One day, I went to see my last patient, an old woman. In the doorway, I saw she was trying to put socks on her feet. I stepped in and spoke quickly to the nurse. 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 they are better today. The nurse mentioned you’re anxious to see your son. He’s visiting you today. It’s 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 in a serious voice.

I was surprised as I helped her with the socks. She told me that her only son lived around the comer from her, but she had not seen him in five years.

For as long as I could. I continued to see patients from my chair. I believe in the power of listening.
