Relations
Professionals and patients
Since the dawn of humanity, the medical profession has been hand in hand with patient problems. Following a pattern of equality, the patient has understood himself as sick and has placed himself in the hands of the doctor with the desire to be cured. It is a relationship based on trust, in which the patient presents himself not only as a set of symptoms, but as a worried person seeking help. How has this relationship changed over time? How do we understand it today?
