Abstract:
There are a large number of atypical symptoms and undifferentiated diseases in general practice, in which sociological factors are deeply involved. So to incorporate social factors into clinical thinking and to interpret disease from the perspective of the patient′s social life will enrich the multidisciplinary medical model and holistic care in general practice. This article shares author′s clinical experience through introducing typical cases, in which the patient′s social life and behavior characteristics played certain roles in disease development. The article also explores a new way from the sociological perspectives to interpret the complex symptoms that are difficult to be explained clinically by biomedicine or psychology.
