In some cultures, a patient giving a doctor a gift is a way to thank him, while in others, a patient giving a gift will be regarded as a bribery. In the medical field, there are certain moral and legal risks in the acceptance and giving of gifts. Here are some issues that may need to be considered:
1. Hinting red line: In some countries and regions, it is not allowed to accept gifts, especially the acceptance of high-value gifts may be regarded as a bribery and violate ethics and regulations.
2. Ethical issues: When treating patients, doctors should give priority to technical services, rather than determine the quality of treatment based on whether the patient has given a gift. Gifts may affect the impartiality of doctors’ work, so doctors are usually required to refuse to accept gifts in order to maintain impartiality and professional ethics.
3. Responsibility: Doctors will provide professional services to patients and have a sense of responsibility to patients. Receiving gifts may make doctors suspicious of patients and cause trouble for doctors.
In general, hospitals or medical institutions such as doctors usually have clear regulations on giving gifts to patients. If you want to give gifts to doctors, it is best to understand the relevant regulations in advance, and choose some small gifts of moderate value, healthy and practical, to express gratitude rather than make doctors feel uncomfortable. At the same time, gifts are not welcomed by all doctors, so you can write a thank you letter by hand instead.
Do you use gifts to work in a hospital?

In China, medical workers such as doctors and nurses have strict professional ethics requirements, and they are not allowed to accept gifts or gifts from patients.
2. Policies and regulations: The relevant laws and regulations of our country clearly stipulate that civil servants (including medical workers) shall not accept gifts and gifts related to the exercise of their powers. Violation of the regulations will face severe legal responsibilities.
3. Principle of fairness: As a public place, hospitals need to ensure the fair distribution of medical resources. Gift-giving may undermine the principle of fairness, lead to uneven quotas and affect the rights and interests of other patients.
