The social system in Asia has been largely influenced by capitalism, which has greatly affected the medical field. Physicians in Asia are now considered mere service providers by a government that heavily subsidizes [12] a crowded medical system [2]. It is my perception, however, that the general public in Asian-Pacific regions still view physicians, including orthopaedic surgeons, as bearers of an altruistic responsibility who provide paternalistic and honorable medical services. I would argue that Asian physicians are more revered than physicians in other regions.
