试论医学的正确实践(四)——医学人文与人文医学

Appropriate medical practice(part four)--Medical humanity and humanistic medicine

医学实践离不开医学人文。人文是人类文化的最高境界,也是医学的重要组成部分。人与动物都有生命,而且共享一个物质世界。人与动物有根本区别,就是人类有自己的语言文字,并由此创造了一个独有的文化世界。健康与人文有关,医学的对象是人,所以医学实践不能缺了人文。医学人文把握医学发展的正确方向,是医生必有的素质,人文医学就像手术刀和药片一样,是疾病诊治和防控的重要工具,是医生必备的本领。

Medical practice is inseparable from medical humanities.Humanism is the highest state of human culture and an important part of medicine.Humans and animals have life and share a material world.The fundamental difference between humans and animals is that humans have their own languages and words,and thus create a unique cultural world.Health is related to humanities,and the object of medicine is people,so humanities cannot be lacking in medical practice.Medical humanities grasp the correct direction of medical development,which is a necessary quality for doctors.Humanistic medicine,like a scalpel and a pill,is an important tool for the diagnosis and treatment of diseases and an essential skill for doctors.
