World Medical Association President Sir Michael Marmot's much-noticed greeting to the delegates at the 119th German Medical Congress in Hamburg quoted Goethe's Wilhelm Meister . It was an appeal and challenge, addressed to the medical profession: “It is not enough to know, one must also apply; It is not enough to want, one also has to do. ”
With this, the Briton Marmot - he himself has been dealing with the causality between the social environment and health for years - symbolic leitmotif, superstructure for that medical thinking and acting which, in the opinion of doctors, should and inevitably become more weighty in view of current problems in the health care system.
Not that the medical parliament has lost sight of its duties and the feeling for current needs. Whether GOÄ amendment, medical training and further education, whether telematics, quality assurance or requirements for relevant committees and organizations: What should be regulated was discussed - in some points quite diverse and with corresponding severity. In the end, there were resolutions that maintain the further development or continuation of the free medical existence as the overriding goal.
From the retrospective, the initial attempt by some delegates to persuade parliament to vote out the President of the German Medical Association has an effect. for many as storm. What followed was an atmosphere that was quickly cleared up and thus room for unreserved decisions in dignified parliamentary environment.
That medical knowledge, coupled with basic medical ethical solidity, not only permits, but even requires, clear positions on highly political debates the decisions on how to deal with the patients who have fled from crisis areas and are seeking asylum here in Germany. Medical action, as was made very clear in Hamburg, does not make distinction: the patient is person, he is treated as such.
This became even clearer at the Doctors' Day in the attitudes of the delegates to the progressive economicization of medical medicine Care. What was demanded was not like dream dance, not unrealistic. The standards that one wants to set against progressive personnel savings in supply were very specific. The speeches were very clear, emphasizing dissatisfaction with the restrictions in everyday hospital life at the expense of patient care.

Healing, not economic success, must remain the basis. With the exception of few stock shareholders, hardly anyone else will see that.
Germany's medical profession has made it clear once again in Hamburg that it is professional group, even if the broader public has repeatedly seen media tips wholesale adheres to acting ethically responsible.
