People today expect

People today expect to be examined when they enter a doctor's office. At least they expect their blood pressure and temperature to be measured. However, as recently as two hundred years ago, a doctor's treatment depended on talking with the patient. In general, the communication between doctors and their patients was the most important part of medical methods. The modern age of medicine began with the stethoscope, an instrument(仪器) for listening to patients' heartbeat and breathing. Before that, a doctor did not touch a patient. In fact, there was no such thing as medical examination. All treatment was the result of the patient's telling the doctor what the problem was and the doctor's being able to understand it.　　The stethoscope - and all the other medical instruments - had a serious effect on the practice of medicine. Doctors became better at finding the medicine. Doctors became better at finding the medical problems. More lives were saved. At the same time, doctors gave less importance to the communication between patients and doctors. Some doctors actually stopped talking to their patients. It is easy to understand why some sick people thought of themselves as broken machines.
