have shown it takes a physician about 18 seconds to interrupt a patient after they begin talking.

It was Sunday. I had one last patient to see. I 41 her room in a hurry and stood at the doorway. She was an older woman, sitting at the edge of the bed, 42__to put socks on her swollen feet. I crossed the threshold(門檻), spoke 43 to the nurse, and scanned her chart noting she was in stable condition. I was almost in the clear.

I leaned on the bedrail looking 44 at her. She asked if I could help put on her socks.

45 , I began a monologue that went something like this: “How are you feeling? Your sugars and blood pressure were high but they’re 46 today. The nurse mentioned you’re anxious to see your 47 who’s visiting you today. It’s nice to have a family visit from far away. I bet you really look forward to seeing him.”

Each story is 48 . Some are detailed; others are vague. Some have a beginning, middle and end. Others wander without a clear 49 . Some are true; others not. Yet all those things do not really 50 . What matters to the storyteller is that the story is 51 —without interruption, assumption or judgment.

Listening to someone’s story costs 52 than expensive diagnostic testing but is key to healing and diagnosis.

I often thought of 53 the woman taught me, and I reminded myself of the 54 of stopping, sitting down and truly listening. And, not long after, in an unexpected 55 , I became the patient, with a diagnosis of multiple sclerosis(診斷為多發*硬化症)at age 31. Now, 20 years later, I sit all the time —in a wheelchair.

For 56 I could, I continued to see patients from my chair, but I had to resign when my hands were 57 . I still teach medical students and other health care professionals, but now from the perspective of 58 and patient.

I tell them I believe in the power of 59 . I tell them I know firsthand that immeasurable healing takes place within me 60 someone stops, sits down and listens to my story.
