题目内容:
The play The Doctor’s Dilemma by George Bernard opens on the day when Ridgeon, a famous research doctor,is knighted (封爵).His friends gather to congratulate him.The friends include Sir Patrick, a wellknown old physician, Walpole, an aggressive surgeon, Sir Ralph Bloomfield Bonington, an attractive society doctor, and Blenkinsop, an honest government doctor.Each one has his favorite theory of illness and method of cure._One_man’s_cure_is_another_man’s_poison,but they all get along.
A young woman (Mrs Dubechat) desperately seeks help for her husband from Ridgeon, who has evidently found a way to cure her husband’s illness.Ridgeon initially refuses, but then he changes his mind for two reasons — Mr Dubechat is a fine artist and Ridgeon falls in love with his wife.
When the doctors meet Mr Dubechat, however, they find that he is a dishonest person.Ridgeon eventually decides to treat Blenkinsop,who has the same disease, and refers the artist to Bloomfield Bonington.As a result, he will die.In the end, Ridgeon justifies his behavior as a plan to let Mr Dubechat die before his wife finds out how dishonest he actually was.This, in fact, happens and Mr Dubechat’s artistic reputation grows.
At one level this play deals with allocation (分配) of rare medical resources.Which of the two men will Sir Ridgeon save? Blenkinsop is an honest doctor who works for the poor.Mr Dubechat is a charming sociopath (反社会者),who happens to be an extraordinary artist.
Ridgeon solves this problem with an interesting moral twist — he explains that Mr Dubechat’s death will be a benefit because it will keep his reputation .It will also potentially benefit Ridgeon, who wants to get Mrs Dubechat.
