Name Brand Medically Necessary:Do Not Substitute

Charles Mason,MD;Amy Givler,MD

Monroe,La

I first learned that Mr B was my patient when the radiologist called me early one morning. "We can't do the barium swallow,"he said,"because Mr B keeps spitting it out on the table."

"Okay,"I replied."Send him back to his room."I am an attending physician in a teaching https://www.wendangku.net/doc/62369495.html,te the night before,Mr B had been sent from the local veterans home to our emergency department,and the resident on my team had admitted him.

Outside Mr B's room,I looked over his records.Three days earlier he had stopped taking anything by mouth,including liquids and his medication for hypertension,depression,and https://www.wendangku.net/doc/62369495.html,st night the veterans home staff hadn't been able to arouse him and had sent him to our ED.They suspected that he had had a stroke.

I walked into Mr B's room and introduced myself.He was sitting up in bed and alert —after his night of intravenous fluids.He could speak but he was confused.His legs were weak,which had kept him bedridden for months,but otherwise his examination was unremarkable.

I offered him a glass of water with a straw.He sucked a mouthful but I noticed he didn't swallow it."Swallow that down,Mr B,"I said.He swallowed,then sucked another mouthful. "Swallow again,Mr B."He swallowed.

I called Mr B's physician at the veterans home.Mr B had lived there for a year,having arrived after a long stint at the veterans hospital.Before that he had been homeless.There had never been any contact with family.Mr B had a long history of alcohol and drug abuse and had been diagnosed with dementia.

（PS:The way to contact yumingkaobo TEL:si ling ling-liu liu ba-liu jiu qi ba QQ:772678537) The trouble started in the early afternoon.

A nutritionist paged me while I was seeing my clinic patients."Dr Mason,the nutritional support team just met and discussed Mr B,your patient with the stroke,and we have several concerns.He hasn't eaten for4days now,and we want you to address his nutritional needs. We want to know how you are going to evaluate his dysphagia and feel you should place a feeding tube or start hyperalimentation until his problem improves or you decide to place a PEG tube."

"Thank you,"I replied."But I don't think he's had a stroke and I don't think he has dysphagia.I think he's just reached a point in his dementia where he can't remember to swallow. His albumin is normal,which tells me his diet has been adequate until recently.Try hand-feeding him,but be sure to remind him to swallow."

Silence."I see,"she said."We'll try that.And what about the PEG tube?He wouldn't have to be put to sleep to put it in."

"I know that,"I said,"but there's no evidence that PEG tubes benefit patients with

advanced dementia."

More silence."Thank you,Dr Mason,"she said,"but I do hope you'll reconsider."

The next morning Mr B's CT scan report read,"Diffuse cerebral atrophy with no focal lesions."I entered his room and found it dark with Mr B asleep.I opened the blinds,awakening him,and saw that his breakfast tray was nearly intact.A few bites of scrambled egg were on his gown where he'd spit them out.

"Good morning,"I said,pulling up a chair.I offered him a bite of scrambled eggs.He took it readily and then worked it to the front of his mouth."No,no,Mr B,don't spit that. Swallow it."

Mr B swallowed the eggs.

I opened the milk carton,inserted the straw,and—with my prompting—he drank the milk down.

Outside the room,a nurse approached me."Dr Mason,Mr B is spitting out all his food.

I kept on feeding him,but then he choked.I spoke with the head nurse and we think he is at risk for aspiration.What about a feeding tube?"

"No,no,no,"I replied."He just needs to be told to swallow with each bite."The head nurse walked up."Just now,"I said,"I had no trouble getting him to eat and drink."Both nurses stared at me with pressed lips,their arms crossed.They think I want Mr B to suffer and starve,I thought.

I needed to get on with rounds."Look,"I said,"I'll consult the ethics committee,which is meeting this week."At that they looked satisfied.

The next day I found myself once again alone with Mr B in his room.His breakfast was untouched."Mr B,do you get hungry?"

"Oh,yes,Doctor,sometimes I like to starve."

"Why don't you eat when the nurses feed you?"

"I don't know,Doctor.Nobody ever gives me no food I can eat."

I fed him a few bites of his oatmeal—reminding him when to swallow."Mr B,we could do a small operation to put a tube in your stomach to feed you without your having to remember to swallow.Would you like that?"

"Oh,no,Doctor.I don't want nothing like that."

"Okay,Mr B.Don't you worry."

By noon three separate nurses had called me,concerned about Mr B's nutritional state. Finally I ordered peripheral hyperalimentation."But only if he's able to keep a functional IV line,"I said.I think I was yelling The next day was the ethics committee meeting.I spoke first.I presented Mr B's case,then plopped a pile of articles onto the table."Here are recent articles that argue against the use of PEG tubes in dementia,"I said."What Mr B needs is careful hand-feeding with prompted swallowing."

"Thank you,Charles,"said the committee head.

"Have you considered a nasal feed tube or central line hyperalimentation?"someone asked.

"He'd pull out a nasal tube,"I replied,"and I think he'd refuse a central line."

"Then you must restrain him so the tube stays in."

"I will not order restraints on Mr B,"I said.

The debate was lively.Had Mr B had a stroke?Was he competent—and so can legally refuse all procedures,as he is doing?Or was he incompetent—and can't consent to any procedure?

I left the committee meeting with homework—keep Mr B on peripheral hyperalimentation, get his veterans hospital records,and contact our hospital's attorney about the competence issue.

The next morning on rounds as I approached Mr B's room,I grumbled to myself,Why am I the only person who can get this man to eat?Then I stopped and thought,I don't have to be.

I went to the rear of the nurses station—past nurses who glared at me and then looked at each other knowingly—and grabbed a packet of crackers and a carton of milk."Come with me,all of you,"I called out to everyone at the station."And send for the head nurse —and page the director of nursing too!"

When everyone was assembled at Mr B's bedside,I opened the cracker packet."Are you hungry,Mr B?"

"Oh,yes,Doctor!"

I fed him a piece of cracker.He chewed slowly and then seemed to be preparing to spit. But I was watching for that."Swallow,Mr B,"I said firmly.He swallowed and then opened his mouth for another bite.He finished the saltines,then started on the milk.

Gradually the tense atmosphere in the room lifted.Hostile expressions changed into amazed ones.

"Mr B,"I asked,"what do you want to eat?"

"Well,Doctor,I wish I had some Jimmy Dean sausage."

Now I'm a southern country boy too,so I knew that further clarification was necessary. "Patty or link?"

"Patty."

"Mild or spicy?"

"Mild."

The nurses were now caught up in the spirit of the situation.They peppered Mr B with questions.Soon a tray arrived from the kitchen with eggs,grits,and bacon—no sausage available.Mr B wouldn't touch the bacon,but I worked butter into the grits and he ate them eagerly.A nurse took over and I went back to get his chart."Jimmy Dean mild patty sausage with every meal,"I wrote.

The ward clerk smiled brightly as I handed her the chart.An hour later I got a call from the kitchen.Did I really want someone to go to the store to buy Jimmy Dean mild patty sausage?

"Yes,indeed,"I replied.

The next day I discharged Mr B back to the veterans home.On his diet order I wrote, "Jimmy Dean mild patty sausage daily with https://www.wendangku.net/doc/62369495.html, BRAND MEDICALLY NECESSARY.DO NOT SUBSTITUTE."

考博英语(阅读理解)-试卷80.doc

考博英语（阅读理解）-试卷80 (总分：40.00，做题时间：90分钟) 一、Reading Comprehensio(总题数：4，分数：40.00) Too much alcohol dulls your senses, but a study in Japan shows that moderate drinkers have a higher IQ than teetotalers. Researchers at the National Institute for Longevity Sciences in Aichi Prefecture, 250 kilometers west of Tokyo, tested the IQs of 2000 people between the ages of 40 and 79. They found that, on average, men who drank moderately — defined as less than 540 milliliters of sake or wine a day — had an IQ that was 3. 3 points higher that men who did not drink at all. Women drinkers scored 2. 5 points higher than female teetotalers. The type of alcohol didn't influence the results. The volunteers tried a variety of tipples, which ranged from beer and whisky to wine and sake. The researchers are quick to point out that the results do not necessarily show that drinking will make you more intelligent. "It's very difficult to show a cause-effect relationship," says senior researcher Hiroshi Shimokata. "We screened subjects for factors such as income and education, but there may be other factors such as lifestyle and nutritional intake. " Shimokata says that people who drink sake, or Japanese rice wine, tend to eat more raw fish. This could be a factor in enhanced intelligence, as fish often contain essential fatty acids that have been linked to brain development. Similarly, wine drinkers eat a lot of cheese, which is not something Japanese people normally consume or buy. Shimokata says the high fat content of cheese is thought to be good for the brain. If alcoholic drinks are directly influencing IQ, Shimokata believes chemicals such as polyphenols could be the critical factor. They are known to have antioxidant properties and other beneficial effects on ageing bodies, such as dilating constricted coronary arteries. The study is part of a wider research project to find out why brain function deteriorates with age.（分数：10.00） (1).The Japanese study was carried out on______.（分数：2.00） A.the development of IQ B.the secret of longevity C.the brain food in a glass D.the amount of healthy drinking (2).The Japanese researchers found a higher IQ in______.（分数：2.00） A.female teetotalers than in male ones B.female drinkers than in male ones C.moderate drinkers D.teetotalers (3).When he says that it is very difficult to show cause-effect relationship, Shimokata means that______.（分数：2.00） A.the study failed to involve such variables as income and education B.he is doubtful of the findings of the investigation C.there are some other contributing factors D.the results were just misleading (4).From Shimokata's mention of fish and cheese we can infer that in enhancing intelligence______.（分数：2.00） A.sake or wine is a perfect match for fish and cheese B.they promote the drinking effect of sake or wine C.they are not as effective as sake and wine D.sake or wine is not alone (5).Based on the study, Shimokata would say that______.（分数：2.00） A.intelligence improves with age

(完整版)复旦大学2015年考博英语试题回忆版整理

2015年考博单选：有少部分原题（出自曾建彬《研究生英语》《研究生高级英语》）阅读理解：第一篇：Education is one of the key words of our time. A man without an education, most of us believe, is an unfortunate victim of adverse circumstances, deprived of one of the greatest twentieth-century opportunities. Convinced of the importance of education, modern states "invest" in institutions of learning to get back "interest" in the form. of a large group of enlightened young men and women who are potential leaders. Education, with its cycles of instruction so carefully worked out, punctuated by textbooks—that purchasable wells of wisdom—what would civilization be like without its benefits? So much is certain: that we would have doctors and preachers, lawyers and defendants, marriages and births—but our spiritual outlook would be different. We would lay less stress on "facts and figures" and more on a good memory, on applied psychology, and the capacity of a man is to get along with his fellow-citizens. If our educational system were fashioned after its bookless past we would have the most democratic form. of "college" imaginable. Among tribal people all knowledge inherited by tradition is shared by all; it is taught to every member of the tribe so that in this respect every- body is equipped for life. It is the ideal condition of the "equal start" which only our most progressive forms of modern education try to regain. In primitive cultures the obligation to seek and to receive the traditional instruction is binding to all. There are no "illiterates"—if the term can be applied to peoples without a script—while our own compulsory school attendance became law in Germany in 1642, in France in 1806, and in England in 1876, and is still non-existent in a number of "civilized" nations. This shows how long it was before we deemed it necessary to make sure that all our children could share in the knowledge accumulated by the "happy few" during the past centuries. Education in the wilderness is not a matter of monetary means. All are entitled to an equal start. There is none of the hurry, which, in our society, often hampers the full development of a growing personality. There, a child grows up under the ever-present attention of his parents' and therefore the jungles and the savannahs know of no "juvenile delinquency". No necessity of making a living away from home results in neglect of children, and no father is confronted with his inability to "buy" an education for his child.

北京外国语大学考博英语阅读真题解析

北京外国语大学考博英语阅读真题解析Text4 It’s no surprise that Jennifer Senior’s insightful, provocative magazine cover story,“I love My Children,I Hate My Life,”is arousing much chatter–nothing gets people talking like the suggestion that child rearing is anything less than a completely fulfilling,life-enriching experience.Rather than concluding that children make parents either happy or miserable,Senior suggests we need to redefine happiness:instead of thinking of it as something that can be measured by moment-to-moment joy,we should consider being happy as a past-tense condition.Even though the day-to-day experience of raising kids can be soul-crushingly hard,Senior writes that“the very things that in the moment dampen our moods can later be sources of intense gratification and delight.” （PS:The way to contact yumingkaobo TEL:si ling ling-liu liu ba-liu jiu qi ba QQ:772678537)毫无疑问，Jennifer Senior在有煸动意味的的杂志封面故事中表达了她的独到见解，“我爱我的孩子们，我讨厌我的生活”——这唤起了人们的谈兴。人们一谈到养孩子就会觉得这是一件完全令人愉悦、生活充实的事情。Jennifer Senior没有指出养孩子到底是使得父母快乐呢还是痛苦呢，她倒是认为，我们需要重新定义幸福：幸福不应该是一个个瞬间的快乐组合的可以被衡量的东西;我们应该把幸福视为一种过去式的状态。尽管抚养孩子的日子漫长难熬，令人筋疲力尽，但是Jennifer Senior认为，正是那些心绪沉重的时刻，日后却成为我们欢乐的源泉。 The magazine cover showing an attractive mother holding a cute

考博英语阅读理解模拟练习(一)

The physical distribution of products has two primary aspects:transportation and storage. Both aspects are highly developed and specialized phases of marketing.The costs of both trans-porting and storing are built into the prices of products.Transportation can be by truck, rail-way,ship,or barge.For some items,such as exotic plants and flowers,or when rapid delivery is essential,air freight may be used. Storage,or warehousing,is a necessary function because production and consumption of goods rarely match:items generally are not sold as quickly as they are made.Inventories build up, both in warehouses and at retail establishments,before the foods are sold.The transporta-tion function is involved in bringing goods to a warehouse and taking them from it to retail stores. Storage performs the service of stabilizing market price.If,for example,no agricultural product could be stored,all food would have to be put on the market immediately.This would,of course,create a glut and lower prices drastically.There would be an immediate benefit to consumers,but in the long run they would suffer.Farmers,because of low prices,would be forced off the land,and the amount of food produced would decrease.This,in turn,would raise consumer prices. Warehouses for storage are of several types.Private warehouses are owned by manufactur-ers. Public warehouses,in spite of their name,are privately owned facilities,but they are in-dependent of manufacturer ownership.General-merchandise warehouses store a great variety of products. Cold-storage warehouses store perishable goods,especially food products.Grain ele-vators are a kind of warehouse used to keep wheat and other grains from spoiling.A bonded warehouse is one that stores foods,frequently imported,on which taxes must be paid before they are sold. Cigarettes and alcoholic beverages are common examples. The distribution center is a more recently developed kind of warehouse.Many large com-panics have several manufacturing plants,sometimes located outside the country.Each plant does not make every company product but specializes in one or more of them.The distribution center allows a manufacturer to bring together all product lines in one place.Its purpose is to minimize storage and to ease the flow of goods from manufacturers to retailers rather than build up extensive inventories.It reduces costs by speeding up product turnover.Very large corporations will have several distribution centers regionally or internationally based 1.The main subject of this passage is______. A)transportation and storage B)storage of products C)distribution center

考博心得之考博英语阅读理解

考博心得之考博英语阅读理解阅读理解在大家看来，是英语考试中最关键的部分，因为这部分所占的分数最多，在试卷中的地位举足轻重。有很多方面的书籍，介绍大家如何来提高阅读理解水平，却很少提到不同类别的英语考试试卷中，都有自己的出题特点。其结果是，大凡英语考试，大家都采用几乎一样的思考模式，这在相当程度上影响了具体类别考试复习时的针对性。首先，介绍如何提高阅读理解的基本功很多参考书中（推荐一本考博英语阅读理解精练220篇(上下册)）。都提到在阅读时，不能读出声来，要快速的阅读。要达到这个水平需要相当的训练，可惜的是大部分考生由于各种原因，没有这样的条件。根据个人的体会，阅读中，碰到的最大问题往往不是理解不了其中内容，经常让人头痛的是阅读过程中，会在一些关键地方碰到自己不认识的单词，大大影响了自己对文章的领悟。所以第一个基本功还是词汇部分，我们不需要把大纲中所有的词汇（考博英语10000词汇详解）都会拼写，因为除了写作之外，会认某个词与会写某个词没区别，即使是写作，用到的词也都是常见的。学会用自己的呼吸来控制自己的阅读，进而提高阅读速度。这点可能不少朋友没有听说过吧，对，这是我自己体会后总结出来的。针对一个句子，大家要学着在吸气的过程中，看明白前半部分的意思，而在呼气的过程中，看明白后一半的内容。开始训练时，大部分人达不到这个要求，没关系，重新吸气，呼气，直到这个句子看懂。选择的文章不要太难，但也不能过于简单，仔细体会这个过程。我比较推荐的一个方法是：充分利用选择填空题目，在要填空的位置上，先写上正确的答案，然后尝试着在一个呼吸过程中看懂它所表述的意思。这不仅将来能提高选择填空的阅读速度，也提高了语感。当训练的差不多后，可以转入阅读文章了，把呼吸和大脑的思维连贯性统一起来。其次，阅读理解过程中，需要从头读到尾吗？这个问题，我也曾经问了自己很多次。经过尝试后，我总结的经验是没必要。说起来大家可能不相信，我觉得阅读理解，如其说是阅读，不如说是把文章的内容结构搞懂：这篇阅读理解分了几个段落？每个段落中最重要的那个主旨句要表达的是什么意思？文章作者是以什么口气、什么态度来看待自己文章所描述的内容的？实际就是从宏观上把握作者的意图全面阅读有什么不？第一个就是浪费时间，考试中的时间是最宝贵的，如果费了不少时间读懂了文章的某些内容（即使是比较重要的），可偏巧这在后边的题目中又没有体现出来，不就是浪费时间和精力吗？第二就是使得人容易忘记其他部分的内容，当我们看第一段的时候，看明白它的内容了，可当你把最后一段也看懂之，第一段的内容你还能记得多少呢？这个问题在阅读理解进行到第三篇，第四篇的时候尤其突出，以至于头晕脑胀。相信很多人有这个感觉，英语考试过程中，觉得自己脑力不够用，或者考试结束后有朦胧的倦意。这对后边题目的完成绝对是个巨大威胁。第三就是缺乏对整个文章的理解，由于在全面阅读过程中，人的精力集中在具体句子的理解上，冲淡了整体的认识，而几乎每个阅读理解后的题目中，总少不了1个或2个关于文章整体概括性的题目，稍有偏差，就会出错。

Others prefer to live in a big city. Which place would you prefer to live in? Use specific reasons and details to support your answer. 【正文】 People seldom agree with each other even in such trivial issues as preference between a big city and a small town. It's a little bit haste to say that it is better to live in a big city than to live in a small town, or vice versus. Living in a big city has several benefits. First, there're more job opportunities readily available in big cities than in a small town. Furthermore, not merely there are more job positions in big cities, the qualities of the position are much higher as well. In addition, the pay is more decent. Second, children are supposed to be able to receive an education with a higher quality compared with their counterparts who live in a small town. For families, children's education is always put in the first place. Finally, living in a big city has a superior overall living standard to that in a small town. There are more commodities and services in city markets; there are more public utilities available in big cities; there are even much more television channels in big cities. However, living in a small town also has some advantages. People who live in a small town often have a much comfortable life style. Most of them are immune from suffering of high working stress. Although the average pay is much less than that of big cities, the price of daily necessities, such as vegetables or meat, is usually more inexpensive. Instead of suffering loneliness which is prevalent in big cities, children might grow up more healthily because of harmonious relationship among residents in small town. People in a small town do not have to get up so early in the morning because there has been no traffic jam, and no body drive so fast in a small town as to cause accidents. They might have fewer channels in television, but they have more friends readily available to chat or entertain with. According to my current situation, although I am longing for the cozy atmosphere and relationship among neighbors and friends which almost only exist in big cities, I have chosen to live in one of the biggest cities in my country --- Beijing, since I have found a pretty good job here, and a decent pay. I think I would prefer living a small town when I get retired one day.

中央民族大学考博英语阅读真题及其解析

中央民族大学考博英语阅读真题及其解析When I decided to quit my full time employment it never occurred to me that I might become a part of a new international trend.A lateral move that hurt my pride and blocked my professional progress prompted me to abandon my relatively high profile career although,in the manner of a disgraced government minister,I covered my exit by claiming“I wanted to spend more time with my family". Curiously,some two-and-a-half years and two novels later,my experiment in what the Americans term"downshifting"has turned my tired excuse into an absolute reality.I have been transformed from a passionate advocate of the philosophy of“have it all",preached by Linda Kelsey for the past seven years in the pages of She magazine, into a woman who is happy to settle for a bit of everything. I have discovered,as perhaps Kelsey will after her Geng duo yuan xiao zhen ti ji qi jie xi qing lian xi quan guo mian fei zi xun dian hua:si ling ling liu liu ba liu jiu qi ba,huo jia zi xun qq:qi qi er liu qi ba wu san qi much-publicized resignation from the editorship of She after a build-up of stress,that abandoning the doctrine of "juggling your life",and making the alternative move into “downshifting”brings with it far greater rewards than financial success and social status.Nothing could persuade me to return to the kind of life Kelsey used to advocate and I once enjoyed:12-hour working days,pressured deadlines,the fearful strain of office politics and the limitations of being a parent on“quality time”.
