18、issed an appointment,and she called to berate me.Yes,it was my fault,but I think I subconsciously avoided the appointment due to the aggressive communication we had had thus far.I had a sense of what I was getting into when I chose to go with her I was warned about her bedside manner but she came,hi

19、ghly recommended by multiple people,and I did not have the energy to keep looking for other options.So I went with her and made myself ready for the journey.But I was not prepared.She screamed at me for minutes on end,as I sat there,unable to get a word in,feeling terribly guilty and ashamed of the

20、missed appointment and having wasted her time.There was no calm talk about paying for the missed appointment.After the phone call,I felt terrible.I believe that everything happens for a reason,and that everyone we meet comes into our lives for a reason.A week or so later,after telling a friend about

21、 the event,I was blessed with this insight:This womans attacking voice was familiar,and it was personified and strengthened by my harsh(刺耳的),critical inner voice.My friend helped me see what a blessing this encounter was.If I could see my inner critic as this woman with her associated foolish behavi

23、ts of our personality.With this in mind,not only do I need to examine how I view and treat myself,but also other people.So eventually,my encounter with this practitioner was for the best.24.What does the underlined word“berate”in Paragraph 1 mean?A.Scold B.Comfort C.Question D.Contact 25.Why did the

27、e the backbone of any health care system.Countries with appropriate primary care resources score highly when it comes to health outcomes and costs.The U.S.takes the opposite approach by emphasizing the specialists rather than the primary care physician.A recent study analyzed the providers who treat

28、 Medicare Beneficiaries(老年医保受惠人).The startling finding was that the average Medicare patient saw a total of seven doctors two primary care physicians and five specialists in a given year.Contrary to popular belief,the more physicians taking care of you dont guarantee better care.Actually increasing

29、breakup of care results in a corresponding rise in costs and medical errors.How did we let primary care slip so far?The key is how doctors are paid.Most physicians are paid whenever they perform a medical service.The more a physician does,regardless of quality or outcome,the better hes reimbursed(返还

33、ooms being overwhelmed with patients without regular doctors.How do we fix this problem?It starts with reforming the physician reimbursement system.Remove the pressure for primary care physicians to squeeze in more patients per hour,and reward them for optimally managing their diseases and practicing evidence-based medicine.Make primary care more attractive food to medical students by forgiving st
