Pamela: Physicians training for a medical specialty serve as resident staff physicians in hospitals, they work such long hours-- up to 36 consecutive hours—that fatigue impairs their ability to make the best medical decisions during the final portion of their shifts.
Quincy: Thousands of physicians now practicing have been trained according to the same regimen, and records show they generally made good medical decisions during their training periods. Why should what has worked in the past be changed now?
Which one of the following, if true, is the most effective counter Pamela might make to Quincy’s arguments?
Answer: because medical reimbursement policies now pay for less recuperation time in hospitals, patients in hospitals are, on the average, more seriously ill during their stays than in the past
My answer: the load of work on resident physicians in training varies according to the medical specialty for which each is being trained.
小小意见，请多指正:
the ans. should somewhat weaken Quincy’s argument.
in ans. (b) more seriously ill during their stay than in the past.
which makes the most effective counter against Quincy’s “Why should what has worked in the past be changed now?”作者: samgxs 时间: 2002-11-14 18:23
现在看答案好像有点点感觉了，好像是正确答案说条件改变了medical reimbursement policies now pay for less recuperation time in hospitals，所以病人病的时间长了，来驳斥。
