2、e shown it takes a physician about 18 seconds to interrupt a patient after he begins talking. It was Sunday. I had one last patient to see. I approached her room in a hurry and stood at the doorway. She was an older woman, sitting at the edge of the bed, struggling to put socks on her swollen feet.
3、I crossed the threshold, spoke quickly to the nurse, and scanned her chart noting she was in stable condition. I was almost in the clear. I leaned on the bedrail looking down at her. She asked if I could help put on her socks. Instead, I launched into a monologue that went something like this: “How
4、are you feeling? Your sugars and blood pressure were high but theyre better today. The nurse mentioned youre anxious to see your son whos visiting you today. Its nice to have family visit from far away. I bet you really look forward to seeing him.“ She stopped me with a stern, authoritative voice. “
5、Sit down, please. This is my story, not your story.“ I was surprised and embarrassed. I sat down. I helped her with the socks. She began to tell me that her only son lived around the corner from her, but she had not seen him in five years. She believed that the stress of this contributed greatly to
6、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 and smiled. All she wanted me to do was to listen. Each story is different. Some are detailed; others are vague. Some have a beginning, middle and end. Oth
7、ers wander without a clear conclusion. 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, assumption or judgment. Listening to someones story costs less than expensive diagnostic testing but is the ke
8、y to healing and diagnosis. I often thought of what that woman taught me, and I reminded myself of the importance of stopping, sitting down and truly listening. And, not long after, in an unexpected twist, I became the patient, with a diagnosis of multiple sclerosis (多发性硬化 ) at age 31. Now, 20 years
9、 later, I sit all the time in a wheelchair. For as long as I could, I continued to see patients from my chair, but I had to resign when my hands were affected. I still teach my students and other health care professionals, but now from the perspective of physician and patient. 1 According to the pas

13、 time in America, living together out of wedlock was scandalous. Unmarried couples who “shacked up“ were said to be “living in sin“. Indeed, cohabitation was illegal throughout the country until about 1970. (It remains illegal in 12 states, although the laws are rarely, if ever, enforced.) Today, st
14、atistics tell a different tale. The number of unwed couples living together has risen to a new high more than 4.1 million as of March 1997, according to the Census Bureau. That figure was up from 3.96 million couples the previous year and represents a quantum leap from the 430,000 cohabiting couples
15、 counted in 1960. The bureau found that cohabiting is most popular in the 24-to-35 age group, accounting for 1.6 million such couples. Cohabitants say they live together primarily to solidify their love and commitment to each other, studies report. Most intend to marry; only 13 percent of cohabitant
16、s dont expect to make their relationship legal. But the reality for many couples is different: Moving doesnt lead to “happily ever after“. Forty percent of cohabitants never make it to the altar.

17、ied couples who didnt live together first). Cohabiting partners are more unfaithful and fight more often than married couples, according to research by the Howard Center for Family, Religion and Society. Other studies have come to equally gloomy conclusions. Still, experts predict the number of coha
18、biting couples is likely to grow. As the children of the baby boomers come of age, they are likely to defer marriage, as did their parents. This will lead to more cohabitation and nontraditional families. Analyst Robert Knight of the Family Research Council agrees the trend will hold for the near fu
19、ture. Until people discover that living together has pitfalls, it wont wane in popularity, says Knight, author of Age of Consent: The Rise of Relativism and Corruption of Popular Culture. Cohabiting has been portrayed with “careful neutrality“ in the media, and Hollywood celebrities who move in and
