And that wasn't a difficult diagnosis to make.
這不是一個困難的診斷。
I made it and I set to work treating her.
作出診斷后我開始著手幫她治療。
I gave her aspirin. I gave her medications to relieve the strain on her heart.
我開給了她阿司匹林，并給了她一些可以減輕她心臟負擔的藥物。
I gave her medications that we call diuretics, water pills, to get her to pee out the access fluid.
我還給了她一些利尿劑，俗稱水丸，幫助她將體內多余的水分排出。
And over the course of the next hour and a half or two, she started to feel better.
在接下來的一兩個小時里，她開始覺得好轉。
And I felt really good. And that's when I made my first mistake; I sent her home.
我也感到高興。而就在此時我犯了第一個錯誤：我讓她回了家。
Actually, I made two more mistakes. I sent her home without speaking to my attending.
正確的來說，我還犯了兩個錯誤。我在和我的主治匯報之前便讓她回了家。
I didn't pick up the phone and do what I was supposed to do,
我沒有做我照著我應該做的，
which was call my attending and run the story by him so he would have a chance to see her for himself.
拿起電話打給我的主治并讓他看一下這個案例，給他一個親自見見這名病患的機會。
And he knew her, he would have been able to furnish additional information about her.
我的主治認識她，因此可以提供更詳細的病歷資料。
Maybe I did it for a good reason. Maybe I didn't want to be a high-maintenance resident.
或許我有這么做的理由?；蛟S我并不想做一個需要經常地指導的實習醫生。
Maybe I wanted to be so successful and so able to take responsibility
也許我太想可以獨當一面，
that I would do so and I would be able to take care of my attending's patients without even having to contact him.
可以不需要和我的主治溝通便照顧好他的病患。
The second mistake that I made was worse.
而我犯的第二個錯誤更加嚴重。
In sending her home, I disregarded a little voice deep down inside that was trying to tell me,
在讓她回家時，我忽視了我內心一個微小的聲音。這個聲音試圖告訴我：
"Goldman, not a good idea. Don't do this."
“高德曼，這樣不好，不要這么做?！?/div>
In fact, so lacking in confidence was I that I actually asked the nurse who was looking after Mrs. Drucker,
其實，當時的我是如此的沒有自信，以至于我甚至向照顧Drucker女士的護士尋求了意見：
"Do you think it's okay if she goes home?"
“你覺得讓她回家好么？”
And the nurse thought about it and said very matter-of-factly, "Yeah, I think she'll do okay."
那位護士想了想，然后就事論事的說：“嗯，我覺得沒有問題?！?/div>
I can remember that like it was yesterday.
這一切對我來說，都還像是發生在了昨天。
