        Medicine is a kind of culture? My understanding is: culture is a comprehensive human feeling and behavior, she is not about advantages and disadvantages, and low and compete, I just have a different identity. Medicine should be also a kind of culture, on culture, stand on the cultural life.
        Doctors if they are not familiar with Chinese culture, sometimes offer patients is that he doesn't need medical service, or cannot understand the hearts of patients. Respect for the patient's demand is medical belief culture.
        Bearing the Thanksgiving culture of medicine
        A few days ago a female white-collar workers nervous to see a doctor. After some time, diagnosis told she had hyperthyroidism to hashimoto's disease rather than gray's disease, instructed its need not nervous. Conversation she is very interesting to ask about the origin of this two disease. I explained: "in order to find or summarize a doctor name of disease, is a practice of western medicine. Its corresponding Chinese name is chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis with temporary hyperthyroidism and diffuse goiter with hyperthyroidism." Said long man, apparently not hashimoto disease and gray to remember.
        Every time in the description of the disease, I then to doctors and Irish great Japan Hashimoto Robert James doctor Graves have a honor and gratitude. Such named after discovery or inventor, has become a respected former world culture. In the 1960 s that to ruinous movement of the Chinese nation, the world culture has also been ransacked.
        Clinical medicine is actually a generation of sages talents accumulation, depend on books or precept descended in skill. Only gratitude past teachers and elders, to the survival and development of medicine.
        Medicine to exercise a ritual culture
        A famous professor of guangzhou university of Chinese medicine, every visit will be showering, comb is dressed up. She was reflected in the doctor ask people career sacredness. I practice for a long time to also developed some habits, rituals are extremely strong, otherwise the clinical thinking becomes a vacuum.
        There are also some doctors don't pay attention to ceremony, even necessary diagnostic procedures are trifle with. As an acquaintance with chest a hospital, after three days of fear to make a phone call to ask me: "tomorrow morning will do cardiac catheterization, how hasn't a doctor to listen to my heart?" Actually in the hospital for three days, the doctor for her to do a series of auxiliary examination in detail, and good communication with family members to do PTCA. Although proved the doctor catheter tube bed skilled, treatment effect is good, but in the process of diagnosis and treatment was useless stethoscope auscultation heart. Apart from lack of basic medical normative operation and the truth of medical record collection, at least let patients experienced doctor indispensable ceremony spectators in the edge of the bed.
