　　Patients and doctors

　　病人与医生

　　This is a sceptical age, but although our faith in many of the things in

　　which our forefathers fervently believed has weakened, our confidence in the

　　curative properties of the bottle of medicine remains the same as theirs. This

　　modern faith in medicines is proved by the fact that the annual drug bill of the

　　Health Services is mounting to astronomical figures and shows no signs at

　　present of ceasing to rise. The majority of the patients attending the medical

　　out-patients departments of our hospitals feel that they have not received

　　adequate treatment unless they are able to carry home with them some tangible

　　remedy in the shape of a bottle of medicine, a box of pills, or a small jar of

　　ointment, and the doctor in charge of the department is only too ready to

　　provide them with these requirements. There is no quicker method of disposing of

　　patients than by giving them what they are asking for, and since most medical

　　men in the Health Services are overworked and have little time for offering

　　time-consuming and little-appreciated advice on such subjects as diet, right

　　living, and the need for abandoning bad habits etc., the bottle, the box, and

　　the jar are almost always granted them.

　　这是一个怀疑一切的时代，可是虽然我们对我们祖先笃信的许多事物已不太相信，我们对瓶装药品疗效的信心仍与祖辈一样坚定。卫生部门的年度药费上升到了天文数字，并且目前尚无停止上升的迹象，这个事实证实了现代人对药物的依赖。在医院门诊部看病的大多数人觉得，如果不能带回一些看得见、摸得着的药物，如一瓶药水，一盒药丸、一小瓶药膏回家的话，就没算得到了充分的治疗。负责门诊的医生也非常乐意为前来看病的人提供他们想要得到的药物，病人要什么就给什么，没有比这样处理病人更快的方法了。因为卫生部门的大多数医生超负荷工作，所以没有多少时间提出一些既费时而又不受人欢迎的忠告，如注意饮食、生活有规律，需要克服坏习惯等等，结果就是把瓶药、盒药、罐药开给看病的人而完事大吉。
