The Pivot of Life
Abstract：As a resident trainee following my mentor, I encountered a young mother with a single kidney in the outpatient clinic. Her unwavering dedication to her two children with cerebral palsy, her concern for her daughter back home, and her perseverance despite her husband's lack of understanding and support, all revealed a faint but firm light. While lamenting the injustice of life, I realized that the role of a doctor is not only to 'treat the illness' but also to 'see the person.' Prescriptions are not just medicine, but also a form of listening and understanding, allowing patients to feel seen and warmed during their difficult journey. Thus, as a resident physician, I share this true story about motherhood, love, and how life finds its pivot under pressure.
