Journal Article
The art of medicine: The suffering of physicians
2009
Overview
During the past 40 years, we have become all too familiar with the dehumanisation of modern medicine: new technologies have altered the relationship between doctor and patient; specialised physicians know more and more about less and less; doctors treat diseases rather than people; medical schools teach the science but ignore the art of medicine; medical technology has outpaced moral understanding; and hospitals have become cold, impersonal mazes. Medicine is filled with many people of good will, integrity, and commitment who strive to provide compassionate and ethically sound care, teach and mentor students, maintain scientific standards of practice, keep current with the most recent literature in one's field, and undertake biomedical research. The disillusionment of many physicians in many countries derives from the imbalance between the energy and focus devoted to strategic planning and generating a financial surplus and the attention given to the primary goals of professionalism and patients' care.
