La trascendencia del acto humano en la medicina como acto humano humanizante

Abstract

In the present global dynamics of deep social transformations, a new concept of medicine is arising in response to a distortion of the absolute objective nature of scientific thought by depriving it from its virtue(*), and from the vindication of the subjectivity of the medical act. In recognizing the existence of a less objective and more subject-oriented(**) or “subjectivized” personal behavior, where the doctor-andpatient reality lies, this act goes beyond simple medical action and it is transformed into a humanizing human act, the essence of professionalization. This requires a physician to be not only technically skilled, highly productive and, of course very efficient, but at the same time much more human, more present and more available in the doctor-patient relation.
