在某些情况下，仅仅说声谢谢似乎是不够的。几周前我当 (41) 护士 的时候就在考虑这个问题。我突然想到，如果我们有一系列的 词语用来 表达不同 (42) 等级 的感激之情，那将容易得多。
我的想法很快就 (43) 受到了考验 。我们有一个女病人，她做了膝盖置换手术，正在 (44) 康复 。一天下午，她在 (45) 试图 上床睡觉时晕倒了，(46) 最终 发现是心脏病发作了。这次摔倒是灾难性的， (47) 需要 紧急医疗队和良好的团队合作。但是她康复了，不过比较 (48) 慢 ，而且四周后准备出院了。
她对医护团队为她所做的一切表示 (49) 感谢 。在她出院那天，我们分享了她 康复 的 (50) 喜悦 。当她要 (51) 离开 时，她急切地想和我们护理队的每一个人说 (52) 再见 。当她 (53) 到达 一个护士的身边时，她试图把一张五英镑的钞票塞进那个护士手里。我的同事 (54) 拒绝 接受，说我们都只是在 (55) 做 自己的工作而已。那位病人似乎很困惑，然后 (56) 回复说 ：“噢，这不是因为我受到的 (57) 照顾 。我认为那是 (58) 理所应当的 。不，这是感谢你昨天给我做头发的。”
就是这样。对许多人来说， (59) 拯救 生命是工作的一部分，但做头发是 (60) 额外的工作 ，值得奖励。
