Re: [CR. ] PP-3-110
※ 引述《chances (definitely,maybe)》之銘言:
: Of patients over 65 years old who survived coronary bypass surgery—a
: procedure widely prescribed for people with heart disease—only 75 percent
: benefited from the surgery. Thus it appears that for one in four such
: patients, the doctors who advised them to undergo this surgery, with its
: attendant risks and expense, were more interested in an opportunity to
: practice their skills and in their fee than in helping the patient.
: Which of the following, if true, most seriously undermines the argument?
重點應該是這句:
the doctors who advised them to undergo this surgery, with its attendant risks
and expense, were more interested in an opportunity to practice their skills
and in their fee than in helping the patient.
和幫助病患相比,醫生想多做手術練習€增加收入。
(與其說幫助病患,倒不如說是醫生想多動手術來增加收入。)
: A. Many of the patients who receive coronary bypass surgery are less than 55
: years old.
: B. Possible benefits of coronary bypass surgery include both relief from
: troubling symptoms and prolongation of life.
: D. The patients over 65 years old who did not benefit from the coronary
: bypass surgery were as fully informed as those who did benefit from the
: surgery as to the risks of the surgery prior to undergoing it.
以上題目皆未提到,無法判斷。
: C. Most of the patients in the survey decided to undergo coronary bypass
: surgery because they were advised that the surgery would reduce their risk of
: future heart attacks.
可能因為題目第一句:Of patients over 65 years old who survived coronary bypass
surgery — a procedure widely prescribed for people with heart disease,會選它
為答案,但仔細一看,應該不太一樣。
題目描述的是“事實”,即“有心臟疾病的病患,醫生大多採coronary bypass surgery來
治療”;但選項C說的是“因果關係”,即“大部分病患決定動手術是因為(被告知)手術可
以降低以後心臟病發的風險”。
所以答案是:
: E. The patients who underwent coronary bypass surgery but who did not benefit
: from it were medically indistinguishable, prior to their surgery, from the
: patients who did benefit.
不管手術對心臟病患有沒有效,在動手術之前,醫療上的判斷(醫生診斷或給病人的建議)
都一樣。換句話說,患有心臟肌病,不管隨之而來的風險和費用,醫生一致建議病人動手
術,因為一來可以增進醫術(練習機會),二來增加收入。

題外話,這是所謂的白色巨塔真相嗎? Orz'
