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!”
我在一家专做激光视力矫正手术的眼科诊所工作。在做一个手术前,那个病人害怕得直发抖。不论我说什么都不能使她平静。在医生做完她的左眼手术以后,我想让她知道手术进行得很顺利,就拍拍她的手,安慰她说:“现在你只剩一只眼睛了。”
