(单词翻译)
Medical doctors are, by tradition, expected to be incorruptible. I found it incredible, therefore, to learn of recent reports that suggest an inclination1 to ignore patients’ needs, in favour of kickbacks2 from pharmaceutical3 companies. It appears that some doctors are inclined to prescribe medications without regard to their benefit. Frankly4, this is outrageous5 and utterly6 incompatible7 with professional ethics8.
I am just one of many people outside the medical profession who find such transgressions9 quite incomprehensible. Those individuals who are found guilty of unprofessional conduct most certainly incur10 the wrath11 of their patients, who react with incredulity to behaviour that is so outrageously12 incongruous with the standards expected of medical practitioners13. Frankly, many patients are quite upset when they find progessional ethics to be inclined on a downward slope and their trusted doctors incriminated in conduct that in many cases no longer seems to be inclusive of ethics.
A aleading social commertator recently asked the following incisive14 question, “is this kind of behaviour a sign of an incipient15 general malaise in modern society?” he came to thie conclusion:” whatever the answer to that question may be, it is inconceivable that this widespred incongruity16 should be ignored, it will be necessary not only to incorporate stricter penal17 provisions in the medical practitioners code of conduct, but to incise the cancerous growth on the body of the profession.”
The responses from many of those concered have, to a large extent, been incoherent, and some of the evidence is still inconclusive.
