Current Medical Mode

The medical mode may be regarded as the chief characteristics of medicine of an era, and it mainly concerns of

medicine of a time. With the development of society, two main medical modes exist: old one and new one.

Old medical mode is also called biological one, and it is centered on diseases. That is, the doctor only focuses on illnesses, not social human beings. Instead, new or current medical mode is bio-psycho-social one, and it is centered on patients as social human beings. The doctor pays attention to not only the sick man or woman, but his or her psychological status and social environment. Compare with the former, the latter takes more factors into consideration.

Why does medical mode change from a bio-medical one to a bio-psycho-social medical one? The reasons maybe have many, however, three major causes must be considered.

First of all, social changes may rank the top. With the entrance to 21st century, our society becomes more and more modernized, and more and more people move to cities, thus cities become more crowd than before, but modern people possess fewer time to communicate each other because of heavier burdens or some other reasons, as a result, some of them become anxious, lonely, angry, crazy and so forth mental problems. Next, nowadays, disease spectra have been greatly changed, heart and brain diseases and malignant neoplasms rank the top three death-caused illnesses，infectious diseases are no longer the main reason of death. Finally, progress of medicine should not be overlooked. With the advance of modern medical technology, more and more sophisticate apparatus, such as CT, NMR, FCM and

so on, have been invented. So many diseases are easier and easier to diagnose and therapy, thus changes the medical mode.

In conclusion, with current medical mode having been established, on one hand, we should enhance health education around the country, on the other hand, medical workers should set up ideas of holistic therapy, taking social and psychological factors into consideration in diagnosis and treatment as well as biological ones. Thus we can keep up with the requirement of current medical mode. （356）

Controlling idea:

Current medical mode is a bio-psycho-social one.

Current medical mode is concerned not only with the biological factors but also the psychological and social factors of a patient.

Current medical mode pays much attention to the psychological and social factors that affect human health as well as to the biological factors.

Changes in society and disease spectrum and progress of

medicine have caused the medical mode to develop from a biological one into a bio-psycho-social one.

Current Medical Mode

The medical mode may be regarded as the

chief characteristics of medicine of an era, and it mainly concerns of medicine of a time. With the development of society, two main medical modes exist: old one and new one. （The medical mode may be regarded as the chief characteristics of medicine of an era, and the main concerns of medicine of a time. With the development of society, two main medical modes exist: an old one and a new one. [With the development of society, a new medical mode has been developing from the traditional one.]）

Old medical mode is also called biological

one, and it is centered on diseases. That is, the doctor only focuses on illnesses, not social human beings. (The old medical mode is also called a biological one in which interests of medical workers are usually centered on biological aspects of a patient. That is to say, doctors focus their attention only on illnesses, not on social beings of a patient.) Instead, new or current medical mode is bio-psycho-social one, and it is centered on patients as social human beings. The doctor pays attention to not only the sick man or woman, but his or her psychological status and social environment. Compare with the former, the latter takes more factors into consideration. (By contrast, the new

current medical mode is bio-psycho-social in nature because it demands medical workers to center their interests on all the aspects of a patient as a social human being. In current medical mode, doctors are supposed to pay attention not only to the sickness of a patient but also to his or her psychological status and social environment. Compare d with the former, the latter takes more factors into consideration.)

Why does medical mode change from a

bio-medical one to a bio-psycho-social medical one? The reasons maybe have many, however, three major causes must be considered. (Why has the bio-medical mode been changing into a bio-psycho-social one? There are three major causes.) First of all, social changes may rank the top. With the entrance to 21st century, our society becomes more and more modernized, and more and more people move to cities, thus cities become more crowd than before, but modern people possess fewer time to communicate each other because of heavier burdens or some other reasons, as a result, some of them become anxious, lonely, angry, crazy and so forth mental problems. (Social development may rank the first. In modern times, more and more people can enjoy a

comfortable and decent life. Increased living standards have made people raised their demands on health. People are not satisfied with mere absence of physical diseases, but want to be happy in mentality as well as in relationship with other people and environment.) Next, nowadays, disease spectra have been greatly changed, heart and brain diseases and malignant neoplasms rank the top three death-caused illnesses，infectious diseases are no longer the main reason of death. (Next, diseases that endanger human health the most have greatly changed. Infectious

diseases are no longer the main cause of death, but heart and blood-vessel diseases and malignant neoplasms rank the top three death-related illnesses.) Finally, progress of medicine should not be overlooked. With the advance of modern medical technology, more and more sophisticate apparatus, such as CT, NMR, FCM and so on, have been invented. So many diseases are easier and easier to diagnose and therapy, thus changes the medical mode. (Finally, progress of medicine should not be overlooked. With the advance of modern medical technology, more and more sophisticated apparatus es,

such as CT, NMR, FCM, and effective medications, such as antibiotics and vaccine, have been invented. So many physical diseases are easier to diagnose and treat than before. [It is easier for people to diagnose and treat physical diseases than before.] Now contemporary people are capable of expanding their medical interests to further improve their health and thus enhance their quality of life.)

In conclusion, with current medical mode having been established, on one hand,

we should enhance health education around the country, on the other hand, medical workers should set up ideas of holistic therapy, taking social and psychological factors into consideration in diagnosis and treatment as well as biological ones. Thus we can keep up with the requirement of current medical mode. (In conclusion, to accelerate the establishment of modern medical mode, nations should take effective measures to enhance health education around the world. On the other hand, to keep up with the current medical mode, medical workers should set up ideas of holistic therapy, taking social and psychological factors as

well as biological ones into consideration in diagnosis and treatment.)

Current medical mode

Medical mode is a sum of important medical views, such as health views, disease views, death

views, etc. Specific medical mode is according to the character, level, tendency and goal of medical development history. In history, there are many forms of medical mode, bio-medical mode and bio-psycho-social medical mode are the main forms after 20 century. Compared with bio-psycho-social medical mode, Bio-medical mode is a traditional and single medical mode which often emphasizes pathology and symptom management, but it can not fit for the requirement of modern medicine. Current medical mode, bio-psycho-social medical mode, is careful about physical health, psychological health and social problem.

Why does traditional model change to the current medical model? The first reason is that during the past
