Methodology

"We expect a doctor we expect attention and understanding, for the patient is not a mare collection of symptoms, signs, altered functions, damaged organs or disturbed senses. He (the patient)is, instead, a human being with fears and hopes, searching for relief, help, and reassuring. For a doctor, as for an anthropologist, nothing of the human nature is strange or thought provoking. A misanthrope can be come a skilled diagnostic of organic diseases, but has little chances of becoming a good doctor. A real doctor has a deep interest for the wise and for the crazy, for the proud and for the humble, for a historic hero and for a whining beggar, for he heals people.

Braunwald and coll.

In this quote there is an explicit premise regarding official medicine. A doctor, before all, must be a person who "meets" the ill. The patients are not numbers or clinical cases, but suffering people in search of help, whom see the doctor as a person above and beyond his/her knowledge.

In the beginning the human relation between the two is called "doctor- patient relation". This relation will strengthen and gain importance (at times becoming therapeutically) as the patient faces the healing routine: collection of the case history, objective examination, laboratory tests, complex exams, specialized advice, diagnosis, and therapy.
