Becoming a Healer Years ago, I worked at a small health clinic in a remote country. I had gone there to treat an obscure syndrome. It attacked people's lungs, causing them to need a machine to breathe. I was trying out a new medication to treat these people instead of using the machine. If I was successful, I would become famous. Everything was going fine until war broke out in a nearby country. Many people from that country fled the hostile invading army. The army wanted to dominate the people, but the people didn't want to be oppressed. So they walked hundreds of miles across the dry, sandy land to get away. Some of these people came to our clinic for treatment. I talked with them and learned of their difficulties. They did not beg or complain. I was impressed by their dignity. There was one woman. I will never forget. Her son suffered from a shortage of food and stomach pain, and she didn't know what to do. Neither did I. I was not skillful at treating lack of food. Nonetheless, when I saw her sadness, I knew I had to help her son. The woman had been feeding her son bread and water. She had an incorrect belief that it would be enough for him. However, I knew that he needed to eat vegetables, too. So I took her outside and showed her a dense patch of plants you could eat. I taught her how to dig up the roots, peel them, and cook them for her son. I explained that she should increase her son's intake of these vegetables. Likewise, she should try to get him some meat once a week to help him regain his strength. I sent her off with a prescription for some pain medicine, but she also left my office with some new cooking skills. This was progress. A few weeks later, she returned to tell me her son was healthy again. As thanks, she gave me a beautiful earthen bowl. I never became famous, but I kept that bowl to remind me what it truly means to heal someone.

几年前，我在一个偏远国家的一家小诊所工作。 我去那里治疗一种不知名的综合症。 它攻击人的肺部，导致他们需要机器来呼吸。 我在尝试一种新的药物来治疗这些人，而不是使用机器。 如果我成功了，我就会出名。 一切都很顺利，直到附近的一个国家爆发了战争。 那个国家的许多人逃离了敌对的侵略军。 军队想要统治人民，但人民不想受压迫。 所以他们走了几百英里，穿过干燥的沙地逃走了。 其中一些人来我们诊所接受治疗。 我和他们交谈，了解到他们的困难。 他们没有乞求，也没有抱怨。 他们的尊严给我留下了深刻的印象。 有一个女人。我永远不会忘记。 她的儿子食物短缺，胃痛，她不知道该怎么办。 我也不知道。我不善于处理食物缺乏的问题。 尽管如此，当我看到她的悲伤，我知道我必须帮助她的儿子。 这位妇女一直在给儿子喂面包和水。 她错误地认为这对他来说就足够了。 然而，我知道他也需要吃蔬菜。 所以我把她带到外面，给她看了一片茂密的植物，你可以吃。 我教她如何挖根、削皮，然后煮给她儿子吃。 我向她解释说，她应该增加儿子对这些蔬菜的摄入量。 同样，她应该试着每周给他吃一次肉，帮助他恢复体力。 我给她开了一些止痛药的处方，但她也带着一些新的烹饪技巧离开了我的办公室。 这就是进步。几周后，她回来告诉我她儿子恢复健康了。 作为感谢，她送给我一个漂亮的陶碗。 我从未成名，但我保留着那只碗，提醒我什么是治愈别人的真正意义。
