Sleep is a funny thing. We’re taught that we should get seven or eight hours a night, but a lot of us get by just fine on less, and some of us actually sleep too much. A study out of the University of Buffalo last month reported that people who routinely sleep more than eight hours a day and are still tired are nearly three times as likely to die of stroke — probably as a result of an underlying disorder that keeps them from snoozing (睡) soundly.
Doctors have their own special sleep problems. Residents (住院医生) are famously sleep deprived. When I was training to become a neurosurgeon, it was not unusual to work 40 hours in a row without rest. Most of us took k in stride, confident we could still deliver the highest quality of medical care. Maybe we shouldn’t have been so sum of ourselves. An article in the Journal of the American Medical Association points out that in the morning after 24 hours of sleeplessness, a person’s motor performance is comparable to that of someone who is legally intoxicated. Curiously, surgeons who believe that operating under the influence is grounds for dismissal often don’t think twice about operating without enough deep.
"I could tell you horror stories," says Jaya Agrawal, president of the American Medical Student Association, which runs a website where residents can post anonymous anecdotes. Some are terrifying. "I was operating after being up for over 36 hours," one writes. "I literally fell asleep standing up and nearly face planted into the wound."
"Practically every surgical resident I know has fallen asleep at the wheel driving home from work," writes another. "I know of three who have hit parked cats. Another hit a ’Jersey barrier’ on the New Jersey Turnpike, going 65 m. p. h." "Your own patients have become the enemy," writes a third, bemuse they are "the one thing that stands between you and a few hours of sleep."
Agrawal’s organization is supporting the Patient and Physician Safety and Protection Act of 2001, introduced last November by Representative John Conyers Jr. of Michigan. Its key provisions, modeled on New York State’s regulations, include an 80-hour workweek and a 24-hour work-shift limit. Most doctors, however, resist such interference. Dr. Charles Binkley, a senior surgery resident at the University of Michigan, agrees that something needs to be done but believes "doctors should be hound by their conscience, not by the government."
The U.S. controls the hours of pilots and truck drivers. But until such a system is in place for doctors, patients are on their own. If you’re worried about the people treating you or a loved one, you should feel free to ask how many hours of sleep they have had and if more-rested staffers are available. Doctors, for their part, have to give up their pose of infallibility (不出错) and get the rest they need. [br] What does the author imply speaking of the sleep problems that doctors face?
选项
A、Doctors’ sleep is deprived by residents.
B、Sleep-deprived doctors are intoxicated.
C、Doctors tend to neglect their own sleep problems.
D、Doctors often need little sleep to keep them energetic.
答案
C
解析
本题考察推理能力,问“医生的睡眠问题暗示了什么”。短文第二段“... in the morning after 24 hours of sleeplessness, a person’s motor performance is comparable to that of someone who is legally intoxicated. Curiously, surgeons who believe that operating under the influence is grounds for dismissal often don’t think twice about operating without enough sleep.”,也就是说医生们虽然认为醉酒开刀应该受到严惩,但对于在睡眠不足的情况下做手术却并不加以认真考虑。由此可见,“医生们大都忽略了他们自己的睡眠问题”,故C项正确。
