| [ Summary ] | The essence of overall treatment by medical teams is that each medical staff member should be conscious of their role, in relation to their professional status and recognize their own responsibilities. The first step in this process is to change the thinking and behavior of doctors especially in terms of considering all medical team members as equal medical professionals. Secondly, if doctors are to be considered to be competent professionals, they must develop the ability to manage their team, as well as being physicians. Each team member must acquire the habit of using common sense in the treatment of those around team, in their daily routines. A third point is that all team members must not shift their responsibilities. The fourth point is that medical staff members must cultivate a warm, caring attitude toward their patients and co-workers. The essence of team medical treatment should be carried out through a conscious effort at professional behavior, which can produce uniform humane care for patients. That is, treatment for patients as whole humanbeings. |
