A COLLECTION OF GOOD WORDS
医疗
Medical
Modern medicine is a negation of health. It isn't organized to serve human health, but only itself, as an institution. It makes more people sick than it heals.
现代医学是对健康的否定。它的组织不是为了服务于人类健康,而是作为一个机构本身。它让更多的人生病,而不是治愈。
A pregnant woman facing the most dire circumstances must be able to count on her doctor to do what is medically necessary to protect her from serious physical harm.

If you look at the human condition today, not everyone is well fed, has access to good medical care, or the physical basics that provide for a healthy and a happy life.
如果你看看今天的人类状况,并不是每个人都吃得很好,都能获得良好的医疗保健,也不是每个人都能获得健康快乐生活的基本物质条件。
Mammograms are really sort of a gift. You can either catch something early or count your lucky stars because nothing was discovered. Either way, you're ahead of the game.
乳房x光检查确实是一种礼物。你可以早早地抓住一些东西,或者数一数你的幸运之星,因为什么也没发现。无论哪种方式,你都是领先的。
The great secret of doctors, known only to their wives, but still hidden from the public, is that most things get better by themselves; most things, in fact, are better in the morning.

The sort of thinking at the time was, 'Well, we're giving you access to medical care which you wouldn't otherwise be able to get, so your payment is that we get to use you in research.'

I can help a lot of other people who've gone through the same thing by building a center that will help men and women who don't have the funds to take care of themselves and get the medical treatment.
我可以帮助很多经历过同样事情的人,建立一个中心,帮助那些没有钱照顾自己和接受治疗的人。
We need to bridge the gap between the medical libraries and the hospital rooms; take the information out there already, add to it, focus it, harness it - and bring it to the patient who was just diagnosed today.
我们需要弥合医学图书馆和医院病房之间的差距;把已经得到的信息拿出来,添加到其中,集中精力,驾驭它——然后把它带给今天刚刚被诊断出来的病人。
Corporate governance is a huge issue too. We don't have women on these corporate boards. More than half of the students in law school are women, more than half of the women, I think, in medical school now are women.
公司治理也是一个大问题。我们的公司董事会中没有女性。法学院超过一半的学生是女性,我想,现在医学院超过一半的学生是女性。
There have been some medical schools in which somewhere along the assembly line, a faculty member has informed the students, not so much by what he said but by what he did, that there is an intimate relation between curing and caring.

As a medical doctor, it is my duty to evaluate the situation with as much data as I can gather and as much expertise as I have and as much experience as I have to determine whether or not the wish of the patient is medically justified.
作为一名医生,我有责任用我所能收集到的尽可能多的数据、我所拥有的尽可能多的专业知识和我所拥有的尽可能多的经验来评估这种情况,以确定病人的愿望在医学上是否合理。
Another cause of change, one less noticeable but fundamental, is the modern growth of population closely connected with scientific and medical discoveries. It is interesting that the United Nations has set up a special Commission to study this question.
另一个变化的原因是与科学和医学发现密切相关的现代人口增长,虽然不那么明显,但却是根本性的。有趣的是,联合国已经设立了一个特别委员会来研究这个问题。
KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题,再读几句。
They certainly give very strange names to diseases.
它们给疾病起了很奇怪的名字。
