In the doorway, I saw she was struggling (挣扎) to put socks on her swollen (浮肿)feet in the bed. I stepped in, spoke quickly to the nurse, read her chart noting. I was almost in the clear that she was not in serious condition.I asked, “Could I help put on your socks? How are you feeling? Your sugars and blood pressure were high but theyre better today. The nurse mentioned youre anxious to see your son. Hes visiting you today. Its nice to have a family visit. I think you really look forward to seeing him.Sit down, doctor. This is my story, not yours. She said with a serious voice.I was surprised as I helped her with the socks. She told me that her only son lived around the corner from her, but she had not seen him in five years. She believed that was the main cause of her health problems. After hearing her story and putting on her socks, I asked if there was anything else I could do for her. She shook her head no and smiled. All she wanted me to do was to listen.Each story is different. Some are detailed; others are simple. Some have a beginning, middle and end; others dont have clear ends. Some are true; others not. Yet all those things do not really matter. What matters to the storyteller is that the story is heard without interruption(打断) or judgment(评价).It was that woman who taught me the importance of stopping, sitting down and truly listening. And, not long after, in an unexpected accident, I became a patient. 20 years later, I sit all the time in a wheelchair.For as long as I could, I continued to see patients from my chair.

Not a problem! Throw on some running shoes and comfortable clothes and go for a run.One of the coolest things about the sport of running is that you dont need expensive equipment(装备). All you need is a good pair of running shoes and a safe environment. But just because you dont need much equipment dont be fooled into thinking the sport of running is easy. No one wakes up and decides to run a marathon without training.Running makes your heart, lungs, and muscles stronger. It makes you know more about your body. Running also gives you energy by increasing your oxygen(氧气) intake, so you dont get sick easily. It can even help you keep your mind on school work because exercise helps you to think more clearly.How do you take part in the sport if you dont know much about it? Most schools offer cross-country and track programs, but there are also running clubs open to all ages. A simple Internet search can help you find some in your area. The programs show you how running can offer competition or just be for fun. They also teach runners to set realistic goals and take care of their bodies.Runners have great respect for each other because they know how difficult the sport can be. If you go to a race, youll see people cheering for all the runners, from the first place finisher to the last place finisher. Running isnt always about how fast you are or how far youre going.
