閱讀下面的短文,判斷正(T)誤(F)。
Charles R.Drew was a medical student at Columbia University in New York.Before he graduated,he wrote an article on blood bank,that is,the storing of blood.Up till then,a lot of people had died from loss of blood because there was no such thing as a blood bank.
When the United States entered the Second World War,it became necessary to set up blood banks.Dr.Drew served as the head of the Red Cross's first blood bank.
When the Red Cross started blood banks,only blood from the whites collected and stored,while that from the blacks was accepted but was stored in a different place from“white”blood.Although the best doctors insisted that there was no difference at all between the blood of blacks and whites,the Red Cross,with the support of the government,continued to separate black blood from white.
After the war Dr.Drew was driving from Washington with three other doctors to attend a medical conference in a southern state.In North Carolina their car went into a ditch and Dr.Drew was badly hurt.He had lost a lot of blood,by the time a passing car took him to the nearest hospital.But they were stopped at the gate of the hospital.“Take him to the hospital for blacks,”they were told.“We don't take in blacks here.”No matter what they said,they could not get into the hospital.They had to take him to the colored hospital,but on the way Dr.Drew died because he had lost too much blood.

參考譯文
查爾斯·R.德魯是紐約哥倫比亞大學(xué)醫(yī)學(xué)院的一名學(xué)生。畢業(yè)前,他寫了一篇關(guān)于血庫,也就是血液儲藏方面的論文。在此之前,由于沒有血庫之類的東西,許多人都死于失血過多。
隨著美國加入第二次世界大戰(zhàn),建立血庫就變得十分必要。德魯醫(yī)生成了紅十字會第一座血庫的負(fù)責(zé)人。
紅十字會創(chuàng)立血庫之初,只能采集并儲存白人的血,黑人的血也能采集,但要儲存到有別于白人血液的其他地方。盡管一些最好的醫(yī)生堅持認(rèn)為兩者根本沒有差別,但紅十字會在政府的支持下依然將兩者分開。
戰(zhàn)爭結(jié)束后的一天,德魯醫(yī)生和另外三名醫(yī)生驅(qū)車從華盛頓趕往南方某州參加醫(yī)學(xué)會議。開到北卡羅來納州時,他們的車掉進(jìn)了水溝,德魯醫(yī)生傷勢嚴(yán)重。等一輛路過的汽車把他送到最近的醫(yī)院時,他已失血很多。但他們被攔在了醫(yī)院的大門外?!鞍阉麕У浇o黑人看病的醫(yī)院,”他們被告知,“我們這里不接受黑人。”無論怎樣解釋,他們都無法進(jìn)入。他們只能把他送往收治有色人種的醫(yī)院,但德魯醫(yī)生因失血過多半路上就死去了。
