自小就喜歡這句話,「愛因斯坦曾說:專家只不過是一隻訓練有素的狗」,我當然不是貶低或是污辱任何專家,因為這是ㄧ句被斷章取義的話,原文其實是這樣的:

It is not enough to teach a man a specialty. Through it he may become a kind of useful machine but not a harmoniously developed personality. It is essential that the student acquires an understanding of and a lively feeling for values. He must acquire a vivid sense of the beautiful and of the morally good. Otherwise he—with his specialized knowledge—more closely resembles a well-trained dog than a harmoniously developed person. He must learn to understand the motives of human beings, their illusions, and their sufferings in order to acquire a proper relationship to individual fellow-men and to the community.

中譯:教學只教導專業知識是不夠的,若是只教授專業知識,學生將只被訓練成一個有用的機器,但卻無法成為一個身心合諧發展的人。讓學生理解和感受各種生活的價值、世界的美麗、與道德的良善是很重要的否則他的專業知識只是會使他更像一隻受過良好訓練的狗而不是一個身心合諧發展的人。學生必須學習了解人類行為的動機為何,了解他們的想法或是痛苦,如此才能與同儕及社會間建立適當的人際關係。

我想說的是,任何的專業訓練若是少了人的理解及感受,就變成只是機器、只是訓練有素的狗,而與「人」的接觸正是護理最重要的部份,也是我最愛護理的部份,希望教學可以讓學生獲得專業知識外,更能夠懂得如何理解人、關懷人、尊重人、與人互動,護理的美好正是在此,把我的感動與大家分享。
