“Rethinking the medicine of today serves in some way to indicate a path on which to realize the medicine of the future. It is a different medicine from yesterday’s one linked to a vision deeply centered on the doctor and not on the person and in which the relationship was biased in favor of the doctor. Today, however, we need to resume a reasoning that really fulfills the task that the Constitution entrusts to us doctors, namely that of respect for rights, including not only the right to life and the right to health, but also that of health. ‘self-determination which is a fundamental process “. Thus the president of the National Federation of Orders of Doctors and Dentists (Fnomceo), Filippo Anelli, on the occasion of the event’ The incomparable science: rethinking medicine today ‘, a debate to reflect around to the book ‘The incomparable science: medicine, doctors, the sick’ by Ivan Cavicchi, philosopher of medicine, professor of Logic and Philosophy of Science at the University of Tor Vergata in Rome (Castelvecchi Editore). “From here emerges the idea that medicine is going through an identity crisis – continues Anelli – and wants to find a way to be still extraordinarily present in the social fabric of our community and to give a This is essential, not only from the point of view of competences but also from the cultural and ethical point of view. We need to rethink our way of being doctors and treating people, using the relationship to get to know the patient and decide with him the necessary treatments “, underlines President Fnomceo, who edited the preface of the volume. Boiron’s unconditional contribution, present were Francesco Cognetti, president of Foce (Federation of oncologists, cardiologists and hematologists), Maria Luisa Agneni, pulmonologist and coordinator of the Non-Conventional Medicine Commission of Omceo in Rome, Maria Domenica Castellone, researcher and doctor, group leader in the Senate of the 5 Star Movement, member of the Permanent Commission on Health and Hygiene and Silvia Nencioni, President and CEO of Boiron Italia. “Society has profoundly changed – recalled Anelli – we have gone from a paternalistic medicine, with the doctor who ‘ordered’ what to take, to a model in which the doctor advises, decides with the citizen, and this is a fundamental step. We must understand that our vision of the profession must be modified “. In addition, in this evolution we must not forget the influence that the economic bias has:” Today even the judges of the Court of Auditors argue that the doctor must not be subjected to economic constraints in the least because its only interest remains and remains the health of the citizen. But to change our profession we need a law. The activity of doctors – rings insists – cannot be linked to a balanced budget, the right to health cannot and must not be subordinated to available resources. It is clear that the government must know how to allocate and administer resources to guarantee the right to health, but a change in the governance of the system is necessary ”. Today there is a need for every doctor to add to his or her training baggage “a greater humanization of medicine, an objective that is achieved not only by changing a healthcare system that is now deeply linked to corporateization, the achievement of economic objectives and a balanced budget, but also and above all taking up the notions of a classical and formative nature that give a reason for being a doctor, which is a search for one’s own identity linked to our Constitution ”concludes Anelli.
