D)!

Reading 1
Doctor is a popular job. It takes a great responsibility to work as a doctor. Minor mistakes made
by a doctor can bring the loss of patients.
There are a lot of jobs that doctors must do. They are expected to evaluate symptoms and run a
test to determine what is wrong with a patient. If a doctor does not know offhandedly what the
diagnosis should be, it is his or her responsibility to do the necessary research.
Notes are kept on each patient to ensure that any medical professional can walk into a room and
know what has been done in the past. It is also a way to track the patients' progress during recovery.
Writing prescriptions is a major part of doctors' jobs. They must know how much medicine to
prescribe based on the patients' history; they also need to know how two drugs can interact with one
another. A doctor needs to know not only how to treat the current condition, but also how to advise
the patient on how to prevent another occurrence.
