Coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic is persisting for more than a year and it's still far from being controlled. It is making a big impact not only on physical illness but also on mental and social aspects. In this situation, we need to reflect on current medical society's view of disease and health. The dominant paradigm in contemporary medicine is the reductionist view of disease and the biomedical model of health. As a result, the healthcare system seems to be more focused on virus eradication than on patient care. We need to look back on this position in view of humanities and ethics and broaden our perspective to an ecological view of disease and the sociomedical model of health. The quarantine and health care policy also needs to be re-built with more focus on patient care.
2019 年冠状病毒病大流行已经持续了一年多,目前仍远未得到控制。它不仅对身体疾病产生了重大影响,而且对心理和社会方面也产生了重大影响。在这种情况下,我们需要反思当前医学社会对疾病和健康的看法。当代医学的主导范式是疾病的还原论观点和健康的生物医学模式。因此,医疗保健系统似乎更侧重于消除病毒,而不是关注患者护理。我们需要从人文和伦理的角度回顾这一立场,并将我们的视角扩展到疾病的生态观和健康的社会医学模式。检疫和保健政策也需要重新构建,更加注重患者护理。
