问题     Honesty, my mum always used to tell me, is the best policy. Of course, this didn’ t include her when she told me that if I didn’ t eat all my vegetables Father Christmas would find out and wouldn’ t give me any【C36】______
    But when【C37】______comes to medicine, I had assumed it was important to always be【C38】______with my patients. After all, the doctor-patient relationship is based【C39】______trust, and therefore honesty is essential, or so I thought.
    I had just started working in geriatrics(老年病科). Mr. McMahon was brought in when his belly was found very swollen. I took a medical history from his daughter who had【C40】______him in the ambulance. She’ d been his main carer for years. I stood looking at him【C41】______she gave a detailed history. "Has he lost【C42】______weight recently?" I asked, " Well, it’ s funny you should mention that, but yes. "She said slowly. There was silence for【C43】______moments. "Why? What are you worried about?" she asked, I hesitated. She was obviously very involved in his care and it【C44】______only fair that I told her the truth. "Well, we need to prove it’ s not【C45】______" I said and talked briefly about some of the tests I was going to order.
    Half an hour【C46】______, a nurse called me, " Mr. McMahon’ s daughter broke down—she said you told her he had cancer. "My heart sank. By the time I arrived at the ward, my consultant was already there, explaining that we still had to run lots of【C47】______and that it was by no means confirmed that he had cancer. My consultant was【C48】______angry with me and as we left Mr. McMahon, she turned to me. " Why on earth did you do that?"she asked in disbelief. I looked at her and【C49】______my lip. "She asked me what I was worried about and I told her. "I said, hanging my head. "And give her more to worry about?"I replied my consultant.
    As it turned out, it wasn’ t cancer. But I did【C50】______that when someone is stressed and worried about their loved one, they’ re sometimes selective in what they hear—and as a doctor, it’ s important to be mindful of this. In being honest, I’ d made the situation worse rather than improve it.
【C46】
