好难！对吗

If I am truly being honest and introspective, I can relate and likely recall a time, or possibly several, when being confronted with stressful circumstances I have resorted to feverish attempts to control what I think are under my control. I believe the learning objective for me moving forward has absolutely nothing to do with transfusion thresholds and everything to do with remembering that our medical community is a growing and beautifully diversifying community that invariably includes individuals who have trained, worked, and struggled to care for their patients in far greater ways than you or I may ever know. When you have more, less becomes a choice. So, if we find ourselves thinking that less is more, I would challenge us to remember that more is a luxury of excess. And when less fails, more still remains an option. In that moment, I beseech you and me to be grateful for the alternative of more before the words “less is more” lands in the middle of our unit or ward. Because for many of our colleagues across the globe, sometimes, less is just less.

如果我是诚实和内省的，我可能联想并回忆起某/某几个时刻，当面对压力，我会狂热的尝试控制我认为我能控制的东西。我相信，我完全无需学习输血阈值，而是要记住，我们的医疗界是一个不断发展、美好多样化的共同体，无一例外地包括那些受过培训、勤恳工作、并以远比你我所知的更努力的方式照顾患者的医务人员。当你拥有的越多，越少就成了一种选择。因此，如果我们发现自己认为“少即是多”，我们应质疑自己并让自己记住，多其实是一种奢侈的过度。当“少”无效时，“多”仍然是一种选择。在那个时刻，我恳请你和我在我们的病房讲出“少即是多”这句话之前，对另一个“多”心存感激。因为对于全球的许多同事来说，有时候，少就是少。
