MAKING DRUGS SAFER

France and Britain have aggressive programs to get hospitals to report adverse drug reactions,
says Dr. Jerome Groopman, a top medical researcher. By contrast our FDA waits for doctors to
report bad reactions. Groopman is especially disturbed that 75% of the drugs given to children
lack verified safety and dosage instructions for kids. “No one collected this data, so sometimes
pediatricians fly blind, forced to guess the best dose.” He notes.

The word in bold ´disturbed´ can be replaced by

Seleccione una:
A. disappointed.
B. angry.
C. upset.
D. bored.

Retroalimentación
A disappointed person is somebody who doesn’t agree with others.
