　　But I carried on with my work. 但我还是照常的继续工作。
　　And at the end of the day, I packed up to leave the hospital and walked to the parking lot to take my car 在工作结束后，我整理了下便离开了医院。

　　that are the three words that most emergency physicians I know dread 3. 绝大部分急诊医生都害怕听到的三个字。
　　Others in medicine dread them as well, but there's something particular about emergency medicine because we see patients so fleetingly 4. 其他科系的医生也害怕这三个字，但因为急诊医生看的病人都来去匆匆，这三个字对我们有着特别的意义。
