“医乃仁术”是绝大多数医者所崇尚的价值观。然而,近年“医患关系”的矛盾却常见诸报章,医患关系已成为社会共同关注的热门话题。其实,医患关系与医学一样古老,中国的华佗、扁鹊的事例已家喻户晓;公元前5世纪西方的希波克拉底就提出医生内在品质和外在素质是医患关系基础的理论。 “Medicine and benevolence” is the value advocated by most doctors. However, in recent years, the contradiction between doctor-patient relationship has often been seen in newspapers. The relationship between doctors and patients has become a hot topic of common concern. In fact, the relationship between doctors and patients is as old as medicine. Cases of China’s Hua Tuo and Bian Que are well known. In the 5th century BC, Hippocrates of the West put forward the theory that doctors’ internal quality and external quality are the basis of doctor-patient relationship.
