某个周一,我在药店里排队买药,因为我感觉腿部很痛。
On Monday I was standing in line at a pharmacy and was having leg pain.
我不停的揉搓自己的腿,还不能用力。
I kept rubbing it and having to take the weight off from my leg.
排在我后面的女士问我“还好吗?”
There was a lady in line behind me who asked me if I was okay.
我和她交谈了几分钟后,她立刻建议我去医院检查一下,因为我几个星期之前才做过一个大手术,恐怕腿部又出了问题。
After talking for a couple of minutes she suggested I go to the hospital and get it checked out since I had major surgery a few weeks ago.
我郑重的考虑了她的建议,然后去了急诊室。
So I took what she said seriously and I went to the ER.
检查结果是,我的腿部有一个直径5英尺多的血块。
I have a 5+ inch blood clot in my leg.
毫不夸张的说,那位女士救了我一命。
This woman, quite literally, saved my life.
人间处处有温情,当我们发现旁人遇到困难时,一句小小的关怀可能会改变他们人生的轨迹,甚至救他们的命。我就是活生生的例子。
I am living proof that empathy for those around us and saying something when we see something is wrong with someone can change the course of their life. Or possibly save it.
