Abstract

The Need to Reinsert Subjectivity in Medical Care

Felipe Rilova Salazar*

Without ignoring the warm and prudent style that many doctors can radiate individually in the treatment they provide to their patients, the truth is that this bioethical concern is not consistent with the prevalent positivist matrices that sustain medicine as a social institution. As we will see, the discourse of a discipline is the linguistic form in which knowledge is exposed. The words that a speech reiterates (its vocabulary) reflect both the way of "saying" and that of "thinking". In order to the absence of terms referring to subjectivity in medical discourse, we will take care to point out the healthcare consequences that depend on this conceptual exclusion.

When the object of a science is also a subject, disregarding considerations related to this aspect carries significant clinical risks. Reinserting the subject in care, leaving the exclusive objectification, prevents the medicine from causing the same thing that it intends to treat.
