We want common courtesy. We want to be respected. We want to be acknowledged as a worthwhile
human being.
Everyone wants that.
I love this observation by Dr. Bernie Siegel.
While talking with two patients who were
terminally ill, he asked what they most wanted from their medical
professionals.
Their responses:
~“Let me
talk first.”
~“Knock on
my door.”
~“Say ’Hello’.”
~“Say ‘Goodbye’.”
“And
look me in the eye when you talk to me.”
Nobody said “Cure me. Get me a transplant.”
They said “Treat me like a human being.”
~Dr. Bernie Siegel
That is enough.
It’s called “Respect”.
