Today, I operated on a little girl. She needed O- blood. We didn’t have any, but her twin brother has O- blood. I explained to him that it was a matter of life and death. He sat quietly for a moment, and then said goodbye to his parents. I didn’t think anything of it until after we took his blood and he asked, “So when will I die?” He thought he was giving his life for hers. Thankfully, they’ll both be fine.
今天，我给一个小女孩做手术。她需要O型血。我们一点也没有了，但她的双胞胎弟弟也是O型血。我跟他解释这是一个关于生死的问题。他安静的坐了一会，就开始和他的父母告别。我一开始没在意，直到我们给他抽血结束后他问：“我什么时候会死？”他以为他在用自己的命换姐姐的命。感谢上苍，现在他们两个都平安无事了。
