问题     Eighteen-year-old Khairul Anuar Salim, who was attacked by hoodlums, succumbed to his wounds because, according to his uncle, a private hospital in Cheras insisted on "Money first then treatment" .【B6】______ They have no intention to treat those who cannot afford to pay. They feel that the government should bear the responsibility for health care of ordinary folks who cannot afford or are unwilling to pay. That is also why they do not release the decease’s body until they secure payment from the next of kin-never mind that the latter are under stress and grieving.【B7】______Doctors have taken their Hippocratic Oath to uphold the special value of human life above personal profit, to use their medical knowledge to ameliorate suffering and pain and in emergencies, do the best for anyone in medical need regardless of their financial means.【B8】______Many join the private hospitals to make money. By itself, there is nothing wrong in making money except that it is difficult to balance the irreconcilable conflict which must invariably exist between the imperatives of profit and those of compassion and care of the Hippocratic Oath.【B9】______ Hence patients may be required to pay $ 10 for toilet rolls, not to mention thousands of dollars for surgery or stay in’ a deluxe room for convalescence. Fast registration, four-star private rooms for recuperation, televisions and toilet rolls are fine but they must be recognized for essentially what they are—mere frills. The main substance of medical attention is proper medical evaluation, correct diagnosis of the problem, advice and treatment including surgery if necessary.【B10】______
A. Administrative staff merely carry out the private hospitals’ policies on charges and billings including "No money no treatment. "
B. Doctors in private hospitals may have to pay high rentals for their clinics and they may even be required to meet some kind of budget to contribute to the common weal of sharing expenses.
C. This is the reason for seeking admission in a hospital in the first instance.
D. In this, they are acting like the banks except that instead of using properties or shares as collateral (担保) for payment, they use the dead person’s body.
E. That is because the bottom line of private hospitals is profit.
F. It is sad that more often than not the Hippocratic Oath has become the hypocritical oath in the case of doctors in the private hospitals. [br] 【B6】
