377　Do you have a living will? 你立遗嘱了吗？

The cardiologist at the ER had bad news for me: “You're going to need a pacemaker.” Later, the nurse filling out the admission form began to ask me the standard questions: “Have you ever had mumps, measles?” etc. Seeing how upset I was, she put down the clipboard and took my hand. “Don't worry,” she said soothingly. “This kind of heart problem is easily fixed, and your life will be much better as a result.” I felt reassured until she continued: “Do you have a living will?”

急诊室的心脏科医生告诉我一个坏消息：“你将需要一个心脏起搏器。”随后，为我填写住院登记表的护士开始问我许多常规的问题：“你有没有得过腮腺炎、麻疹？”等等。她看到我很不安，就放下夹子板，抓住我的手，安慰我说：“不要紧张。这种心脏毛病是很容易治好的。治疗结果会使你的生活品质大大改善。”我刚刚比较放心了一些，她接着问：“你立遗嘱了吗？”
