Annas says lawyers can play a key role in insisting that these well-meaning medical initiatives translate into better care. “Large numbers of physicians seem unconcerned with the pain their patients are needlessly and predictably suffering,” to the extent that it constitutes “systematic patient abuse.” He says medical licensing boards “must make it clear… that painful deaths are presumptively ones that are incompetently managed and should result in license suspension.”

　　安纳斯说，律师可以在坚持让这些善意的医疗行动转化为更好的医疗服务方面发挥关键作用。“许多医生似乎并不关心他们的病人所遭受的不必要的、可预见的痛苦，”在一定程度上构成了“蓄意的病人虐待”。他说，医疗执照管理委员会“必须明确表明…如果可以推定病人的痛苦死亡是由于医生处理不当造成的，应该吊销其从业资格执照。”
