Comparative Study on Ideal and Realistic Doctor-patient Relationship / 中国医学伦理学

ABSTRACT

"Good doctor" plus "good patient" do not necessarily mean "good doctor-patient relationship", but both are the basis for building a harmonious doctor -patient relationship and neither of the two can be dis-pensed. This paper conducted a comparative study on ideal and realistic doctor-patient relationship, digged and refined the characteristics of"good doctor" and"good patients", and agreed that it was possible to construct a har-monious doctor-patient relationship when doctors pursued professional excellence and moral integrity, and patients had good "patient literacy".
