论医患关系的法律属性

医事法（又称卫生法）究竟是属于民法的调整范畴还是属于行政法的范畴，国内学术界争议很大。从医学科学与医疗行为的本质特征看，医患关系并不具备民事法律关系所必须具备的主体平等、双方自愿及等价有偿互惠互利三大特征中的任何一个特征。同时也不存在行政主体与行政相对人的关系。为此，首次提出医事法既不调整横向的民事法律关系，也不调整纵向的行政法律关系，而是调整斜向的医事法律关系的一门独立的法律体系的理论。

On Legal Attributes of Medical Relations

It is disputed domestically whether Medical Law (Health Law) is a part of civil law or that of administrative law.Based on analyzing fundamental features of medical science and medical conducts,medical relations do not possess any essential qualities of a civil relation,the equality of the parties,self-autonomy,reciprocity and mutual benefit;and that in medical relations,there are no administrative subject and administrative counterpart as exist in administrative relations.Therefore,the article pioneers in advocating that medical law is an independent jurisprudence which governs relations neither lateral (the civil relation) nor vertical (the administrative relation) but oblique (the medical relations).
