Medicine and health
Due to the predominance of jurisprudence in medicine, modern doctor – patient relations are subject to certain censorship. A health care facility is perceived as a place where doctors and medical staff provide services to the patient, rather than help.
Diagnostics and treatment of diseases are presented as a product on the market of services, being strongly influenced by Commerce. Therefore, medicine is a socio-social and commercial field of knowledge, where treatment is a product that the patient needs. Such conclusions can be made if we analyze current trends in the field of medicine and health care.
This policy in the field of public health leads to the need for strict regulation of the doctor-patient relationship. The state law “on health care” of each country specifies the rights and obligations of medical workers and patients. Failure to comply with the above-mentioned legal regulations may result in sanctions of various scales. It is worth noting that the law “on health care” may have differences in each individual country, however, despite this, there are theses that function absolutely in any legal state, and we will talk about them.
Therefore, doctors and medical professionals should know that the state will be on their side only if they comply with all their duties and do not violate the rights of patients.
