6 . As medical science develops rapidly with technologies, what is left for the doctor to do?
For medical humanist Dr. Abraham Verghese, the answer is simple: Spend more time getting to know your patients as people. Take the time to read a poem and other literature. Do your part to bridge the gap between the two cultures of science and the humanities.
It takes a doctor who knows a patient’s life history to make the best use of these tools, Verghese said. And that means having insight into human character.
Verghese said machines “have gone beyond human beings in their capacity to care for the patient,” that is, in diagnosing illnesses and indicating the best treatment.
But doctors can awaken the human spirit, the knowledge of human beings and their motivations, which can pull together a life picture of a patient and understand them as more than a collection of symptoms.
Case history: A 64-year-old man admitted to the hospital after repeated falls, pains, and the loss of two teeth that just fell out, with no apparent cause. What was wrong? Was it his medicine? Was it alcohol abuse?
The man rapidly improved after being hospitalized. It turned out he had “bachelor scurvy”, a disease among old men who lives alone, which results from a lack of nutrition.
“He was surviving on no fruits or vegetables, just alcohol and processed meats, I would guess,” Verghese said. “My point here is that this diagnosis, as clever as it was, also might have been made much earlier had we had a good relationship with this patient and had some sense of who that person was, as an individual.”

B.Know more about patients as people. |
C.Try to make an early diagnosis of patients. |
D.Keep up with the development of technology. |

10 . Edith Cavell was born in a small English village. She was a clever, hard-working girl and did well at school, especially in music and French. After she left school, her first job was to take care of the children of a rich family in Belgium. The language they spoke was French, so she found that her school studies were useful. She could understand them easily, at the same time she taught the children to speak English and play the piano.
After hearing that her father was seriously ill, Edith returned home to look after him. She then decided to become a nurse. Afterwards for five years she worked in an English hospital as a nurse where she proved to be highly professional (专业的) at her job. A Belgian (比利时的) doctor was so impressed (印象深的) that he invited her to his country to organize a training school for nurses. The First World War broke out in 1914 and Edith Cavell's school of nursing became a hospital. She stayed there to look after the sick and wounded soldiers. Edith treated them with kindness. Between November 1914 and August 1915 she secretly helped about 200 wounded soldiers and prisoners escape from the Germans. Later the German army found out what Edith had done and they arrested her. Finally, the Germans killed her, but they could not kill her memory. A tall statue (雕塑) has been built in Trafalgar Square, London, in honor of (纪念) the brave English nurse.
