Medical ethics is a science to study the formulation and realization of excellent medical ethics, an interdisciplinary subject between medicine and ethics, and a science to understand and solve the ethical relationship among people, medicine and society in medical and health practice and the development of medical science. With the rapid development of this subject, it has gradually become an organic part of modern medicine. In modern medicine, medical ethics has become a basic course for medical majors. The development of medical ethics has basically gone through three stages: medical ethics, modern medical ethics and bioethics. Bioethics, which emerged in the 1970s, has a great influence on today's medical ethics.
This is the most consistent definition of medical ethics in books and papers on medical ethics.
However, in order to truly and correctly understand and solve the ethical relationship between people, medicine and society in medical and health practice and the development of medical science, I think medical ethics emphasized in medical ethics is the most essential and important key.
Morality, as the essential feature of medicine, is contained in medical practice. A medical history is a history in which medical workers struggle against diseases, understand diseases and constantly overcome diseases, and it is also a history in which medical workers selflessly relieve patients' suffering and improve people's health. Medical workers devote themselves to the medical cause, and their lofty moral realm is reflected in the specific medical activities they are engaged in to understand and treat diseases.
Medical workers shoulder the task of safeguarding people's health, preventing and treating diseases in social life. The particularity of medical work requires doctors to have noble professional ethics. In medical activities, medical effect is not only directly related to medical technology and equipment, but also directly related to the professional ethics of doctors. Physicians of all ages believe that morality is an important feature of the role of doctors, and only people with high morality can be doctors.
Since ancient times, paying attention to human life has been the virtue of the medical profession. China's earliest medical classic Huangdi Neijing pointed out in the chapter "Su Wen": "Everything is overwhelming and everything is ready, so it is not expensive for people." Sun Simiao, a famous doctor in the Tang Dynasty, said in his book "A thousand dollars for a rainy day": "I have the heaviest life and a precious daughter. If one side helps, then Germany will surpass this. " He also pointed out the idea of "great doctor's sincerity" and thought that a good doctor must have two basic qualities: "precision" in medical skills and "sincerity" to patients. Only with the two basic qualities of "essence" and "sincerity" can we become "great doctors" and "benevolent people", that is, doctors with superb medical skills and noble medical ethics.
Therefore, first of all, as a medical staff, we should cultivate our excellent medical ethics. Only when doctors have morality can they have kindness to help patients and realize the happiness of doctors and patients.
Therefore, it is very important to learn medical ethics, so that every medical worker can realize the important role of medical ethics in his future life and society. Medical ethics, for every medical worker, correctly establish their own professional outlook and outlook on life; For the normalization and good development of the doctor-patient relationship in China; It plays an irreplaceable and decisive role in the development of China's health cause.
Modern medical ethics has the following three remarkable characteristics:
(1) Practicality: Medical ethics is a subject closely related to medical practice. The theory and norms of medical ethics come from practice, which is a summary and explanation of moral relations, moral consciousness and moral behavior in medical practice, and is formed and developed in long-term medical activities.
(2) Inheritance: Carrying forward ethics is the basic condition and important symbol of medical progress, and it is a main thread running through the history of medical development. Ethical principles such as "heal the wounded and rescue the dying" and "be kind to doctors" are consciously inherited and adhered to by medical workers, and are constantly carried forward in the development of medical undertakings. (3) Times: Medical ethics develops with the development of medicine and social progress. The development of medicine is not only manifested in the progress of disease diagnosis and treatment, but also in the progress of medical ethics. The formulation of ethical principles corresponding to new prevention, diagnosis and treatment methods is an important symbol of medical moral progress.
The characteristics and moral requirements of clinical nursing work we are engaged in directly affect patients' lives and are closely related to the quality of nursing. Nurses' morality requires nurses to be angry and independent when they are on duty independently. For example, the nurse is on the night shift to add medicine, and no one checks it, so the accuracy of extracting liquid medicine depends on herself. If the liquid medicine is wasted, it will not only cause economic losses to patients, but also affect the curative effect. Nursing work is a special post, work attitude and personal accomplishment, whether it can be established.
High-quality humanistic environment in wards will play a vital role in patients' rehabilitation. The relationship between nurses and patients is closer than that between doctors and patients, and nurses can understand the wishes and interests of patients. In clinical work, we can serve patients sincerely and influence every patient with sincerity. Taking care of patients is regarded as the center of work.
Not only should we have superb nursing operation level and solid medical theoretical knowledge, but more importantly, we should have good medical ethics, otherwise it will only increase the pain of patients. For example, giving the wrong drugs and liquids in clinic will increase the mental and economic burden of patients and seriously endanger their lives. Life is only 1 time for everyone, and people cannot be resurrected after death. As nurses, it is our duty to respect, care and love patients. The basis of medical humanitarianism is "love life, cherish life, care for life and protect life". I want to serve patients wholeheartedly, constantly improve my medical ethics, and establish a correct outlook on life, values and world outlook, instead of treating nursing as inferior and simply taking injections and taking medicine. After studying ethics, I changed my mind. The so-called "three-point treatment and seven-point care" fully illustrates the importance of nursing. Therefore, we should seriously study medical ethics, which is an important topic that medical workers need to study and think about all their lives.
