Renaming 'Cadaver Skin' to 'Macroscopic Skin' is a Professional Decision: Rational Doctors Have Committed the Sin of Arrogance

Regarding the Ministry of Health and Welfare's renaming of 'cadaver skin' to 'macroscopic skin' (Da Ti Pi Fu), the author argues that this is not an absurd populist act but a professional decision that takes into account the psychological feelings of the crowd. The article criticizes some doctors for opposing the socially accepted term in the name of rational professionalism, committing a unique intellectual arrogance, and points out the importance of reducing the post-traumatic psychological impact of media reports on the general public after major disasters.
