Empathy Gadgets
New tools can help doctors understand their patients."A sad incongruity of caregiving is that patients often have a greater capacity for empathy than those of us going through our lives largely unencumbered by illness. I remember one evening when I was helping my mother up the stairs to her bedroom. She was walking slowly; after several recent spills, she was terrified of falling again. But even as she struggled, her hands turning white as she gripped the banister, she turned to me and said, “This must be so hard for you.”"
She remembered being able and understood the burden of her disability on the able.
The gadgets teach patience which is not the same as empathy.
The different skin is a remembered condition.
