Deep and multiple thoughts on this issue have been induced by the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) event happened during the winter of 2002 and the spring of 2003. After the experience of SARS episode, most people believed that the selfless contribution and dedicated spirit and the brave and fearless behavior that the doctors and nurses manifested and practiced in front of SARS merit great respect. Since the work of medical care has high risk and is very tremendous to the strength of the body of the doctors and nurses, people should deeply understand and support their work. The cbjective report and appropriate focuses by the media constructed an important bridge for the good communication between doctors and patients.
