Understanding of medical ethics from "saving the world by hanging a pot"

Hanging pot to help the world refers to praising doctors and saving lives, and is often used to describe doctors.

First of all, doctors are human beings and need to support their families. Patients can't ask doctors for selfless dedication. Saving people is like putting out a fire. You can't delay for half a minute. Doctors can't ask patients to pay for treatment first. Patients can't denigrate the doctor's talent just because they don't get good treatment. Doctors are not immortals. Doctors can't take advantage of patients' psychological weakness to seek ill-gotten gains, nor can they set high treatment prices at will with patients' requests for help as capital; Medical ethics is not just a matter for doctors.

The story of "hanging a pot to save the world";

There is a strange legend in the Book of Southern Han Dynasty: there was a man named Fei Changfang in the Eastern Han Dynasty. One day, while drinking in a restaurant, he happened to see an old man selling medicine in the street, hanging a gourd to sell pills and powder. After selling for a while, the pedestrians in the street gradually dispersed and the old man quietly got into the gourd.

Fei Changfang saw clearly that the old man was by no means an idle man. He bought wine and meat and paid a respectful visit to the old man. Knowing his purpose, the old man led him into the gourd. When I opened my eyes, I saw the architecture painted by Zhu Lan, which was magnificent and colorful, just like the Qiongge in the fairy mountain. Later, Fei Changfang studied alchemy with the old man for more than ten days. Before leaving, the old man gave him a bamboo pole and rode like a fly. When he returned to his hometown, his family thought he was dead. It turns out that more than ten years have passed. From then on, it took a long time to cure all diseases, drive away the plague and bring people back to life.

This is just a myth and legend, but it puts on a "mysterious coat" for practitioners. Later, in order to commemorate the legendary doctor, folk doctors hung a gourd at the entrance of the drugstore as a sign of practicing medicine. Nowadays, although the "hanging pot" of traditional Chinese medicine is rare, the word "hanging pot" has always been retained.
