Abstract:
Only technical knowledge is taught at medical school. How medical professionals should behave and emphasize with patients is not taught. It is strange that the purely scientific has dominated medical education for so long. Without the incentive to care for and protect patients, it is difficult to acquire the ability to apply medical knowledge and skills. In other words, emotion and knowledge cannot be separated in medical education. Being full of consideration for the patient constitutes the affective basis of medicine. This attitude should be taught repeatedly in clinical practice. The best model for aspiring doctors is the good conduct and attitudes of other doctors senior to them.
