Recently, some media reported that some hospitals have launched so-called "special services", which has aroused widespread concern and heated discussions in the society. These "characteristic services" include the provision of some unusual services by medical staff, with striking techniques and forms. Although there are certain exaggerations and fanning elements in these reports, there are indeed some areas in the medical and health field that need to be rectified and reflected.
What is the right path of traditional medical ethics?
Medical ethics and medical style are related to the conscience and ethics of an industry. Tracing back to the roots, the origin of medicine is the noble cause of helping the world and saving people. There is a cloud in the "Neijing" that "weeps too Chen, excites leather, and sits down to the ground", which shows the high respect of the ancestors for the doctor. The noble models of medical ethics in the past dynasties are also remarkable, such as Zhang Zhongjing's medical ethics of "saving the life and helping the wounded" and "benevolence and skill", as well as many famous doctors who regard death as their home and benefit the people.
It can be said that medicine is a noble cause, and practitioners need to have the spirit of fraternity to save lives and help the wounded. The benevolence of doctors is the core of medical ethics, and they should follow the code of conduct of "doing business for the country, thinking of good energy in vain", and treat every doctor with the greatest love and patience. Medicine knows no borders, and it is the duty of doctors to save lives and help the wounded, so practitioners need to have the ambition to help the world and the sentiment of fraternity.
Rethinking the current state of healthcare
Looking at the current development status of the medical and health industry in mainland China, it is generally showing a good development trend. The medical and health system has been improving day by day, the quality of medical services has been continuously improved, and medical facilities and medical standards have made great progress.
However, we should also be soberly aware that there are still many deficiencies and areas that need to be reflected on in the development of the mainland's medical and public health undertakings. For example, conflicts between doctors and patients occur from time to time, some hospitals and medical staff have the phenomenon of anomie in medical ethics, and the distortion of values of quick success and profit-seeking also endangers the noble quality of medicine.
Therefore, in the new era, we should inherit and reshape the traditional medical ethics of the Chinese nation. Medical and health practitioners should keep in mind professional ethics, uphold the concept of "life first, treat patients as relatives", treat every patient with the greatest love and patience, and must not have behaviors that violate professional ethics such as squeezing money from illness and increasing the price of registration.
Medical units should strengthen their own construction, improve internal management, and put an end to chaos such as "excessive medical treatment" and "inflated drug prices". At the same time, we will improve the regulatory mechanism of the medical and health industry and create a clean and upright industry environment. Only when managers, hospitals, and medical staff work together can we build a good healthcare ecosystem.
Reshape the new fashion of medical ethics
In the face of some medical chaos, we must not stop at passive and narrow condemnation and scolding, but think about the way to solve it with a more inclusive, rational and constructive attitude.
First of all, a sound legal environment and supervision are prerequisites. Medical care is a highly specialized and professional act that requires special qualifications and access to the profession. Only by establishing a strict system of approval, licensing and professional qualifications can we avoid despriveged and reduce the sense of professional honor of the entire industry.
Second, the vocational education and vocational training system needs to be rebuilt. Good professionalism is the most fundamental guarantee against chaos in the industry. Through hierarchical and classified vocational education and training, medical practitioners can re-learn the professional knowledge and skills of their own work, and reshape their professional ideals and values.
Third, it is necessary to strengthen supervision by public opinion and social accountability. The power of public opinion cannot be underestimated. Public voice can not only criticize and punish violations, but also promote the reflection and improvement of relevant systems. Only with the help of the supervision and guidance of public opinion and social forces can professional behavior be effectively regulated.
Finally, improve the overall level of treatment of medical practitioners. Medicine is a noble profession that carries a social responsibility that deserves respect. Reasonable remuneration is undoubtedly an affirmation of the efforts of medical staff, but at the same time, it should also provide them with more development opportunities and a sense of achievement. Only when medical personnel are both materially and spiritually protected will they cherish their profession more and abide by professional ethics.
In short, the level of medical ethics in an industry or even a country not only reflects the degree of civilization of the industry or country, but also reflects the level of spiritual civilization construction in this era. We should reflect on some improper phenomena in the medical industry with a more open and inclusive attitude, and re-establish a new trend of appropriate medical ethics with a heart of awe from the bottom of our hearts.
