题目内容
阅读下列短文,从所给的四个选项中,选出最佳答案
People today expect to be examined when they enter a doctor's office.At least they expect their blood pressure and temperature to be measured.However, as recently as two hundred years ago, a doctor's treatment depended on talking with his patient.In general, the communication between doctors and patients was the base for medical treatment.The modern age of medicine began with the use of stethoscope to listen to a patient's heartbeat and breathing.Before that, a doctor hardly touched his patient.In fact there was no such thing as a medical examination.All treatment was the result of the patient's telling the doctor what the problem was and the doctor's diagnosis(诊断).
The stethoscope and all the other medical instruments are greatly helpful to the practice of medicine.Doctors become better at finding the medical problems.More lives have been saved.At the same time, doctors pay less attention to the communication between patients and doctors.Some doctors actually won't talk to their patients.It is easy to understand why people think of themselves as broken machines.
