Using the Rights to Control the Power——On the Relationship Between the Doctor's Power and the Patient's Rights / 中国医学伦理学

ABSTRACT

The doctors'medical treatment in the medical service is not a private right, but a public power. It orignates from the patients'rights. The purpose is to sustain and enhance the patients' health, However, in our actual lives, the side effect of market - oriented economy brings out the power partly to deviate from the primary aim. This kind of phenomenon is called as alienation of doctor's power. The doctor's power of alienation infringes upon the rights of patients, causeing the conflicts between both sides and forms disputes of medical treatment. Only could the patients's rights and the doctors's duties be wholly defined by law, that the patients rights can be taken to restrict the doctors power, and the relationship between the two sides can be harmonious.
