The approach to the subject of humanising medicine is, in my view, obligatory. The demand for humanisation, which can also have ambiguous and equivocal aspects, arises from a society that is ill in many ways and is directed at a structure, the healthcare system, which is its mirror. The sickness of society has the symptoms and disturbing manifestations of the loss of values, of deresponsabilisation, of the pursuit of consumerist models, of peregrine fashions, of the culture of youthfulness, of activism as an end in itself.
