Annas says lawyers can play a key role in insisting that these well-meaning medical initiatives translate into better care.
安纳斯说，律师可以在要求把医疗界的这些善意的行为变成更好的护理行动方面发挥关键作用。
"Large numbers of physicians seem unconcerned with the pain their patients are needlessly and predictably suffering," to the extent that it constitutes "systematic patient abuse."
“不少医生对病人所遭受的毫无必要的，可预见的痛苦无动于衷”，乃至于已构成“蓄意虐待病人”。
He says medical licensing boards "must make it clear... that painful deaths are presumptively ones that are incompetently managed and should result in license suspension."
他说，行医资格理事会“必须明确表明——病人痛苦地死亡，可以推定，是由于医生处理不力造成的，应该因此吊销其从医资格”。
Here is a troubled business that keeps hiring employees whose attitudes vastly annoy the customers.
这是一个棘手的行业，却不断地雇用观点总体上使客户恼怒的雇员。
Then it sponsors lots of symposiums and a credibility project dedicated to wondering why customers are annoyed and fleeing in large numbers.
然后它又出资组织研讨会和可信度调查项目，去探究为什么顾客们恼火了，为什么会有那么多人逃避新闻。
But it never seems to get around to noticing the cultural and class biases that so many former buyers are complaining about.
但它似乎从来就没回过头来去注意那么多以前的顾客所抱怨的文化和阶级偏见。
If it did, it would open up its diversity program, now focused narrowly on race and gender, and look for reporters who differ broadly by outlook, values, education, and class.
