Edmund Pellegrino considered medicine as a skill, art, and perhaps most importantly, a moral enterprise. In this essay, I attempt to exemplify how the legacy and contributions of Edmund Pellegrino, as a teacher and a physician, could allow for a renaissance of medical practice in which physicians engage intellectual and moral virtue to both effect sound care, and do so in a humanitarian way, rather than in simple accordance with a business model of medicine. The virtues are viewed in a renewed light as being key characteristics of physicians, and important to patient centered care.
埃德蒙·佩莱格里诺认为医学是一门技能、一门艺术,或许最重要的是,它是一项道德事业。在本文中,我试图举例说明,作为一名教师和医生,埃德蒙·佩莱格里诺的遗产和贡献如何能够促成医学实践的复兴,在这种复兴中,医生运用智力和道德美德来实现合理的医疗护理,并以人道主义方式做到这一点,而不是简单地遵循医学的商业模式。这些美德被重新视为医生的关键特征,并且对于以患者为中心的护理至关重要。
