Nowadays, many people turn to the Internet to solve a multitude of medical quandaries, extending even to the matters of how to find a doctor and access medical treatment. Concerning patients being defrauded of money and sometimes having their condition worsen owing to incorrect diagnoses, the government announced that medical diagnosis and treatment will be forbidden online. The hard stance has proved controversial. The following are opinions from both sides. Read the excerpts carefully and write your response in NO LESS THAN 300 words, in which you should:
1. summarize briefly the opinions from both sides;
2. give your comment.
Medical Service Providers
Wu Jie: Contrary to popular belief, this field is nothing new. Since the late 1990s, some Western countries have operated online medical treatment systems on a trial basis. The practice was once also banned in Britain, but finally the government had to recognize medical treatment websites facing the rising tide of the Internet. Nowadays, online treatment is helping more and more patients in Western countries. Of course, online medical treatment also has shortcomings. Sometimes patients need to have a thorough physical examination, which is near impossible to carry out online. However, if the medical treatment system is not well managed, problems may occur even when patients attend brick-and-mortar hospitals. Online hospitals are still relatively new in China and thus many areas are in need of improvement. However, this does not justify a wholesale ban on online medical treatment. It should be the market that tests whether this "new product" is valid or not, rather than it being at the sole discretion.
Li Keji: While the traditional medical system is probably overly elaborate and regulated, the Internet is an unknown quantity, carrying risks. Caution is a prerequisite in the process of employing the Internet in medical treatment. The government means to steer online medical treatment toward accountability and transparency as well as enable it to progress stably. A well-developed online medical treatment system will be a great help to the ongoing medical reform. People’s health is directly correlated with the quality of healthcare they receive, so prudence is a necessity. The government’s cautious attitude toward Internet medical treatment is understandable and also in the interest of public health.
Patients
Wang Junrong: Surprisingly, in this day and age, the government is preventing the public from accessing medical treatment online. Surely the government should standardize and regulate online medical treatment, instead of banning it outright. Besides, it is not something you can easily ban. According to iiMedia Research, now, the mobile health industry in China had an estimated worth of $300 million. According to its predictions, this figure will reach $2 billion over the next two years. Banning such a lucrative growth area will prove no easy feat. Also, isn’t it necessary to first ask the patients whether it’s OK to stop online medical treatment?
Mao Jianguo: It’s natural to see deficiencies in newly born technologies. While there might exist various problems and worries in terms of online medical treatment, is it possible to eradicate all the problems by simply banning it? The government allows online consultation on health, but no medical treatment is allowed. How can you clearly discern medical consultation from medical treatment? What if the treatment is carried out under the guise of consultation? A ban is certainly not the only way to solve the problems plaguing the sector. Concerns about online hospitals tend to center on the capability of doctors. Thus, if tougher regulations are put in place to punish online doctors who wrongly diagnose patients as is the case in the traditional profession, online hospitals will become much more reliable. Under these circumstances, a ban would not really be necessary.

答案
Online Medical Services: Neither Viable nor Accountable There has long existed discussion on the influence of Internet and smart devices on people’s life and interpersonal relations, but online medical treatment system seems to arouse more debate as it concerns people’s life and well-being. The Chinese government lately issued an injunction against online medical treatment, which has received both criticism and appreciation. Both representatives of medical service providers and patients expressed concern on the accountability of the system and proposed to further regulate it. Some believed that online medical service is a huge and lucrative market, so it’s up to the patients and market to decide whether to ban it. However, some supported a ban and believed that it is for the consideration of public health. Despite the convenience online medical treatment has brought to people, I favor the government’s ban and do not support conducting medical services online, mainly for two reasons. Firstly, it is not viable. China faces a severe shortage of doctors, especially in rural areas, where few people have Internet access. Therefore, the government should better allocate the limited medical resources more efficiently and fairly to fill the gap between strong demand and shortage in supply instead of allowing online medical treatment, which would aggravate the situation due to this digital gap. Secondly, it is not accountable. It’s very difficult to censor the qualification of the doctors providing treatment online. In brick-and-mortar hospitals, every treatment and medicine prescribed is double or even triple checked. However, this can hardly be realized online, adding to the risks of wrong diagnosis. In addition, the nature of Internet has made online medical treatment more vulnerable to the lobbying of medical representatives. In conclusion, the risks of online medical treatment overweight the benefits and it is necessary to impose a ban on it.
解析
材料就“是否禁止网络医疗”的话题给出医疗工作者和病人的不同观点。网络医疗支持者包括医疗工作者Wu Jie和病人Wang Junrong,他们认为网络医疗作为一种新事物有待完善(in need of improvement),且中国的网络医疗市场作为盈利发展潜力巨大的领域(such a lucrative growth area),应由市场决定是否可行(the market that tests whether this“new product”is valid or not);且应更好的规范和监管(should standardize and regulate)网络医疗,提前听取病人的意见(first ask the patients)而不应简单地禁止。
其他二人是反对者,他们认为网络医疗仍是未知数,存在风险(carrying risks)。政府应将网络医疗引向责任制和透明化(accountability and transparency),谨慎是必要的(prudence is a necessity),政府下禁令可以理解(understandable)。
开篇:提出网络医疗的概念,并引出中国政府近日颁布的网络医疗禁令。
主体:总结材料内容,概括网络医疗支持者和反对者双方的理由。随后提出自己的观点——网络医疗不可行也不可靠。从以下两个方面论述,即农村网络覆盖率不高,不利于城乡资源的均衡发展;很难监管网络医疗且易受医药商家的不良影响。
结尾:总结全文,重申观点——反对网络医疗。
