A maid in Taiwan reportedly broke down after her elderly employer, whom she had been taking care of for the last 13 years, passed away from a cardiac arrest.
A doctor at the hospital, who was moved by the touching sight that he had witnessed, paid tribute to the maid and the years she spent caring for the elderly man.
Sharing his thought on Facbeook on 23 October, the doctor Yang Da Wei, said that the elderly man was in his 90s when he was hospitalised after suffering a cardiac arrest.
He was accompanied by his maid, and they managed to contact his family with her help. The family considered the elderly man’s advanced age and decided to let him “leave without pain”, deciding against treatment.
The doctor noticed that the elderly man was tidy and learn despite being bedridden for a long time, which was a sign that he had been cared for meticulously.
After the man died, the maid couldn’t stop crying, as Dr Yang observed that the maid wept in a mellow manner instead of hysterical crying, which he took as sadness that was truly heartfelt.
The maid shared with the doctor that she went to Taiwan about 13 years ago to care for the elderly man’s late wife, and after she passed away, she continued taking care of him.
Dr Yang said that he was touched after hearing the maid’s story, and added that his time working in the emergency department has taught him that kindness exists in many forms.
