Building a harmonious doctor-patient relationship

What caused the doctor-patient dispute?According to statistics, in the current doctor-patient conflict, the proportion due to technological factors is not high, and it is more related to factors such as economic interests, doctors' sense of responsibility, and communication.If the patient is afraid of the doctor's irresponsibility when seeking medical treatment, and the doctor is afraid of the patient finding fault during diagnosis,then the doctors and patients who should have cooperated with each other may lose basic trust , what’s worse, if there is any slight dissatisfaction, it may develop into an opposing relationship.

Nowadays, society generally believes that patients are a "vulnerable group", while doctors believe that they are the true "vulnerable group". If the foundation for building a harmonious relationship is lost, then treating illness to save people can only be a piece of empty talk. Professor Li often tells us that a good doctor can make patients feel better when they leave their clinic, even before taking medication for treatment.

As Dr. Trudeau of the United States carved on his Epitaph: "To cure sometimes,to relieve often,to comfort always", this is also his understanding of clinical medicine, which is summed up by combining his life's struggle with disease and medical experience: medicine is limited, and many diseases are recovered by patients themselves.

Please remember that the kindness of a doctor can give hope to patients. This is also a quality that doctors should possess.
