Resumen
PINILLA GONZALEZ, Rafael Orlando y PINILLA PEREZ, Magda Elena. Technology as a growing threat to the doctor-patient relationship and the clinical method. Rev Cubana Cir [online]. 2019, vol.58, n.4 Epub 25-Mayo-2020. ISSN 1561-2945.
The advancement of medical sciences in the second half of the 20th century has been due to advances in therapeutics, basic sciences, and technology applied to diagnosis. The objective of the study is to offer an assessment of the role that the clinical method plays in medical practice. The scientific and clinical method are an inseparable unit and work in full harmony. The clinical method is a work guide applicable to medical work, with the aim of reaching a contextualized diagnosis of the disease that affects an individual. Technology does not replace the clinical method and the deterioration of the doctor-patient relationship, the undervaluation of interrogation, physical examination and the overvaluation of technology are the aspects that most affect its use and correct application in medical practice.
