I guess I could be caught once in a while (时而) to post something I shouldn't have, but I just can't help. Please listen to the following.

When I worked in Aged Care, I once looked after a gentleman, who was well known for being bossy, demanding and rough.

All through my shift, he hadn't been happy with even one single task I had done for him. Eventually, I couldn't take any more and said to him: Peter, what was exactly you wanted? For whatever you asked, I have done my best...
He put on his evil look: Well, have you? Apparently your best isn't good enough!

His remarks just left me speechless, I stood there motionless and felt so powerless and unworthy. Even until now, I still couldn't come up with any answer in return.

What I need to suggest to you guys is it's good to know there is such an expression existed. But it's too mean to pick up, it should never be said to anyone by you. Otherwise, your personality will be tested and judged.

If you, by any chance, happen to hear that being said to anyone, please feel free to put in question how the other person's interpersonal skill goes.

I remember I ever said something about nurse's professionalism. I do believe that being a true nurse takes a life long (一生的时间), it's about being passionate, commitment, being professional, being advocatory (为某人代言) and integrity (正直诚实).

These professional conducts are what makes a person a qualified and competent nurse.  I guess it's needless to explain why it takes passion, professionalism and commitment to be a real nurse, but I believe I have to bring up a scenario to get message across (解释明白) what advocate and integrity are all about.

A clinical educator once told us post-graduate nursing class:
I can't stress enough 从不认为强调的够多 why we need to be a trustworthy advocate for patients. Because while being sedated, they are left powerless and defendless, they could possibly have anything done to them accidently. That's when you, as a nurse, should take on the role to protect your patients, to advocate for them.

Keep in mind that you are here to help and protect the patients, not here to make any friends with anybody who would do harm to your patients. No matter how higher up that person's position is, if you see any treatment from this person could do any harm to patients, please stand up for them by simply saying: Hang on a sec, I'm not quite sure why you are doing this, can you explain yourself?

She continued: Don't mind speaking up and putting on hold anything you don't make sense out of. By doing this, you will get nothing worse than two possible responses--One: you will probably be questioned "who do you think you are?"; two: Ok, here is what I think we should be doing...

I have been very grateful to my post-grad educators, they not only passed on to me their knowledge and clinical skills, also they instilled in (灌输给) me what a true nurse is all about.

By presenting with the integrity and truthfulness, I feel like I am just becoming bit by bit a qualified nurse with confidence and assertiveness (坚持,果断), who is independent of (不依附于) any authority (权威) and bureaucracy (官僚).

Hey, Michelle!

随遇而安--I came up with the expression: Never ask for more than life can offer ...


我昨晚花了三小时, 苦读到半夜四点,才勉强读完小帅的所有帖,发现他无聊废话超级多.
精妙的是能找到不少,但都是借用,引荐,有些不能和原帖契合. 虽然不是原创,但还是体现了他
的帝王大将之风和诗人情怀.

谢谢 @yping88 的翻译,我觉得非常地道而且也简单易懂. 不过我偶尔看到一个美女的签名是: I have no idea how far I will go. Just take things as they come, 也有点随遇而安的意味呢.

Never ask for more than life can offer, 我觉得也可以作为小帅同学最近的一个主题帖的英文标题: 这日子没法混了....所以就Never ask for more than life can offer嘛, 该接受就接受,该去死就去死.
你们觉得呢?

Now, I would like to share with you all about how to deal with the culture difference with respect, which I took on board from two of my patients.

When I did post-grad course in a big hospital, I was once allocated to 4 patients, one of whom was an oversea visitor from Iran. At that night, this guy's condition got so deteriorated (恶化) that he had to be rushed to OT (手术室) with his son's company due to the language barrier.

After he was rushed away, his wife got all upset and emotional 激动难过, and my two patients needed to go to her emotional assistance (平复她的情绪) rather than had their own needs taken care of.

When the visiting hour passed, a senior nurse (Who I always try to keep away from due to her ungrounded pride 没有根据的傲慢) came in, demanded the woman to leave the ward straight away without recognizing her emotional turbulence 情绪的巨大波动 at all. This woman got so upset and scared, but because of the language barrier, she had no way to let out (发泄出) her frustration and fear.

However, instead of comforting her and showing any sympathy, this staff insisted on removing the poor lady from the room without offering her anywhere to go. She kept reminding the lady of her overdue (过期了的) visiting hours and how much the other patients would need to rest, completely neglecting 忽视了 the lady's psychology well-being (精神心理上的健康需要). This poor woman waved in despair (绝望地) and worked very hard to muffle her own cry.

It was that moment when the other two patients stood up to (战起来直面某人) that senior staff and told her in a very calm but assertive 绝然的 voice.

Patient A: Please get your hands off her right now! I'm officially telling you that she is visiting me, and I want her around for as long as she needs. I don't care if I get enough sleep or not, and neither should you.

Patient B: Please put yourself in her shoes 设身处地为她想想 now, just think about what she is going through with the husband in the critical situation like that. What would you do when you only speak your own language in a different culture? I don't expect you to understand her culture, but you should at least show some respect.

At that night, my soul was deeply touched by this two ordinary Australians. What's more important, they raised an awareness to me that we are now living in a country with cultural diversity (多元文化), and every each of different cultures should be treated with respect, even though sometimes certain culture takes a lot (需要很多的耐心跟精力) to understand.


Notice: In the hospitals, the policy goes: whenever the medical emergency (急症病例) is involved, some staff should be always there for the distraught family (心急如焚的家庭成员), and make sure their distress are dealt with and psychological well-being taken care of.
