光希まさとの創造の世界へようこそ！
つれづれなるままに、硯にむかひて、心に移りゆくよしなし事を、そこはかとなく書きつくれば、あやしうこそものぐるほしけれ。
このたび、体の不調を訴えて医の館を訪れしに、思わぬ出来事に遭遇せり。高き血圧の原因を尋ねんとして、医師に相談せしところ、その言葉の冷たさに胸を刺さるる思いなりき。
「わが守備範囲にあらず」と投げやりに言い放つ医師の態度に、長き年月を経たる我が心も堪えかね、声を荒げて問いただせり。医の道を歩む者として、患いに苦しむ者への言の葉に、かくも冷たきものありや、と。
廊下にまで響き渡る声のやりとりは、我ながら大人げなき振る舞いと後に悔やみしも、理不尽なる対応に、一人の人としての矜持が許さざりしなり。
幸いにも、機転の利いたる看護師の方の仲立ちにより、内科のＳ先生という温かき医師に巡り合わせ給い、心も体も安らぎを得たり。
人の世に生きて六十余年、かくも激しく感情の炎を燃やしたるは久しぶりなれど、人として扱われぬ理不尽に対し、声を上げることも時に必要なるかと思う次第なり。
医の心と患者の思い、互いを理解し尊重する対話こそ、癒しの道の基本なることを、改めて感じたる一日なりけり。
つれづれなるままに 光希まさと
Essays in Idleness – Modern Chapter “The Path of Medical Heart and Dialogue”
As I sit here with my inkstone, letting my brush flow freely with whatever thoughts pass through my mind, how curious it all seems.
Recently, when I visited a medical facility to address my physical discomfort, I encountered an unexpected situation. As I sought to inquire about the cause of my high blood pressure, the physician’s cold words pierced my heart.
When the doctor dismissively declared “This is not within my scope,” my heart, having endured many years, could not bear it, and I raised my voice in questioning. I wondered how one who walks the path of medicine could speak such cold words to someone suffering from illness.
Our exchange of voices, echoing through the corridor, was behavior I later regretted as undignified, yet my dignity as a person could not allow such unreasonable treatment to pass.
Fortunately, thanks to the intervention of a quick-witted nurse, I was able to meet a warm-hearted doctor, Dr. S, who provided comfort to both my body and mind.
