Question

Friendly doctors are“bad for their patients’health”，researchers have warned as a new study revealed two thirds of young doctors struggle to be truthful with patients they like．

Blurring(使…模糊)the lines between social and professional relationships can affect the level of care offered and prevent patients from being honest about important side effects．

“Doctors should avoid adding patients as friends on Facebook，they should not hug or allow patients to call them by their first names”．regulators have warned．“Those who break the boundaries will face some punishment．”

It comes as a survey of 338 oncologists(腫瘤科醫(yī)生)under the age of 40，found 59 per cent said they found it difficult to tell the truth to those patients they liked．Sixty per cent of respondents said if doctors felt too close to their patients，it could prevent them from making objective decisions about a person’s care．

Lesley Fallowfield，of Brighton and Sussex Medical Schoo1．said：“Oncology is a profession that can be enormously rewarding but is filled with many challenges．Young oncologists have to master dealing with anxious patients who are facing a life-threatening disease；conveying the true prognosis(預(yù)后)；discussing the complexity of modern treatments；and explaining the unavailability of some drugs，the side-effects of treatment，and likely treatment aims．”

But she said，“Those doctors who have entered the profession in the age of the ‘Internet world’are more likely to fall victim to blurring the professional boundaries with patients．

She said：“The difficulty，if you hug and kiss patients，if you allow them to call you by your first name，is that quickly the relationship can become confused as a social one rather than a professional one．Doctors become confused，‘I really like this person，how can I bear to tell them that they’re going to die?’They find it more difficult to be objective．”

【解析】

試題分析：本文講述打破醫(yī)生同病人專業(yè)的界限的不利之處，并從對338位腫瘤醫(yī)生的調(diào)查中進(jìn)行論證

1. doctors felt too close to their patients，it could prevent them from making objective decisions about a person’s care．如果醫(yī)生和病人太親近，會(huì)阻礙他們對病人的醫(yī)療做出客觀的決定，即很難對病人太客觀，故選C

2. should avoid adding patients as friends on Facebook，they should not hug or allow patients to call them by their first names”．regulators have warned．醫(yī)生應(yīng)該避免在facebook上加病人為朋友，不應(yīng)該擁抱病人，或允許他們叫自己的名字，即應(yīng)該和病人保持距離，故選D

3. doctors who have entered the profession in the age of the ‘Internet world’are more likely to fall victim to blurring the professional boundaries with patients．那些在電腦時(shí)代進(jìn)入腫瘤職業(yè)的醫(yī)生更可能和病人打破專業(yè)的界限，可知電腦使得年輕醫(yī)生更容易打破界限，故選B

4. oncologists have to master dealing with anxious patients who are facing a life-threatening disease；conveying the true prognosis(預(yù)后)；discussing the complexity of modern treatments；and explaining the unavailability of some drugs，the side-effects of treatment，and likely treatment aims．年輕腫瘤醫(yī)生所面臨的挑戰(zhàn)大多是要同病人進(jìn)行溝通的事情，并沒有處理危險(xiǎn)生命的疾病，故選A
