Features: In China, with the continuous improvement of the legal system, the awareness of both medical professionals and patients to protect their own rights has gradually strengthened, leading to a rapid increase in the number of medical dispute cases. For a long time, doctors have treated patients with a mindset of "seeing patients as family" and practicing medicine to heal the sick, while patients often reciprocate with gratitude, calling them "a modern Hua Tuo" or praising their benevolent and skilled treatment, resulting in a harmonious doctor-patient relationship. However, with the development of the market economy in China, this ethical relationship between doctors and patients has become increasingly (weakened), and in some cases, both parties have turned against each other and taken legal action against one another. People must find a balance between healing the sick and legal responsibilities, must re-examine many fundamental concepts in the medical legal relationship, and must implement (complementary legislative reforms). While addressing difficult and hot issues in medical disputes, the author of this book provides a comprehensive and profound analysis of basic legal concepts such as medical conduct, medical legal relationships, and the rights and obligations of doctors and patients. This is highly commendable and also serves as the theoretical foundation for resolving various complex medical disputes.
