[00:00.40]易考范文二十五
[00:04.54]In the above drawing, a patient
[00:08.83]who is seriously ill pleads with a doctor
[00:11.53]for donation to have his disease cured,
[00:14.26]but the doctor, who insists on the principle
[00:17.45]that the donation must be earmarked by
[00:19.91]its specified purpose only, refuses him.
[00:23.15]It seems to me that the picture aims to
[00:25.88]criticize the inflexibility in applying rules and regulations.
[00:30.19]The flexibility does not exclusively exist
[00:33.57]in distributing donation;
[00:35.41]this phenomenon is rather wide-spread in the society.
[00:39.73]Another case in point is that doctors
[00:42.70]are not allowed to operate on patients
[00:45.10]without the latter's family members' signature for approval.
[00:48.73]It was reported that some patients died
[00:51.50]when their relatives refused to sign and doctors,
[00:54.50]mechanically conforming to the regulation,
[00:57.13]did nothing but stand by,
[00:58.93]though they were well aware of
[01:00.83]the urgency of the situation.
[01:02.70]As can be seen from the case,
[01:05.06]rigidity might result in tragedies.
[01:08.57]Similarly, great losses can be caused by
[01:12.31]inflexible implementation of policies
[01:15.27]without considering the characteristics of particular areas.
[01:19.36]It is true that we are supposed to abide
[01:22.91]by laws and regulations,
[01:24.67]but under some special circumstances,
[01:27.16]we should take humane or adaptable approaches,
[01:30.63]which enable us to save more lives and avoid more loss. |
