Organ Donation and Transplantation

1 Organ donation（捐献）and transplantation（移植）refers to the process by which organs or tissues
from one person are put into another person's body.
2 The number of people needing a transplant continues to rise faster than the number of donors.About
3,700 transplant candidates are added to the national waiting list each month.Each day,about 77 people
receive organ transplants.However,18 people die each day waiting for transplants that can't take place
because of the shortage of donated organs.
3 There are rio age limits on who can donate.Newborns as well as senior citizens have been organ
donors. If you are under age 18 , you must have a parent's or guardian's consent（同意）.If you are 18 years or
older,you can show you want to be an organ and tissue donor by signing a donor card.
4 Many people think that if they agree to donate their organs,the doctor or the emergency room staff
won't work as hard to save their life.This is not true.The transplant team is completely separate from the
medical staff working to save your life.The transplant team does not become involved with you until doctors
have determined that all possible efforts to save your life have failed.
5 If you need an organ transplant,your doctor will help you get on the national waiting list.Your name
will be added to a pool of names.When an organ donor becomes available,all the patients in the pool are
compared to that donor. Factors such as blood and tissue type, size of the organ, medical urgency（紧急）of
the patient's illness , time already spent on the waiting list, and distance between donor and recipient（接受
者）are considered.

Paragraph 5 _________
A: Quality of Donated Organs
B: Benefits of Organ Donation
C:Distribution of Donated Organs
D:Quality of Donor Medical Care

Do Patients Trust Doctors Too Much?

Earlier this year,the American College of Surgeons,the national scientific and educational organization
of surgeons,conducted a nationwide survey that found that the average patient devotes an hour or less to re-
searching his or her surgery or surgeon.While prospective patients worry about the costs or complications of
an operation,they don't necessarily look for information that would address their concerns.
In fact,more than a third of patients who had an operation in the last five years never reviewed the cre-
dentials of the surgeon who operated.Patients are more likely to spend time researching a job change(on
average,about 10 hours)or a new car(8 hours)than the operation they are about to submit to or the surgeon
who wields（支配）the knife. And many patients are satisfied with the answers they receive from their sur -
geons or primary care doctors,whoever those individuals happen to be.
I felt curious about the survey,so I called Dr. Thomas Russell,executive director of the American
College of Surgeons."There is a tendency for patients not to get particularly involved and not to feel com-
pelled to look into their surgery or surgeons,"he told me.
There are consequences to that kind of blind trust."Today,medicine and surgery are really team
sports,"Dr. Russell continued,"and the patient,as the ultimate decision-maker,is the most important mem-
ber of the team.Mistakes can happen,and patients have to be educated and must understand what is
going on."
In other words,a healthy doctor-patient relationship does not simply entail good bedside manners and re-
sponsible office management on the part of the doctor. It also requires that patients come to the relationship
educated about their doctors,their illnesses and their treatment.
"If we are truly going to reform the health care system in the U.S.,"Dr. Russell said,"everybody has
to participate actively and must educate themselves.That means doctors,nurses,other health care
professionals , lawyers , pharmaceutical（制药的）companies , and insurance companies. But most of all , it
means the patient."
Trust is important. But as Sir Francis Bacon,who was among the first to understand the importance of
gathering data in science,once observed,knowledge is power.

Medicine and surgery are now really team sports in which__________.
A:patients and doctors play equally important roles
B:the patient does not have an active role to play
C:doctors have the final say in almost everything
D:the patient has the most important role to play
