医患关系,是一类典型的社会关系,而在医疗合同的履行中或履行结束后,医患双方可能会因医疗后果不尽如人意而产生争议。随着我国医疗卫生体制改革的深入和城镇基本医疗社会保障制度的逐步到位,医疗纠纷越来越成为广大民众、医疗机构、社会各界乃至国家关注的一个重要问题。 The doctor-patient relationship is a typical type of social relationship. After the performance of the medical contract or the fulfillment of the contract, both the doctor and the patient may have disputes over the unsatisfactory medical outcomes. With the deepening of China’s medical and health system reform and the gradual attainment of urban basic medical social security system, medical disputes have increasingly become an important issue of concern to the general public, medical institutions, all walks of life and even the country.
