This article was migrated. The article was marked as recommended. The idea of incorporating an interdisciplinary field about the Human Condition of the patient and its intrinsic dignity, under the title of Medical Humanities or simply Humanities into the core curriculum of medical education seems reasonable. We hope it may become a reality as remedy for the difficulties of the doctor-patient relationship in modern medicine, which is extremely technological.
