But it worked out quite well anyway , and I find myself thinking maybe that is fate . Maybe somehow my hubris with my other older , Polish patient who suffered such a terrible loss , maybe somehow I provoked the fates to turn on us . I say us because I know my suffering was nothing like hers , but was a suffering still .
Why does the narrator have such empathy for the Polish person ?
- The Polish person just lost a job .
 - None of the above choices .
 - The Polish person just lost a major hobby .
 - The Polish person just lost a family member .


The Polish person just lost a family member .
