Medicine for the person conceptually represents an attempt to bring to the foreground attention to the person (basically the person of the patient but also that of the physician) as opposed to the inattention, disrespect and disregard of the person, an attitude that prevails in modern Medicine [2–5] (but also in modern Society as such). This is a consequence of a variety of factors but, as refers to Medicine, fragmentation of care and hyperbolic dependence on technology seem to be major contributors [1].
