We could foretell disruption rather than integration in medical
society, as well brought out in quitting of business by medical
professionals against the medical law revision in 2007. I argue that
this disruption comes from medical law as a means of social
security in this article.
Medical law is (1) rational process of medical treatment,
process of life, (2) reception of regulation in civil society, civic law,
and (3) protective wall from abuses of structural ideology. Thus
medical law is the fundamental law of medical life world and it
should be regarded as such.
Accordingly, medical law should act as rightful order in
medical life world. However, medical law has seen radical changes
since separation of dispensary from medical practice in 2000. The
core of these changes is the degradation of medical law from being
fundamental law of medical life to being an instrument for
constructing a system of medical social securities. This can be
easily detected by not only the quantitative increase of medical law
but also by qualitative traits of it. That medical law has degenerated to a means of systematization can be observed from
these facts: (1) medical personalities getting functionalized by
medical social securities system, (2) medical treatment regulations
being distorted or dissolved by administrative powers, and (3)
neglection of medical culture by medical policies. Because of
medical law incorporated in functional efficiency of social securities,
medical system perverts therapeutic dialogue between doctors and
patients to strategic relationships, and drives medical professionals
into the state of Anomie, and blurs the standard of doctoring.
In conclusion, medical law should be remained as the
infrastructure which reproduces medical life world continuously.
Medical law should support medical relationships enabling mutual
respect between medical personalities, and make possible to establish
medical act norms in clinical realities, and potentialize medical culture
sharing the meanings. To be able to carry out these tasks, I argue
that medical law should be reformed constantly fulfilling three
requests : neutrality, morality, and rationality(modernity).
