Why does Western medicine require a doctor-patient contract? What are the reasons why TCM practitioners do not?

'Chinese medicine' is not Chinese medicine, 'in' used here has multiple meanings: it is right, it is in, it is feasible, it is 'zhongfu', it is neutral and credible people, it is to reconcile yin and yang of the so-called also.

'Chinese medicine is not Chinese medicine', the implication is: Chinese medicine will go global.

Chinese medicine practitioners save lives and heal people, and they are like brothers to their patients, so if they are not Cao Cao, how can they not believe in them? The establishment of a note before treatment, obviously no mutual trust! (Western doctors sign contracts for the obvious purpose of accidents, can be exempted from liability).

Today's people are upside down, right and wrong, can not distinguish between good and evil; foreign pander to foreign countries, defamation of Chinese medicine, really confused!

The differences and contradictions between Chinese and Western medicine are mostly due to the differences between Chinese and Western cultures; those with wisdom can 'help both fire and water'!

Is it not good to have both Chinese and Western medicine, walking on two legs or complementing each other's strengths?

Thank you for the Headline for agreeing and recommending it, and I hope that everyone understands Chinese medicine and is not confused by prejudice, it is very fortunate!

Western medicine lets you die clearly, Chinese medicine lets you live in confusion.

When healing, the Western doctor says do you know or do I know, and when you are going to die, the Western doctor brings in the paperwork and tells you in detail how you are likely to die next, and don't blame me if you die, you have been told ahead of time.

As a patient or family member, what do you know, it's not like you say yours and I sign mine, and if I don't sign it, it's going to be rejected, is there a choice?

Regarding scarcity, isn't Western medicine scarcity? We say that Western medicine is scientific because it is very standardized, so standardized that by memorizing and executing the standardized operation procedures of Western medicine, one can do more like a professional doctor than the vast majority of doctors. A medical examination machine gives you the parameters of the test, and you can determine what kind of disease it is against the Western standard, and then what kind of medication it corresponds to. It is very effective because it will be very symptomatic. But there are two problems: one is just a headache, and the other is that the underlying pathology does not need to be understood. In the end, the two results of Western medicine, one is the treatment effect is particularly remarkable, and the other is how it can not be cured. But Western medicine is very scientific, because these are very much in line with scientific standards.

Science doesn't mean it's curable, let alone properly treated, so the family needs to sign off and take ultimate responsibility for their failure to treat. Western medicine only has to take responsibility for one thing, and they perform it according to the standard process of science. Even this, hospitals can not do, such as what scissors left in the patient forgot to remove and other segments. If a minor medical condition results in the death of the patient, the death of a non-standard treatment plan and implementation, and the family signed the responsibility, I'm sorry, the family has the right but can only be regarded as medical malpractice. On the other hand, if the Western doctors are confident that their own treatment is appropriate standard, do not need to take responsibility for the family's rights is a medical malpractice, the Western doctors still pants farting to let the family to sign what the waiver of liability commitment it!

Western medical work is replaceable by machines, and machines can do it more rigorously than Western medical people can do it. It's all about ostensibly letting the patient die knowingly.

Chinese medicine is difficult to so standard scientific, for example, two two drugs decoction water bowl drink all, and four two drugs decoction water bowl patients drink vomit half a bowl, there is no difference, the patient confused, it is called living in a state of confusion.

There is never a "doctor-patient contract" in hospitals, but only an "informed consent" or "medical condition notification".

What is "informed consent"?

Article 55 of the Tort Liability Law stipulates: "Medical personnel shall explain the patient's condition and medical measures to the patient in the course of diagnostic and therapeutic activities. Where it is necessary to carry out surgery, special examinations or special treatment, medical personnel shall promptly explain to the patient the medical risks and alternative medical programs, and obtain his or her written consent; where it is not appropriate to explain this to the patient, he or she shall explain this to the patient's next of kin, and obtain his or her written consent.

If the medical staff fails to fulfill the obligations of the preceding paragraph and causes damage to the patient, the medical institution shall be liable for compensation. "

The function of the "informed consent" is to prove that the hospital has fully fulfilled its obligation to "inform" the patient of the risks. However, it is not an exemption from liability for the hospital.It is to tell the patient what risks and accidents that cannot be circumvented by the current medical technology may occur in the course of consultation and treatment. However, the hospital is still liable for any damage caused to the patient as a result of the work errors of the medical staff.

Why do Chinese medicine practitioners not require "informed consent"?

Informed consent is generally used for patients who are critically and seriously ill. Or before the need to perform operations, such as surgery, special tests, special treatments, etc., which carry a certain degree of risk.

Chinese medicine practitioners, on the one hand, do not deal with patients with acute and critical illnesses, and on the other hand, they do not carry out treatments that pose obvious risks to the patients, and most of the patients are very stable, so there is generally no need to sign a "letter of notification of condition".

Of course, there are also some individual private Chinese medicine practitioners who are bold enough to resort to more drastic means of physiotherapy or use drugs with greater toxicity, and the risks involved are also very great. They do not have a good understanding of the dangers involved, and there is no standardized management of individual clinics, so it is impossible to have any "informed consent".


Welcome to follow Dr. Zheng Baike, and talk about life and health together.

Please do not distinguish between Western and Chinese medicine. How is this informed consent form different from the vehicle warranty schemes of large car companies? The relationship between doctors and patients should be within the scope of the entrustment or fiduciary contract, but what is the difference between Chinese and Western medicine when the informed consent form is used to cover up technical deficiencies and lack of character, to bully customers, to hide the truth, to drink the water of the stolen spring, to hang the pot in the name of helping the world, to practise the reality of cheating and to jeopardize the public's death-defying behaviour?

When legally identifying which statute applies to the agreement between the parties, the substantive purpose and content of the instrument must be examined, and the title of the instrument will not prevail. The title of the instrument states that it is a receipt, but the substance of the instrument is a debit note, and the courts have already ruled in favor of the borrower in similar cases.

At present, health care reform, the legal system is still inadequate, bad doctors or have a fluke, but with the health care reform, the legal system continues to deepen the construction of medical or will be like a judge to face lifelong responsibility for the management of such informed consent, now like yesterday's flowers, cheap old, I do not know if the fashion can be meal?

What Western doctors sign is called informed consent, not a contract. This is a manifestation of the progress of the times. Doctors in modern medicine have an obligation to inform their patients when they perform major operations, or treatments that may have a significant impact on the patient, and the patient also has the right to know and the right to choose.

For example, we have to use glucocorticoids on patients. This hormone can treat the disease, but it also has strong side effects, and some of them are very serious, for example, it can cause necrosis of the femoral head and cause high blood pressure.

At this time, the doctor must tell the patient in detail why we, the doctor, are using this medication and the possible side effects that may occur with the use of these medications, every possible side effect, before they are used. Then let the patient and family make the decision. What the doctor needs to do in this step is to try to elaborate on the benefits of using the medication, the disadvantages of not using the medication, and the possible side effects of using the medication.

This is to respect the right of patients and their families to know. Unlike the original, patients and their families are confused and do not know anything but to pay.

In order to regulate this behavior and to force doctors to perform this step, it was later required that a written informed consent form be created. Once the doctor has explained this to the patient and family, he or she will sign the informed consent form, and the patient and family will sign that they are aware of it.

Also, don't worry, people.Signing an informed consent form does not mean that if a doctor makes a mistake in treatment he or she is not responsible.

Even if one has signed an informed consent form, the doctor is just as likely to be sanctioned if he or she is actually at fault in the treatment.

But only if the doctor did make a mistake


I will not talk about Chinese medicine, many Chinese medicines directly dump a side effects are not known, contraindications are not known, not at all give patients the right to know, continue to be confused.

Western medicine in critical care when a very small action can be fatal, but Chinese medicine use a lot of mild, to go will not be these two suddenly gone. I personally saw an example of the last day of 2019 that day across the New Year at 12 am, ccu a more than 70 women can shout pain, constantly shouting pain, into the ccu undressed (the weather is relatively cold) changed clothes, inserted a urinary catheter, on the ventilator, no cover for half an hour, heard her screaming pain slowly getting weaker and weaker, 2:00 a.m. cardiac detection on the hear are ~ so resuscitation, 4:00 announced. The whole process of hospitals have no operational problems.

Hospital operation is reasonable and legal, the patient is also very sick, at home with Chinese medicine slowly by maybe not so fast, where is the problem? Because Chinese medicine is concerned about yin and yang, Western medicine regardless of this, Western medicine is concerned about the standard. Said intravenous injection, the liquid temperature is at least 10-20 degrees below the body temperature, yang is very weak old man how to withstand so much temperature difference at once? If there are antibiotics in the injection, Chinese medicine says that antibiotics are very cold, and can extinguish the yang qi in the body at once. So old people's yang qi is very weak, winter can walk can be called to take off the clothes inserted urinary catheter, not to mention the elderly, I as a young man will be frozen, not to mention the sick old man. Any details not in place are out of place. This feeling can only be realized by experiencing it with your own eyes.

Who has ever seen a real TCM practitioner? One of my grand-uncles, a TCM practitioner, is basically self-taught. He is known in our area. The medicine is steady, accurate and ruthless! He dares to use what others don't dare to use. For example, a brother of the family is sick, in the hospital does not stay pulled back, the body is full of flies, will die, find his old man, he said, I can save the child's life, is afraid that the eyes can not keep, but will try to keep, at that time, so the treatment. Then he really saved only one eye. Now this brother is also more than thirty years old. The truth is that most of those who say that Chinese medicine does not work have not met a real Chinese medicine practitioner. Either that or they have encountered a charlatan with poor medical skills. Chinese medicine is no physical problems can also be eaten to regulate the body. Western medicine can just eat?

Western medicine wrong injection immediately finished, Chinese medicine will not it.

One is responsibility and the other is integrity. Western medicine is about responsibility, first of all, the relationship of responsibility, the results of the responsibility borne by the patient, the doctor is only the application of technology and medicine, according to the rules, the consequences of how the doctor has nothing to do with. Chinese medicine is about integrity, open and honest, acting on medical skills, relying on the ability to practice medicine, I can not, please seek another person, never false words. Western medicine is not practicing medicine without money, Chinese medicine is a cure to help people.
