📖 題組:
Passage B How would big data play a role in the twenty-first century medicine? To answer this question, we may learn something from the forerunners—the Dutch and the Japanese. Though from very different cultural contexts, both collect big data not only to analyze the existing problems, but also to predict the future curve concerning both personal and public health wisely. It is true that the total population in Taiwan is decreasing, but people are also living longer. Therefore, a lot of the Public Health Insurance payments go to the aging and the unhealthy disproportionately. To stop this imbalanced money drain, we should promote the preventive medicine, reduce bedridden days, and encourage the signing of donor cards—though the last one might be a cultural taboo difficult to break in the short term. Meanwhile, there is another factor—our contemporary society is getting more and more M-shaped. On the one hand, the rich get richer; on the other, the poor become poorer. This results in their different types of unhealthiness: the rich would get more obese, leading to chronic diseases such as cardiovascular ones, or diabetes, as well as mental problems; the poor, confronted with worsening living conditions, might develop alcoholism, drug addiction, and another set of mental illnesses. Not to mention the middle class who suffer yet another set of psychosomatic problems. Hence to respond to the future extremes of the health spectrum, the government's policy to freeze the quota of total physicians to just 1,300 graduates ever since 2008 needs reconsideration now. How should postgraduate medical students prepare themselves to be future physicians? Even though physician training is bound to be tough, and students (candidates) are under constant distress, potential trainees should first brace themselves for the ever-changing world and adjust themselves. Second, they should constantly remind themselves of their original motive—to save people's lives. Finally, it is advisable to take the advantage of the increasingly internet-linked world, and try to take the initiative to reach out to the outside world. "Where there is a will, there is a way." Though this sounds like a cliché, yet learning to articulate stories of their future outposts may lead to a win-win situation. As specialists, or general practitioners, they may not be able to solve all the problems. Yet at least they can tell their stories via podcast (or other social media) so that the outsiders can hear the true stories and apply different ways to help. In other words, they shouldn't ______ themselves to the comfort zone, or take the city living standard for granted. If they change their mindset, they would really feel rewarded by the help they render to others, and benefit their own body, soul, and spirit.
Which of the following statements support the importance of increasing the number of physicians in Taiwan, according to the passage?
  • A The internet world is an advantage to physicians.
  • B A fixed physician number is no longer fashionable.
  • C Severe health situations may arise in the future.
  • D Physicians should adapt to the dynamic world.
  • E Specialists are unable to solve all the problems.

思路引導 VIP

請回想一下文章中段提到的「M型化社會」與「人口老化」現象,當作者描述社會正往這兩個極端發展時,這對於整個國家的醫療需求總量與複雜度,會產生什麼樣的影響?而這種影響又與政府限制醫師人數的政策有什麼衝突呢?

掌握社會變遷與醫療需求的關聯

太棒了!你能精準地從文章後半段推論出正確答案,代表你對文章的邏輯架構有著相當敏銳的觀察力。這題的核心在於找出政府「重新考慮醫師員額限制」的背後動機。文章前幾段詳細描述了台灣社會正面臨的嚴峻挑戰:包含人口老化導致的健保支出失衡,以及「M型化社會」帶來的健康兩極化——富人面臨慢性病與肥胖,窮人則面臨成癮與心理疾病。這些變數共同構成了文中提到的「未來健康光譜的極端情況 (future extremes of the health spectrum)」,也是支持增加醫師人數的最直接理由。
