Do Patients Trust Doctors Too Much?

Earlier this year,the American College of Surgeons,the national scientific and educational organization
of surgeons,conducted a nationwide survey that found that the average patient devotes an hour or less to re-
searching his or her surgery or surgeon.While prospective patients worry about the costs or complications of
an operation,they don't necessarily look for information that would address their concerns.
In fact,more than a third of patients who had an operation in the last five years never reviewed the cre-
dentials of the surgeon who operated.Patients are more likely to spend time researching a job change(on
average,about 10 hours)or a new car(8 hours)than the operation they are about to submit to or the surgeon
who wields（支配）the knife. And many patients are satisfied with the answers they receive from their sur -
geons or primary care doctors,whoever those individuals happen to be.
I felt curious about the survey,so I called Dr. Thomas Russell,executive director of the American
College of Surgeons."There is a tendency for patients not to get particularly involved and not to feel com-
pelled to look into their surgery or surgeons,"he told me.
There are consequences to that kind of blind trust."Today,medicine and surgery are really team
sports,"Dr. Russell continued,"and the patient,as the ultimate decision-maker,is the most important mem-
ber of the team.Mistakes can happen,and patients have to be educated and must understand what is
going on."
In other words,a healthy doctor-patient relationship does not simply entail good bedside manners and re-
sponsible office management on the part of the doctor. It also requires that patients come to the relationship
educated about their doctors,their illnesses and their treatment.
"If we are truly going to reform the health care system in the U.S.,"Dr. Russell said,"everybody has
to participate actively and must educate themselves.That means doctors,nurses,other health care
professionals , lawyers , pharmaceutical（制药的）companies , and insurance companies. But most of all , it
means the patient."
Trust is important. But as Sir Francis Bacon,who was among the first to understand the importance of
gathering data in science,once observed,knowledge is power.It is wrong to think that a healthy doctor-patient relationship__________.A:is dependent just on the doctorB:is a goal that can be achievedC:entails any effort on the part of the patientD:is what the patient truly desires
选项 It is wrong to think that a healthy doctor-patient relationship__________.
A:is dependent just on the doctor
B:is a goal that can be achieved
C:entails any effort on the part of the patient
D:is what the patient truly desires
答案 A
解析 从第一段和第二段的表述可知，有三分之一的患者不愿意花时间去了解做手术的医 生，他们在这上面花的时间比他们在换一份工作或者一辆车上花的时间要少。
从第二段可知，患者对医生有一种盲目的信任，他们宁愿花时间去找一份新工作或一 辆新车，而不愿去了解他们的手术和做手术的医师，他们对收到的结果还很满意。
从第四段可知，在治疗的团队里，患者是最重要的成员。
文章通篇讨论的是患者对医生及手术缺乏了解，健康的医患关系应该包含患者的参 与。因此A项提到的健康的医患关系只依赖医生的观点是错误的。
最后一段提到培根是为了验证“知识即力量”这个观点，因此作者肯定是相信培根及其 观点的，而唯独不相信的是盲目的信任，因此选C。
