痛苦與折磨‧Pain and Suffering

從床頭燈的光照亮心電監護儀的真相，
溫暖的橙色光芒就這樣眼睜睜
噢，尖叫一直在那裡
然而，沒有人注意到一直在運行的儀器
直到該路徑變暗灰色，眼淚流下來，哭到麻木了，一聲聲再見。
這是結束，
                    結束。

The shone from the bed lamp did only reveal the truth of the cardiac monitor,
Warm orange light so helplessly
O screaming was there all along
Yet not noticed until the box rolled along
The path was darkening grey as drifting tears cried and cried in numbness by multiple goodbyes.
It was THE Ending,
                    The end. 

是否因為醫生和護士太忙，他們走幾步去看看自己的病人最後一次都不可以？難道我們的關懷與結束在死亡證明書的底部簽名？此外，痛苦和折磨具有傳染性。當我們和病人相處，我們可以感受到他們的感受，而當他們去世，我們也能感受到他們的親人正在經歷的。但是，為什麼我們沒有面對它的勇氣？為什麼我們沒有表達這種感覺的勇氣？為什麼我們回過頭來簽署死亡證明後，立即終止我們的關懷？我們為什麼不陪伴病故者走最後的路，關懷心碎的人？

 

Are doctors and nurses so busy that they wouldn’t even take a walk, seeing their patient off one last time? Does our care ends with a signature at the bottom of the death certificate?  Furthermore, pain and suffering ARE infectious. When we deal with our patients, we can feel what they are feeling, and when they pass away, we too can feel what their love ones are experiencing. But why don’t we have the courage to face it? Why don’t we have the courage to express this feeling as well? Why do we have to turn around and terminate our care immediately after signing the death certificate? Why don’t we take the last walk with our deceased patient, and offer warm caring words to the heart broken love ones?
