Why medicine is inseparable from ethics

Medical ethics is inextricably linked to medicine but distinct from it.

(1) Medicine belongs to the category of natural science, which is the study of human life activities, especially the occurrence, development, regression and prevention of diseases, in order to promote human health.

(2) Medical ethics, on the other hand, is the science of medical morality, which serves to promote the development of health care by adjusting the relationship between human beings and human beings as well as human beings and society in the medical activities edited and organized by medicaleducation|net.com, and by improving the moral level of medical personnel.?

Formation and development

Eastern and Western cultural and historical background is the soil for the formation and development of Chinese and Western medicine. In the 2nd century A.D., the two medical giants of the East and the West, Zhang Zhongjing and Galen, inherited different academic ideas, created very different medical paradigms, developed and perfected different theoretical systems, so that the Chinese and Western medical science and technology are heading towards two completely different development paths.

Before the "Treatise on Typhoid Miscellaneous Diseases" written by Zhang Zhongjing, a medical doctor in the Han Dynasty, there were classical medical texts such as the "Neijing", "Nanking", and the "Classic of Materia Medica". Zhang Zhongjing summarized the medical achievements before the Han Dynasty, inherited the basic theories and rich medical knowledge from the Neijing, and combined them with his own clinical practice to write the Treatise on Miscellaneous Diseases of Typhoid Fever. Its contribution lies in the establishment of the theoretical system of Chinese medicine, which laid a solid foundation for the development of Chinese clinical medicine in later generations.
