漆黑的sustain_sustained_sustain 84

我们都身处在由朋友、家人、同事等所构建的庞大的社会网络之中。医学社会学家尼古拉斯追踪发现了一系列的特质，诸如快乐和肥胖，是如何传递的，解释了你在社会网络中所处的地位是如何以你意想不到的方式影响着你的生活。

For me, this story begins about 15 years ago, when I was a hospice doctor at the University of Chicago。 And I was taking care of people who were dying and their families in the South Side of Chicago。 And I was observing what happened to people and their families over the course of their terminal illness。 And in my lab, I was studying the widower effect, which is a very old idea in the social sciences, going back 150 years, known as "dying of a broken heart。" So, when I die, my wifes risk of death can double, for instance, in the first year。

And I had gone to take care of one particular patient, a woman who was dying of dementia。 And in this case, unlike this couple, she was being cared for by her daughter。 And the daughter was exhausted from caring for her mother。 And the daughters husband, he also was sick from his wifes exhaustion。 And I was driving home one day, and I get a phone call from the husbands friend, calling me because he was depressed about what was happening to his friend。 So here I get this call from this random guy thats having an experience thats being influenced by people at some social distance。

对于我来说，这个故事是15年前开始的。当时我是芝加哥大学安养院的医生，在芝加哥的南边地区照顾临终的病人和他们的亲属。我借此来观察疾病晚期病人和家属所经历的一切。而在我的实验室里，我当时正在研究“寡妇效应”，这是社会科学中非常古老的一个观点，可追述到150年前，当时被称为是“心碎之死”。举个例子来说，如果我去世的话，我妻子在我逝世之后一年的死亡率会加倍。我当时照料的病人中，有一位是死于痴呆症的女士。和夫妻的例子不同的是，当时照顾这位女士的是她的女儿。这个女儿因为照顾老母而筋疲力竭，而女儿的丈夫也因为妻子的疲劳而患上疾病。有一天我正开车回家，收到一通来自这个丈夫的朋友的电话，原因是他为他朋友所经历的一切感到忧郁。我就这样神奇地接到一个陌生人的电话，全因为他的经历受到了一些和他有一定“社会距离”的人的影响。
