Something about the article

My first reaction was annoyancefile:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Administrator/%E6%A1%8C%E9%9D%A2/dictations%20and%20traslations%20and%20articals/dictation%20and%20translation%20and%20articals.doc#_msocom_1 . It was Friday afternoon, and I was withinfile:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Administrator/%E6%A1%8C%E9%9D%A2/dictations%20and%20traslations%20and%20articals/dictation%20and%20translation%20and%20articals.doc#_msocom_2 an hour of file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Administrator/%E6%A1%8C%E9%9D%A2/dictations%20and%20traslations%20and%20articals/dictation%20and%20translation%20and%20articals.doc#_msocom_3 finishing my work for the week. As I was leaving, a nurse brought me one more patient message. The statement readfile:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Administrator/%E6%A1%8C%E9%9D%A2/dictations%20and%20traslations%20and%20articals/dictation%20and%20translation%20and%20articals.doc#_msocom_4 : "Mm. Jones callfile:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Administrator/%E6%A1%8C%E9%9D%A2/dictations%20and%20traslations%20and%20articals/dictation%20and%20translation%20and%20articals.doc#_msocom_5 ed to say that she has had blurred vision (????) ever since her medical test this morning. " I smiled. Suddenly our tests were causing eye problems. file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Administrator/%E6%A1%8C%E9%9D%A2/dictations%20and%20traslations%20and%20articals/dictation%20and%20translation%20and%20articals.doc#_msocom_6

This week my patients had questioned everything. My patient with high blood pressure had stopped coming to her treatment on the advice of an Internet chat room. A woman who had a mental problem was
substituting ( ?......??) St. John' s word for her medication. Now Mrs. Jones was imagining problems. I rolled my eyes.

My second reaction was worry. As I looked through her record, I tried to figure out why she would have blurred vision, but nothing in her record explained the new problem. She' s probably just anxious, I thought. Still,
she wouldn't have called if she had been all rightfile:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Administrator/%E6%A1%8C%E9%9D%A2/dictations%20and%20traslations%20and%20articals/dictation%20and%20translation%20and%20articals.doc#_msocom_7 . I picked up the phone.

What I next felt can only be described as delight
file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Administrator/%E6%A1%8C%E9%9D%A2/dictations%20and%20traslations%20and%20articals/dictation%20and%20translation%20and%20articals.doc#_msocom_8 . Before I made the call, the nurse ran in: Mrs. Jones called. Her vision is fine. Turns outfile:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Administrator/%E6%A1%8C%E9%9D%A2/dictations%20and%20traslations%20and%20articals/dictation%20and%20translation%20and%20articals.doc#_msocom_9 she picked up the wrong glasses when she left the office. The X-ray technician has been having the same problem. I let outfile:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Administrator/%E6%A1%8C%E9%9D%A2/dictations%20and%20traslations%20and%20articals/dictation%20and%20translation%20and%20articals.doc#_msocom_10 a laugh. Mrs. Jones had been right. Her vision had been blurred. Now we know why.

Finally I felt shame. I came to realize what Mrs. Jones had taught me. I had first known she was wrong, that her anxiety had clouded her judgment. Insteadfile:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Administrator/%E6%A1%8C%E9%9D%A2/dictations%20and%20traslations%20and%20articals/dictation%20and%20translation%20and%20articals.doc#_msocom_11 , my medical training had clouded mine. Now I feel thankful that Mrs. Jones figured it out before I made a mistake about our relationship[c12]. Patients come to me for my help.

They pay me to listen, diagnose (??), treat and talk. That suggests trust; I must remember that, and trust them too.





In the sentence 6, what does "suddenly" mean?
in the sentence 12, what does the that clause here act as? what does it modify?

Thanks a lot!
