In former times doctors in Taiwan, who
were considered saviors, were greatly admired. This is not only because they
were able to relieve sick people of their pain and save their lives, but because
they demonstrated admirable willingness to help the sick. Now in
this industrialized world people are inclined to choose material possessions.
This is true of doctors, too. The high income of doctors is the envy of other
people. Many high school graduates are eager to get into medical colleges, and
countless girls consider doctors to be their best choice of husbands. For many
years the public has charged that doctors in public hospitals demand money from
patients. The amount of money the patients give determines the kind of treatment
they receive. It has also been said that drug companies have to pay the doctors
so that the latter will use their products. Recently a large
medicine factory set up by the U.S. Investors declared that it will stop giving
"kickbacks" to doctors as the factory bas spent too much to promote sales over
the years. This declaration has caused quite a stir in our society. We wonder
what the officials who have denied the dealings mentioned above will say about
this.
