In no country in the world has treated the sick and saved lives as a commercial practice. This is because curing diseases and saving people is a major matter of people's livelihood and a great mission to pursue morality. As long as it is linked to business, it will violate the ethical norms of medical care, leading to inhumane chaos such as indiscriminate charging and high fees.
Today, medical technology has come a long way, and medical science has made tremendous progress. However, in the process of development, some people are greedy for financial gain and do it as a business to cure diseases and save people. This kind of behavior is nothing short of blasphemous to the health care system. There is no doubt that curing the sick and saving lives is an activity full of humanitarian spirit, and it should be selfless and noble. If treating the sick and saving people is regarded as a business, chaos will inevitably arise, thus damaging the credibility and value of this great cause.
First of all, engaging in the act of treating diseases and saving lives in a commercial way will inevitably lead to the problem of indiscriminate charges. The essence of the market economy is the pursuit of maximum profits, while the essence of medical services is to provide medical assistance to help patients recover. The value orientations of the two are fundamentally different. If the hospital is run commercially, doctors and medical staff may be driven by profits to charge arbitrarily. Not only does this place a financial burden on patients, but it can also leave some patients who cannot afford high medical bills out of the rescue or even lose their lives.
In addition, the use of treating diseases and saving lives as a business will inevitably lead to a decline in the quality of medical services. In a commercial model, hospitals and healthcare organizations may limit the resources they invest in order to pursue a higher rate of return on profits. Drugs and medical devices of non-guaranteed quality may be used, and the level of medical technology and training of medical staff may also be affected. In this way, it will be difficult to ensure the treatment effect of patients, and even produce safety risks, which seriously threaten the health of the public.
More importantly, treating diseases and saving people as a business would violate the basic moral norms of human civilization. Treatment and medical treatment are fields with special moral needs in the process of human civilization, and doctors undertake a great duty to be responsible for human health and life. They need to take responsibility for the lives and health of patients and do their best to provide treatment services. Linking such a moral mission to money is undoubtedly a departure from the development of human civilization.
To sum up, there is not a single country in the world that treats the sick and saves lives as a business. Treating diseases and saving lives is a major task of people's livelihood, and behind it is the moral and ethical responsibility of doctors. Only by abandoning the business model of indiscriminate and high fees and returning medical services to the essence of selfless dedication can we ensure the healthy development of the medical industry and provide patients with high-quality, safe and reliable medical services. This is based on the progress of human civilization and moral principles, and it is also the goal we should pursue.
