A
Studies have shown it takes a physician about 18 seconds to interrupt a patient after he begins talking.
It was Sunday. I had one last patient to see. I approached her room in a hurry and stood at the doorway. She was an old woman, sitting at the edge of the bed, struggling to put socks on her swollen feet. I entered the room, spoke quickly to the nurse, and scanned her chart, noting she was in stable condition. I was almost in the clear.
I stood by the bed looking down at her. She asked if I could help put on her socks. Instead, I started a monologue(独白) that went something like this: “How are you feeling? Your sugars and blood pressure were high but they’re better today. The nurse mentioned you’re anxious to see your son who’s visiting you today. It’s nice to have a family visit from far away. I bet you really look forward to seeing him.”
She stopped me with a firm, authoritative voice. “Sit down, doctor. This is my story, not your story.”
I felt all my blood was rushing to my head. I sat down. I helped her with the socks. She began to tell me that her only son lived around the corner from her, but she had not seen him in five years. She believed that the stress of this contributed greatly to her health problems. After hearing her story, I asked if there was anything else I could do for her. She shook her head and smiled. All she wanted me to do was to listen.

Not long after, I lost a leg in an accident. Now, 20 years later, I sit all the time—in a wheelchair. For as long as I can, I continue to see patients from my chair and teach medical students and other health care professionals, but now from the viewpoint of a physician and patient.

GREENWICH—Recently, a group of concerned Greenwich residents gathered to discuss how they could help ease those who may be without during the holiday season. Armed with plenty of ideas and a sincere desire to do good, this group now refers to themselves as “A Random Act of Kindness”. As members of this group, we are to put together a Thanksgiving dinner on Thanksgiving Day that will provide a free meal specifically to those who are alone or can’t provide for themselves. This task will require many resources to make it successful. We are currently gathering a small army of volunteers to devote their time to helping prepare, cook, serve, clean, organize and promote this event. We hope that we can count on you to assist us. The following is what we have planned to date:
• A 2-hour free dinner that will take place at the Greenwich VFW with 2 seatings, one from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. and the other from 2:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. by reservation(预约) only on Thanksgiving Day.
• Amy McPhail and Julie Carroll are accepting names of volunteers as well as food donations(捐赠) for the cause; Amy can be contacted(联络) at 692-7841 for donations and Julie can be contacted if you’d like to volunteer at 884-0658.
• A bank account has been created through Glens Falls National Bank to accept monetary donations and checks can be made payable to “A Random Act of Kindness” and sent to Glens Falls National Bank c/o Dan Flynn.
• Ellen Pemrick(Caterer), Beth Anthony(Beth’s Café) and David Hughes(Glens Falls Hospital) will be consulted to ensure the highest quality of food can be served.
• We are looking to serve between 150 and 250 people at this event. We are serving the following: turkey gravy, mashed potatoes, green beans, cranberry sauce, stuffing rolls, pumpkin pie, apple pie. Beverages will include: milk, water, coffee & apple cider.
If you are interested in donating any of the above items, please drop off your donations at the VFW in Greenwich any evening between November 14 and November 24. If you have any problems dropping any items off during that time frame, please contact George Perkins at either 692-2367 or 573-8115. Any non-perishable food donations not used for the dinner will be donated to the local Greenwich Food Pantry.
Any assistance you can provide for us would be greatly appreciated. Everyone’s generosity to the Greenwich community and its residents is very much appreciated. Reservations for dinner are now being accepted by calling Pat Perkins at 692-2367 until November 13.

Every day Yang Hongwei takes the bus home from work, staring silently at the European-style villas(别墅), luxury cars and twinkling lights from the shopping center that he sees through the window.
Yang works for a software company in Zhongguancun. He dreams of such a life, away from poverty, and that hope has kept him in Beijing for three years since he graduated from university.
Soon Yang squeezes his way off the bus to the reality of his life: his home—a 10-square-metre room that costs 550 yuan(81 US dollars) or about one-fifth of his salary in rent every month. It’s very cold inside the house as it has no central heating system. He has to stand the long and cold winter. Determined to achieve his dream, Yang says he has changed jobs “numerous” times in the past three years and is considering quitting his present job.
Yang’s frustration over his life as a migrant(移民) is shared by many other graduates that have moved into big cities. Together they have come to be called the “ant tribe”, a term created by Chinese sociologists to describe the struggles of young migrants, who, armed with their diplomas, flood to big cities in hopes of a better life only to put up with low-paying jobs and poor living conditions. They share every similarity with ants. They live in colonies in crowded areas. They’re intelligent and hardworking, yet unknown and underpaid. The term, sociologists have said, also reflects their helplessness in a world governed by the law of the concrete jungle—only the strongest survive.
A survey in Ant TribeⅡ found nearly 30 percent of the “ants” are graduates of famous key universities—almost three times the percentage of 2009. Most have degrees in popular majors, such as medicine, engineering, economics and management. In addition, 7.2 percent of the “ants” have at least a master’s degree compared to 1.6 percent in 2009. Most said the economic recovery did not really improve their financial situations, and 66 percent said their incomes fell short of their expectations, the survey also found.
For two years, Lian Si, a post-doctoral fellow at the Center for Chinese and Global Affairs of Peking University, who has studied the phenomenon, led a team of more than 100 graduate students to follow the groups in university towns like Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Wuhan and Xi’an. Lian evaluates the total population of the “ant community” in major cities at one mi
