最佳灵药
当我穿着白大褂走向医院的时候, 我看
起来跟其他医生一样——直到我戴上卷曲的
彩虹色假发和大红鼻子, 别上我的名牌 “拉
里·笑哈哈医生” 为止。 我穿过一道道门进
入候诊区, 这里充斥着常见的厌烦和紧张情
绪。 人们别扭地坐在塑料椅子上, 翻阅着那
些已经被读过几百遍的旧杂志。 焦虑的父母
们正在竭尽所能安抚紧张哭闹的孩子。
就在这样的场景里, 我注意到一个小女
孩, 她的脚踝肿成了正常的两倍。 我和当值
护士交谈时她告诉我, 劳拉从自行车上摔下
来, 她的父母匆忙将她送到医院。 自从来到
这里, 劳拉就因为疼痛而一直大哭。 尽管为
她治疗伤痛的是医生和护士, 但让她的心情
变好, 则是我的工作。
科学研究表明, 欢笑能令人产生一些有
益身心的化学物质, 这就意味着小丑医生能
帮到患者。 我们是受过专门培训的小丑, 是
“医院小丑” 的项目成员。 我选择这个职业
是由于自己小时候去医院的经历。 尽管当时
医生和护士都尽职尽责, 但医院实在不是个
适合孩子们待的地方。 我在那里的大部分时
间要么觉得害怕, 要么感觉非常无聊! 而成
为小丑医生意味着我可以用娱乐人们的方式
帮助他们。
作为小丑医生, 我们要走访医院和其他
的医疗保健机构, 和专业医疗人员一起工
作。 我们一天的工作内容通常是为病人、 病
人家属, 甚至是医院的工作人员带来欢乐!
为此, 我们会变魔术、 唱歌、 讲故事。 当然
还会讲一些滑稽的笑话。 尽管如此, 有些孩
子并不想笑, 尤其是他们感到疼痛的时候。
所以我们必须非常善解人意, 并且与医护人
员密切合作, 他们会为我们提供每个病人的
最新情况。
而我的灵药似乎取得了成效。 当医生集
中精力检查劳拉的脚踝时, 我用魔术来吸引
劳拉的注意力。 看得出, 尽管她显然仍有一
些痛苦, 但她恐惧和焦虑的表情已经不见
了: 先是一个小小的微笑, 接着变成了大
笑——因为我 “魔术般地” 从我的口袋里变
出了她的一只袜子。 看到女儿破涕为笑, 劳
拉的父母也松了一口气。
而我呢? 当我摘下假发和红鼻子的时
候, 脸上仍然带着大大的微笑, 因为我记得
这天所有的乐趣和欢笑。 也许将来, 对于劳
拉或者其他人来说, 他们还有更多到医院就
诊的需要, 而我希望, 小丑医生能够帮助医
院成为一个更温暖友善的就诊场所。 毕竟,
“欢笑是最佳灵药”, 这句话是千真万确的。
