Medicine as a profession is entrusted with the responsibility to prevent disease and treat the sick--a responsibility that has both personal and social dimensions. The profession's social conscience is being called upon anew as Americans devise an ethic of the common provision of health care.
医学作为一门专业,肩负着预防疾病和治疗病人的责任——这一责任兼具个人和社会层面。随着美国人制定共同提供医疗保健的伦理准则,该专业的社会良知再次受到召唤。
