We discuss the issue of when to help a patient die. Doctors of our generation are

not

newcomers

to

this

question.

Going

back

to

my

internship

（实习）

days,

I

can

remember

many

patients

in

pain,

sometimes

in

coma(

昏迷

),

with

late,

hopeless

cancer.

For

many

of them, we wrote an order for heavy medication

—

morphine(

吗啡

)by the clock. This

was not talked about openly and little was written about it. It was essential, not

controversial.

The best way to bring the problem into focus is to describe two patients whom

I

cared

for.

The

first,

formerly

a

nurse,

had

an

automobile

accident.

A

few

days

later

her lungs seemed to fill up; her heart developed dangerous rhythm disturbances. So

there she was: in coma, on a breathing machine, her heartbeat maintained with an

electrical device. One day after rounds, my secretary said the husband and son of

the patient wanted to see me. They told me their wife and mother was obviously going

to die; she was a nurse and had told her family that she never wanted this kind of

terrible

death,

being

maintained

by

machines.

I

told

them

that

while

I

respected

their

view, there was nothing deadly about her situation. The kidney(

肾

) failure she had

was just

the kind for which the artificial kidney was most effective. While possibly

a

bit

reassured,

they

were

disappointed.

Here

was

the

head

surgeon

seemingly

determined to keep everybody alive, no matter what.

Within a few days the patient's pacemaker(

起搏器

) could be removed and she awoke

from her coma. About six months later, the door of my office opened and in walked

a gloriously fit woman. After some cheery words of appreciation, the father and son

asked

to

speak

to

me

alone.

As

soon

as

the

door

closed,

both

men

became

quite

tearful.

All that came out was,

The second patient was an 85-year- old lady whose hair caught fire while she was

smoking.

She

arrived

with

a

deep

burn;

I

knew

it

would

surely

be

deadly.

As

a

remarkable

coincidence there was a meeting for discussion going on at the time in medical

- 2 -

ethics(

道德

).

The

speaker

asked

me

if

I

had

any

sort

of

ethical

problem

I

could

bring

up for discussion. I described the case and asked the students their opinion. After

the discussion, I made a remark that was, when looking back, a serious mistake. I

said,

word back

to

the nurses about her

and we will

talk

about it some

more

before we decide.

The instructor and the students were

shocked:

is a real patient?

actuality. In any event, I went back and met with the nurses. A day or two later,

when she was making no progress and was suffering terribly, we began to back off

treatment. Soon she died quietly and not in pain. As a reasonable physician, you had

better move ahead and do what you would want done for you. And don't discuss it with

the

world

first.

There

is

a

lesson

here

for

everybody.

Assisting

people

to

leave

this

life requires strong judgment and long experience to avoid its misuse.

10. In the early days when a patient had got a deadly, hopeless illness, _____.

A.

doctors used to ask the patient to go back home and wait for death

B.

doctors

would

write

all

their

treatment

plan

on

the

p

atient’s

medical

record

C.

doctors would talk about their treatment plan openly

D.

usually doctors would inject more morphine into the patient to end his life

11. The first patient’s husband and son wanted the doctor_____.

A.

to end her life

B. to save her life

D. to use an artificial kidney

C.

to operate on her at once

12. In the second paragraph, why were they disappointed?

A.

Their wife and mother was going to die.

B.

They doctor didn’t do as they asked to.

C.

Their wife and mother had to receive a kidney transplant.

D.

The doctor scolded them for their cruelty

13. At the meeting, the author discussed with the students_____.

A.

how to help patients end their lives

B.

the importance of mercy killing

C.

the relationship between mercy killing and ethics

D.

the case about an old lady

- 3 -

14. The author suggested that doctors_____ before they assist a patient in killing

himself.

A.

discuss it with the others first

B.

make sure there is no other choice left

C.

be required to do so first by the patient

D.

give the patient enough morphine

of the following can best describe the author?K]

Cruel. B. Determined.

C. Experienced.

D. Considerate.
