There comes a great responsibility to make patients feel better with the title of doctor. Often we meet certain moral and ethical dilemmas that cannot be solved by our medical textbook alone. It requires a certain assistance which can only be provided by medical ethics. Medical ethics is the guiding moral that guides Health Care Workers to provide a holistic approach while treating a patient. Medical ethics is the soul that can not only prevent future dilemmas but can overall make a healthcare worker 'feel' and have empathy for the patient. From the story of Paul and the true life stories of patients we encountered during our visit to the Leprosy center, we got a sense of empathy. Ethical practice and empathy are the pillars that can play a vital role in the rapidly increasing level of violence against the Health care professionals. So it is an emerging need to have medical ethics as a part of the curriculum among medical students.
身为医生，肩负着让患者感觉更好的重大责任。我们常常会遇到一些道德和伦理困境，仅靠医学教科书是无法解决的。这需要一定的帮助，而医学伦理学就能提供这样的帮助。医学伦理学是指导医护人员在治疗患者时采取整体方法的道德准则。医学伦理学是灵魂，它不仅能预防未来的困境，还能让医护人员整体上“感受”患者并产生同理心。从保罗的故事以及我们在麻风病中心探访期间遇到的患者真实故事中，我们产生了同理心。道德实践和同理心是在针对医护人员的暴力行为迅速增加的情况下能够发挥至关重要作用的支柱。因此，将医学伦理学纳入医学生课程是一种新出现的需求。
