In Kantovia, physicians' income comes from insurance companies, which require physicians to document their decisions in treating patients and to justify deviations from the companies' treatment guidelines. Ten years ago physicians were allowed more discretion. Most physicians believe that the companies' requirements now prevent them from spending enough time with patients. Yet the average amount of time a patient spends with a physician during an office visit has actually increased somewhat over the last ten years.
Which of the following, if true, most helps to resolve the apparent discrepancy between physicians' perceptions and the change in the actual time spent?
Patients are more likely to be in a hurry nowadays and are less willing to wait a long time to see their physician.
Physicians today typically have a wider range of options in diagnosis and treatment to consider with the patient before prescribing.
Physicians are increasingly likely to work in group practices, sharing the responsibility of night and weekend work.
Most patients would rather trust their physicians than their insurance companies to make decisions about their treatment.
Since the insurance companies pay physicians a set amount for each office visit, it is to physicians' financial advantage to see as many patients as possible.
医生觉得时间不够用【而不是时间变短!!!】,但病人却觉得看病时间变长了----为什么?其实原文已经给出了部分答案:保险公司require physicians to document their decisions in treating patients and to justify deviations from the companies' treatment guidelines所以花在记录上的时间就很长,而B中,因为选择的范围变广了,就进一步使花费的时间变长了,从而使医生觉得时间不够用。
