Abstract:
Doctors ought to belong to a social stratum with fairly high incomes. The high input and long cycle that is essential to becoming a high-caliber doctor constitute the high costs of the medical profession; high technology, high responsibility and high sacrifices constitute the high risks of the medical profession; the contrast between the input of high intelligence, high academic degree, and high expertise and the output of low economic income tends to warp the minds of doctors. The inversion of the burden of proof in medical lawsuits has practically put doctors on the weak side. Their rights and interests as well as their practice circumstances have been disregarded. For the sake of the development of the health cause, it is imperative to respect the labor of doctors and to provide them with sound survival circumstances.
