Il giudizio medico fra sapere scientifico ed etica della cura: la “prassi” di una buona medicina fra evidence e narrative.

Modern medicine has been shaped, more and more, to become a purely scientific activity, based on rigorous and objective evidences following the physical-mathematical model dominant in modern science. This mechanistic model, applied to medicine, and the advancements of scientific knowledge and technology have obfuscated the importance of dialogue and of the subject in the care relationship. Through an integration of the Evidence Based Medicine and Narrative Based Medicine the physician may, in clinical practice, explore biological data and the subjective dimension of the patient as a whole. This approach toward a medical judgment might be able to reconcile scientific thought and philosophy of care, turning the technical gesture into a practice of good medicine.
