These incidents whether they are through carelessness or otherwise, can leave patients feeling powerless. That’s not the case. “There is growing public awareness. People are feeling they have more rights and they have tools in hand to make a complaint,〞 said Ralph Montano, spokesman for the California Department of Public Health, which regulates hospitals and long-term care facilities in the state. That department received more than 6000 complaints about hospitals in 2023; in the most recent year statistics are available. The complaints can be about mixed-up lab results, medicine errors, foreign objects left in a patient during surgery or a host of other topic. Similarly, the California department of Aging received 43,000 nursing home complaints in 2023. Some said patient abuse or neglect of patients; others reported missing items. And some commented on the quality of the food. But finding the channels through them to put forward a complaint can be tiring and time consumption. Many consumers simply don’t bother, and some become lost in the system. Whether the complaint is against a hospital or a long-term care facility, the process is similar—and many people can help, including the facility’s staff, insurance company representatives and state regulators. If you want to make a complaint while in the hospital, Patti Harvey, vice president of quality and patient care services for Kaiser Permanente in Southern California, recommends talking with the bedside nurse. If that doesn’t work, you can talk with other people higher in the chain of command, up to the hospital administrator. If the problem isn’t still taken care of—say you disagree with your treatment plan or have a problem with your doctor—member service offices at each hospital can help address your concerns. 1. Why are there more complaints from patients A. Because there are more departments to deal with complaints. B. Because in the hospital there are more accidents than before. C. Because it’s convenient for people to put forward complaints. D. Because hospitals have more and more rights. 2. Many consumers don’t make a complaint because __________. A. complaints are bad for a long-term care facility B. few accidents happen C. many complaints are lost D. it takes time to make a complaint 3. The last paragraph mainly tells us _________. A. to solve problems with the hospital quickly B. something about Patti Harvey C. how to make complaints in the hospital D. we should say we disagree with the treatment plan 4. Who can help if you complain against a hospital or a long-term care facility A. Jack—a representative of an insurance company. B. Peter—a medical officer from the government. C. Rudy—a headmaster of a medical university. D. Tom—a teacher of a medical school. B An 80-year-old man was sitting on the sofa in his house along with his 45-year-old highly educated son. Suddenly a crow perched on the tree near their window. The father asked his son, “What is this〞 The son replied, “It is a crow.〞 After a few minutes, the father asked his son the second time, “What is this〞 The son said, “Father, I have just now told you. It is a crow! 〞 After a little while, the old father again asked his son the third time, “What is this〞 “It’s a crow, a crow, a crow!〞 said the son loudly. A little after, the father again asked his son the fourth time, “What is this〞 This time the son shouted at his father, “Why do you keep asking me the same question again and again ‘ IT IS A CROW’. Are you not able to understand this〞 A little later the father went to his room and came back with an old diary, which he had kept since his son was born. On opening a page, he asked his son to read that page. When the son read it, the following words were written in the diary: “Today my little son aged three was sitting with me on the sofa, when a crow was sitting on the window. My son asked me 23 times what it was, and I replied to him all 23 times that it was crow. I hugged him lovingly each time he asked me the same question again and again for 23 times. I did not at all feel annoyed; I rather felt affection for my innocent child.〞 5. What does the underlined word “perched〞 mean in the passage A. knocked. B. hit. C. landed. D. flew. 6. Why did the father ask the same question again and again A. Because he wanted to see how patient his son would be. B. Because he was too old to remember anything. C.
