Female Patients and Male Doctors: Qing Dynasty’s Ethics for Dealing with Female Unmentionable Disease (2014)

unapi

That the ethics in Qing dynasty strongly called for segregation between men and women brought difficulty which prevented male doctors from treating female unmentionable disease.However,laying stress on their unmentionable disease,most female patients took an active action to invite male doctors. In order to protect their privacy,they chose such tactics as narrating their disease,misrepresenting it,saying nothing,or having their pulse felt behind a curtain. To meet the psychological needs of female patients and facilitate their treatment,male doctors adopted other means for their treatment,such as inquirimg indirectly about their disease,reasoning with them to make them sensible and forming a quasi-blood relationship. Ethics did not standardize the gender relationship to cope with female unmentionable disease so that the interactions between female patients and male doctors were confused to a certain extent. The ethics about segregation between men and women was alleviated in the course of treating female unmentionable disease.
