Scene to read · Ethics, Empathy
Turn off the alarms
You volunteer at a public library's tech help desk.
Anjana, 79, has brought in the tablet her son set up for her and asks you to turn off its daily medication reminders. Lina, a fellow volunteer, is at the desk beside you.
The scene
Anjana: Please turn off these alarms. I stopped one medicine. My son must not know.
Lina: It's your tablet, Anjana. We fix settings, we don't ask about health.
Anjana: It made me dizzy every day. My son worries, he checks everything. You will do it?
The two questions
- 1What would you do, and what would you say to Anjana?
- 2When, if ever, is it right to act on a concern for someone who has not asked for your help?
