A Brief Analysis of Difference in Doctor-Patient Relationship between China and the West

1. Introduction

With the rapid development of economy and society, the medical industry has also developed rapidly, and people have more and more needs in the process of seeking medical treatment. The doctor-patient relationship is one of the most important interpersonal relations, which is the foundation of medical ethics theory and the very essence of the whole medical treatment activity. It is also the most characteristic and the most important in the medical interpersonal relationship, determining whether medical activities can be carried out smoothly. All medical activity is the foundation of the harmonious doctor-patient relationship(Zhang, 2013). In doctor-patient communication, patients are no longer the passive party, instead, they also hope to get more initiative and their right to know. However, this demand is often ignored by doctors, thus causing unnecessary disputes, and thereby affecting the efficiency of medical treatment and patients' rehabilitation. It has become commonplace that relationships between physicians and patients are no longer what they used to be. Doctors are criticized for not spending enough time with their patients, for being insufficiently caring, for an excessive reliance on technology, and generally for inadequate attention to the whole person (Gillick, 1992).

Different social backgrounds create different doctor-patient relations. The development of doctor-patient relations is affected by economy, politics, society, culture and other aspects. In recent years, doctor-patient relations in China tend to be tense, while those in western developed countries are relatively stable and harmonious. Doctor-patient relationship has become a social contradiction that people must pay full attention to. We must realize the importance of building a harmonious doctor-patient relationship. This paper will analyze and compare the differences in the

doctor-patient relationship between China and the west.

   1. Causes of the problem in doctor-patient relationship

Doctor-patient relationship mainly refers to the general term of the relationship between doctors and patients. Doctors and patients are the most important main factors that determine the trend of doctor-patient relationship. The doctor-patient relationship reflects not only the relationship between patients and doctors and hospitals, but also the relationship between patients and the medical system and even the society.

• • 1. Doctors’ factors

Each physician who has patients is necessarily involved in doctor-patient relationships. The doctor's approach to the patient in answering his questions, being aware of his needs, and listening to his story reflects his basic conception of this relationship(Pemberton 1972). A large number of medical disputes have resulted in a stronger sense of self-protection for doctors, which is manifested in defensive medicine, including technical defense and emotional defense. First of all, as medical personnel, they have to consider the potential risks in the process of diagnosis and treatment. In order to prevent the occurrence of missed diagnosis, they provide a large number of but not the most appropriate diagnosis and treatment for patients, which will increase the medical burden of patients(Fan et al, 2016).
