Over the past two decades, physicians have suffered declines in real income, community standing, and of collegiality. Physicians must not view themselves solely as victims of the sweeping changes in current medical care delivery. They have both the opportunity and the duty to reassert their true role as compassionate conveyors of the science and the art of medicine. This article explores the historic trends that have led to our current state. It also explores the exciting possibilities open to doctors to assume a renewed elevated status that both they and their patients yearn for.
在过去二十年里，医生的实际收入、在社区中的地位以及同行间的融洽关系都有所下降。医生绝不能仅仅将自己视为当前医疗服务全面变革的受害者。他们既有机会也有责任重申自己作为医学科学与艺术富有同情心的传播者的真正角色。本文探讨了导致我们当前状况的历史趋势。它还探讨了医生有可能获得一种新的更高地位，这是他们和患者都渴望的。
