孤独这种流行病吞噬着我们的生命
How Social Isolation Is Killing Us
My patient and I both knew he was dying.
我和我的病人当时都知道他将不久于人世。
Not the long kind of dying that stretches on for months or years. He would die today. Maybe tomorrow. And if not tomorrow, the next day. Was there someone I should call? Someone he wanted to see?
不是那种会拖上几个月甚至几年的濒死状态。他可能会在当天死去。也可能是明天。如果不是明天,那就是后天。我应该电话通知某个人,某个他想见到的人吗?
