Abstract

Looking at things objectively, we must admit that medicine has made amazing progress in recent decades. In his rush for performance, the doctor as a scientist, seduced by technology, tempted to explore the new possibilities offered by it, however, began to distance himself from both the bio-psycho-social component of man and his existential problems. For some, this manner represents justified reasons for concern, arouses discussions and controversies, it  determines taking positions and concerns in order to remedy some attitudes and gestures that can be interpreted as dehumanizing for the medical act. Are all these concerns and nostalgia justified, in a world full of progress where the pace of modern life and the dizzying pretense around us limit the time we have to rest under the platanus trees of the island of Kos?
