The girl was assigned to look after an old man suffering from cancer whose children lived abroad. Their living conditions were not satisfactory even if the old man had a lot of savings. She was expected to comfort him and keep up his spirits. Every Saturday the girl came on time to keep him company,telling him stories. When he was having an intravenous drip (静脉滴注法), she would help massage his arms. The doctor found the patient much improved mentally. The old man began to involve himself actively in the medical treatment and he seldom shouted at others. But something that happened made the doctor uneasy and puzzled.

When rescued from the latest coma,the old man told the doctor his last wish,“I have deep sympathy for the girl. Will you be kind enough to help her finish her studies?” But the doctor knew that her family was well off and she had no difficulty pursuing her studies. Sometimes she even came to the hospital in her father’s car. When the girl came at the weekend after the death of the old man, the doctor told her the bad news. She was very sad and burst into tears. Then she handed $500 to the doctor,saying,“The old man had all along thought I came to do the job because of poverty.

In the last period of his life,the old man found it a real pleasure to be able to help a girl badly in need. 1.If you’re a volunteer in the activities of Deathbed Care, what kind of people do you ha
