In Kantovia, physicians’ income comes from insurance companies, which require
physicians to document their decisions in treating patients and to justify deviations
from the companies’ treatment guidelines. Ten years ago physicians were allowed
more discretion. Most physicians believe that the companies’ requirements now
prevent them from spending enough time with patients. Yet the average amount of
time a patient spends with a physician during an office visit has actually increased
somewhat over the last ten years.
Which of the following, if true, most helps to resolve the apparent discrepancy between physicians’ perceptions and the change in the actual time spent?
A.
Patients are more likely to be in a hurry nowadays and are less willing to
wait a long time to see their physician.
B. Physicians today typically have a wider range of options in diagnosis and
treatment to consider with the patient before prescribing.
C.
Physicians are increasingly likely to work in group practices, sharing the
responsibility of night and weekend work.
D.
Most patients would rather trust their physicians than their insurance
companies to make decisions about their treatment.
E.
Since the insurance companies pay physicians a set amount for each
office visit, it is to physicians’ financial advantage to see as many
Patients as possible.
提示答案为B, 但是不理解题意，向大家求教，谢谢 作者: napoleon 时间: 2013-6-4 20:43
我是这么想的,physicians 在门诊时 主要做两件事 ： "spend time with the patients" and "document their decisions in treating patients and to justify deviations from the companies' treatment guidelines"
因为保险公司的要求，physicians 不得不花更多的时间在后者，因此觉得直接诊断病人的时间少了，但是对于病人来说，不论physicians是做前者还是后者都算是“amount of time a patient spends with a physician during an office visit ”的一部分

Which of the following, if true, most helps to resolve the apparent discrepancy between physicians’ perceptions and the change in the actual time spent? 解释相处的时间如何增多以因应保险公司的要求
A.
Patients are more likely to be in a hurry nowadays and are less willing to wait a long time to see their physician.
B.
Physicians today typically have a wider range of options in diagnosis and treatment to consider with the patient before prescribing. 因为要因应保险公司的要求，所以医生的选择空间变大了，然后在这个过程里是和病人相处在一起的
C.
Physicians are increasingly likely to work in group practices, sharing the responsibility of night and weekend work.
D.
Most patients would rather trust their physicians than their insurance companies to make decisions about their treatment.
E.
Since the insurance companies pay physicians a set amount for each office visit, it is to physicians’ financial advantage to see as many patients as possible.作者: TerraceHo 时间: 2013-6-8 20:52
在第一遍做的时候，我也没有找到正确答案，这个题实在是有点绕。
首先应该明白discrepancy指的是什么：physicians believe that the companies’ requirements now prevent them from spending enough time with patients. Yet the average amount of time a patient spends with a physician during an office visit has actually increased somewhat over the last ten years.——医生认为时间不够，但实际上每个医生接待一个病人的时间是增长的，所以这个discrepancy就是：为什么时间增长了，医生还是觉得不够。
B很完美得解答了这个疑问：因为在诊断之前，需要考虑的因素比以前要多了，因此所需要的时间也会变多。虽然现在相对于十年前看病人的时间有所增长，但是这个时间的实际增长可能不足以满足医生对时间长度的合理需求。作者: hgjtytryr 时间: 2013-6-9 06:00
