网考网解析：
本题问“作者很可能赞同以下哪个观点”。短文最后一段给医生提出建议，认为医生应该放弃他们决不出错的姿态，得到充足的休息，否则"patients are on their own"，病人就只能听天由命了。由此可见[C]“如果医生睡眠不足，病人就要冒更大的风险”是正确答案。 [A]“飞行^和卡车司机的工作环境比医生的更安全”。短文只提到"The U.S. controls the hours of pilots and truck drivers．But until such a system is in place for doctors，patients are on their own."，即对医生没有类似于控制飞行员和卡车司机工作时间那样的限制，而没有涉及飞行员、卡车司机与医生工作环境的比较。 [B]“病人可以选择医生的睡眠时间”。此段中作者指出"If you're worried about the people treating you or a loved one，you should feel free to ask how many hours of sleep they have had and if more-rested staffers are available."，意思是说病人家属可以问医生每天睡几个小时，能不能找到休息得更好的医生。也就是说家属可以选择由睡眠时间多长的医生来为病人治疗，这并不等同于病人可以选择医生的睡眠时间。 [D]“病人家属有权开除医生”。短文没有涉及。 查看试题解析出处>>
