What is the duty of a doctor?

The professional responsibility of doctors is to save and protect the health and life of patients. In the profession of doctors, medical ethics and medical skills are equally important and indispensable. Medical ethics emphasizes doctors' professional ethics, humanistic quality and professional ethics, while medical skills emphasize doctors' professional skills, academic level and medical knowledge. The following is my detailed explanation of both:

1. Medical ethics: Medical ethics refers to the professional ethics, humanistic quality and professional ethics that doctors should possess. Doctors should be patient-centered, respect patients' rights and dignity, pay attention to patients' overall health and try their best to protect patients' lives and safety. Doctors should also abide by professional norms and ethical standards, actively participate in career development and medical research, and provide better medical services for patients and society.

2. Medical skill: Medical skill refers to the professional skills, academic level and medical knowledge that doctors should possess. Doctors need long-term professional training and practice to master various methods and techniques for diagnosis, treatment and prevention of diseases, so as to ensure high-quality medical services for patients. Doctors should constantly update their medical knowledge, actively participate in clinical research and academic exchanges, and constantly improve their professional level and ability.

Therefore, for doctors, medical ethics and medical skills are equally important, and both are indispensable. Medical ethics is the most basic morality and professional conduct in doctors' profession and the bottom line of medical industry; Medical skill is the premise and guarantee for doctors to provide high-quality medical services. Only when medical ethics and medical skills develop in a balanced and coordinated way can doctors better perform their professional duties and provide better medical services for patients and society.
