(A) the development process of the formation of China's ancient medical ethics.
Huainanzi Shennong Taste a Hundred Herbs at the end of the Spring and Autumn Period) —— Treatise on Febrile Diseases by Zhang Zhongjing in the Eastern Han Dynasty, which opposes impatience, "knowing others and loving others", "being cautious and independent", "being cautious", "being diligent in learning" and "learning from others" —— the pioneers of medical ethics —— Sun Simiao in the Tang Dynasty wrote "Ideological and Moral Character, Professional Learning and Treating Patients" Liu advocated that "medical ethics should be based on economy, and many diseases should be good"-in the Ming Dynasty, benevolence was not valued, and benevolence and righteousness were adhered to "Ten Essentials of Medicine and Essential Principles of All Diseases". Although the rich and the poor are different, there is no difference in medicine. Chen Shigong's "Authentic Surgery, Five Commandments and Ten Essentials for Physicians" (included in the Encyclopedia of American Bioethics, which is considered to be the earliest written medical ethics code in the world)-The Medical Law of Yuchang in the Qing Dynasty clearly put forward the medical ethics norms and standards of right and wrong for doctors in the diagnosis and treatment of patients, and the famous doctor's fee put forward: "If you want to save people, you can study medicine, but you can't study medicine for profit." "
At this point, China's ancient medical ethics thought can be summarized as follows:
(1) The principle of saving people with kindness and sincerity.
(2) the moral quality of being honest and not seeking fame and fortune.
(3) The service attitude of being single-minded and not afraid of hardship.
(4) Modesty, serious and responsible medical style.
(5) Not afraid of power, loyal to the dedication of medical service.
These fine traditions of ancient medical ethics are still passed down by future generations and become valuable cultural and spiritual heritage of Chinese medicine.
(2) The development of modern medical ethics in China.
China Medicine published by 1926 contains 2339 words of medical ethics norms formulated by Chinese Medical Association, which involves the discussion of general medical behavior. This is rare in the world's medical ethics norms at the beginning of the 20th century, which embodies the unique medical ethics in the semi-colonial and semi-feudal period of China at that time. This code also clearly stipulates that the duty of doctors should be to practice humanitarianism, not to seek economic benefits.
1In June, 932, Medical Ethics edited by Song was published in Shanghai, which was the first systematic monograph on medical ethics in China, marking the transition from traditional medical ethics to modern medical ethics.
(3) medical ethics in the socialist period
During the new democratic revolution, Mao Zedong wrote an inscription for China Medical University in Yan 'an on 194 1, which laid the foundation for China to enter the stage of socialist medical ethics and became the basic principle of China's medical ethics.
After the founding of New China, China's health policy focused on prevention, and health work focused on rural areas and integration of traditional Chinese and western medicine, which reflected the value orientation of medical ethics in the socialist period, that is, to seek welfare for the vast majority of people in society.
