问题 Inquest told of hospital errA HOSPITAL err left a dying man on the wrong ward f two days asdeep vein thrombosis (DVT) ravaged his body, an inquest heard. Stephen MelvinNewbold suffered massive brain damage when a blood clot fmed in his veins.Now his families are considering legal action against Yk Hospital, sayingthat his death was “untimely unnecessary”.Mr Newbold, a 52-year-old maintenance wker, went to Yk Hospitalon November 3 complaining of a swollen right foot. He should have been sent toa surgical ward he would have been treated with1 Fragmin, a drug whichcounters the effects of DVT. However, hospital staff wrongly admitted him to2an thopedic ward, he stayed f two days, befe finally beingtransferred to the care of a consultant vascular surgeon. Twenty-four hourslater, on November 6, docts decided they would have to operate to remove hisleg below the knee.The operation went ahead on November 10, but two days later MrNewbold suffered a cardiac arrest. A scan revealed he had had a pulmonaryembolism, a condition related to DVT. Mr Newbold suffered brain damage diedin the hospital on November 16.Giving evidence, the surgeon said he could not explain why MrNewbold had been admitted to an thopedic ward it was not policy toadminister Fragmin. He did not know why his medical team had not given MrNewbold the drug later.Yk coner Donald Coverdale said, “From November 3until the day of the operation, no Fragmin was given to Mr Newbold. If he hadbeen admitted to a consultant vascular surgeon’s care from day one,it is clear that Fragmin would have been prescribed. Fragmin reduces the riskof DVT, but does not eliminate it. It is impossible to say whether Mr Newboldwould have suffered this DVT if he had received the Fragmin.” He recded averdict of death by misadventure.Kim Daniells, Mr Newbold’s family’s lawyer,said, “The family hope that the hospital will learn from the errs, that no other families will have to suffer in the future.”A spokeswoman f Yk Hospital’s NHS Trust said, “We wouldlike to extend our sincere sympathies to the family of Stephen Newbold duringthis difficult time.”　　词汇：ward n.病房vein n.血管thrombosis n.血栓clot n.凝块maintenance n.维修，维护Fragmin n.法安明(又名片段化蛋白)staff n.员工;职工consultant n.顾问，咨询，会诊医师surgeon n.心血管外科顾问knee n.膝盖embolism n.栓塞;栓塞形成verdict n.裁决misadventure n.灾难，不幸遭遇，意外事故sympathy n.同情　　注释：1.be treated with...被用......药物进行治疗2.be admitted to...被收容至，被移送至(本文中是“被送至病房”)　　练习：3.The patient did not get the crect medication.
选项 A.Right B.Wrong C.Not Mentioned
答案A
解析3.A　本题答题线索有两点，首先在文章第二段的第二行第二句话中提到了病人本应该被给予法安明这种药物进行治疗的，should have done有“本应做却没有做”的意思，后面第三句话中however这个转折词也进一步说明了这一点。其次是从第四、五段中对法安明这种药物进行介绍时可看出，病人并没有及时被给予正确的药物治疗。
