莫邪 I

她说,
自己曾探访一家医院。

那里有个小婴儿,
全身插着管子。

那弱小的身体,
唯一生命的痕迹,
不过是身边跳动的仪器。

她很好奇,
于是趁护士离开后,
走了过去。

跟微弱的生命轻声细语,
大手温柔地握着小手。

她说那瞬间,
护士口中没有反应的生命,
嘴角微微上扬。

小手仿佛也想把手指紧握。

这时,
之前请她离开的护士,
又走了回来。

深感无奈,
只好把小手推开,
然后离开。

The nurse is still practising a nonsensical outdated method (1950s' style of medical care for preemies).

"她" is instinctively doing the commonsense correct thing (which has been in practised since ancient time) -- Kangaroo care.

Generally speaking, Singapore/Asia is about 10 to 20+ years less enlightened than western countries in most thinggs - meaning, while the latter has already abandoned fast food, fried chicken and nonsense way of taking cares of babies etc, asians are at the peak of enjoying MacDonalds, KFC, the 1950s ways of how western medicine take care of babies, and basically swallowing without questions all the nonsense western things that westerners have already abandoned!

If you need to know, the hospital she visited, is situated in a Third World country.

嗯,是爱。

Mother Theresa 曾说过,“in this life, we cannot do great things, we can only do small things with great love.”

3rd world country is even worse - they are only starting to mimic the west! So for eg, 3rd world countries are only starting to follow the "modern" western medical msg: "baby milk powder is as good as breast milk", whereas western countries has reversed their position and revert back to "breast milk is best".

Same for care of preemies lor. 3rd world countries now practising "modern" western neonatal ICU practices where babies are isolated from mothers. But alas, western countries has reversed their position back to "mother's tender loving touch is the best".

If the 3rd world country did not practise "modern" western medicine, I can gaurantee you, their original ancient traditional method has always been: mothers should touch their newborn no matter how prematurely born they are.

西方国家渐渐明白自己的“摩登”生活方式有多糟糕,开始去尼布尔西藏,学打坐,学降压,可是呀,那些落后国家,却拼命放弃自己的“落后”生活方式,追求西方生活方式。呵呵,他们迟早会后悔。。

Oops, too philosophical. Anyway, hey, can tell us more about "she"? :)

对于这些,每个国家都在自己摸索的阶段。
我不认为,任何人有资格取笑任何人。

重要的是,大家都在不断学习,尝试让医学提高大家的生活水准。

那份心、那份执著是不应该被取笑的。
