问题     A jury in Northern California has found a doctor caused elder abuse. Family thought the doctor did not give enough pain medication to a dying patient. The jury gave one-and-a- half million dollars to the patient’s family.
    The patient’s children say they were sure they would lose. But the jury said the doctor was reckless and caused elderly abuse.
    The patient’s son says he wanted to tell the true story. His father had too much pain.
    The 85-year-old patient, William Bergman, died of cancer patient in February 1998. He spent six days at a hospital in Castro Valley, California. His children say he had too much pain because Dr. Wing Chin didn’t give enough painkillers.
    The trial lasted one month. Dr Chin said he used the usual pain control system. Dr. Chin’s lawyer said that the doctor used the usual standard of care.
    Family members said they didn’t directly ask the doctor for more medication. They trusted that the doctors knew how to control the pain.
    The problem of not enough pain medication is widespread. Doctors might be more careful in the future.
    California laws don’t allow pain and suffering awards for the people who have died. This case was for elder abuse. The jury’s award of one-point-five million dollars is likely to be reduced to 250-thousand dollars because the state has a cap on awards.
选项 A、the doctor guilty of murder
