【听力原文】
Once upon a time, there was a 13-year-old girl whose mother had overcome breast cancer and was in remission. Her mother was feeling a bit off and called her doctor several times before summer vacation. But her complaints were dismissed. Upon returning from the trip, it turned out she was right and something was wrong. 45 days after being diagnosed with lung cancer, she died at 42. That girl is me. I’m tired of the issue in the healthcare system, snatching my mother well before her time. I’m angry, sad, perplexed, but hopeful that as we start to amplify the voice of the patient, what happened to me and my family will never affect yours. The patient’s life expertise is just as important as the doctor’s medical expertise. Only when the two come together, can the patient-doctor corporation truly lead to powerful connection and flawless performance.
