上了一課 (escort for hospital appointment)

胡太告訴銀花們,當有心絞症時,那種痛的感覺是會從心口痛至後背。要把1 - 2片藥放在舌頭底,待一會オ會舒緩下來。真是上了一課。

Bonnie suggests to the disciples that if you have an elder parent(s), please make sure you escort him/her to see doctor's regular checking at least once a year. Bonnie awares that most of the elders are not able to express clearly about their physical and emotional condition for the doctor's clear diagnosis. As a result, most of the doctors in the public hospitals and clinics are impatient in waiting for the elder to even complete their spoken sentence.

Unclear to meet with unclarified needs means what? ............ Please help doctors to take good care of your parents by participanting in the process with clarity, simplicity and effectiveness before it is too late.

Your elder parents may protect you by excusing that you are very busy in your work. Yes, sure you do but they are your most beloved parents. Unless this statement is not true to you. Sorry for a bit too strong in tone as how much I feel for the Golden Girls and your elder parents.

I much appreciate Bonnie has written this article. That's what we should pay more attention.

Recently I am searching for information of how to care our aging parents. I feel that it is very important for me to learn more in this area. Caring parents is the way to love and to get close to the ones who have cared for us since we are born. Let's remember the Chinese old saying, "樹欲靜而風不息, 子欲養而親不在"

There are lots of books in both English and Chinese which we could borrow from the public libraries. For your reference of the English ones, their book code in library is 301.435.

Love,
Elaine
