Whether it is ethically acceptable for doctors to require payment of fees before treatment depends on interpretation of the ethical rules of the profession, the circumstances of the doctor-patient relationship, the urgency of the patient's need for treatment, and whether refusal to treat before payment represents abandonment of a patient.
医生在治疗前要求支付费用在伦理上是否可接受,取决于对该专业伦理规则的解释、医患关系的情况、患者治疗需求的紧迫性,以及在未付款前拒绝治疗是否构成对患者的遗弃。
