Justice in the whirlpool of interests

Leanne 2022-04-19 09:01:19

Rather than labelling "Desperados" as an action movie and a thriller, it's better to say that it is a drama with a doctor's conscience and moral torture as its main line. Calmly think about professional ethics propositions such as how doctors handle the relationship with medical interest groups, how to clarify conflicts of interest, how to abide by scientific research integrity and prevent wrongdoing. At the same time, the movie also warns us: surfing in the whirlpool of interests, the risks are unpredictable, some people will be killed, and some people will be ruined.

In fact, the unsolved case is not over: the driving force of modern medicine is pharmaceutical R&D enterprises, which have not only achieved their own high revenue, high profit, and high growth, but also created the “blood transfusion mechanism” of medical research by pharmaceutical interest groups, as well as the need for doctors Who can guarantee that the funded research projects still adhere to an objective and fair evaluation? Who can guarantee access to all kinds of benefits from pharmaceutical companies but still insist on rational drug use?

All of this is challenging the ethical bottom line of the medical profession and torturing the conscience of the medical elite: whether to ascend or descend, this Hamlet-style question is ringing inside every moment. Of course, the relationship between medical interest groups and medical elites is not only an ethical and moral issue, but also a legal and social issue. If under the inertia, the conscience of a professional group is bought, the huge consumption of social costs and the lethality of destroying integrity will be unbearable.

    The Westside Cork-style stories, medical insider stories, and escapes everywhere, I’m tired of watching them.

    I started to see it from the second half, and it feels pretty good. I guessed it right, so it's a little regrettable.
