ABSTRACT

There is an increasing critical attitude about the way of the actual medicine practice and it’s very important to analyze the tendencies of traditional and actual styles and its repercussions on the medicine’s quality. The practice of Medicine is a combination of science and art. The proportion between these two components will vary according the activity to which physician focus, but the clinic, as the more important and extended medical activity, requires of both equally. The proportion between the two components, as well as the characteristics of each one of them, has changed along the history, offering us in diverse times, different tendencies in the medical attention and in its quality. The present medical practice is characterized by predominance of the science, represented by the boom of technology and an oversight of the component art. This does not increase necessarily the quality of attention and represents a deterioration of the traditional medical-patient relation. The possibility to change this is in the own physician hands.
