Among the best poems of Hans Sachs quite a few describe patient-physician relationships in 16th century Nuremberg. These poems offer a vivid impression of the technical aspects as well as of the social context of medical treatment at the time. Hans Sachs ridiculed the doctors and their patients, implying that everybody attempted to cheat the other side, and he provides evidence of a great influence of charlatans on the country population. The poems of Hans Sachs are extraordinary pieces or art; their aesthetics, though, appear unusual to us today. Medical satire is part of all European cultures, and has been written throughout medical history. Most motives of later satires focussing on physicians may be traced to Hans Sachs' poetry.
在汉斯·萨克斯的佳作中，有不少描绘了16世纪纽伦堡医患关系的诗歌。这些诗歌生动展现了当时医疗技术层面以及社会背景的情况。汉斯·萨克斯嘲讽了医生和他们的病人，暗示双方都试图欺骗对方，并且他还提供了江湖郎中对乡村民众产生巨大影响的证据。汉斯·萨克斯的诗歌是非凡的艺术作品；然而，其美学在我们今天看来显得与众不同。医学讽刺是所有欧洲文化的一部分，并且贯穿医学史都有相关作品。后来大多数聚焦于医生的讽刺作品的动机都可以追溯到汉斯·萨克斯的诗歌。
