On occasion of a Historic Medico-Surgical Exhibition. The A. analyses the evolution of medical discourse: in the early phases considering the patient as an object of charity (humanistic concept); later as a biological subject (scientific concept) and, finally, in our days, as an object of analysis (technological concept forgetting the human being and his personality). The big scientific-technological advance in individual medicine contrasts, nevertheless, with its incapacity to solve the major social problems of our time (AIDS, drugs) and to maintain a reliable organization in regional wars (Yugoslavia, Africa). Keeping this background in mind, the A. comments on the evolution of Portuguese medicine and some of it traits.
在一次历史性的医学外科展览之际。A. 分析了医学话语的演变:在早期阶段,将患者视为慈善对象(人文概念);后来视为生物学主体(科学概念),而最终在我们这个时代,视为分析对象(技术概念,忘记了人及其个性)。然而,个体医学领域巨大的科技进步与其解决我们这个时代主要社会问题(艾滋病、毒品)以及在地区战争(南斯拉夫、非洲)中维持可靠组织的无能形成了对比。牢记这一背景,A. 评论了葡萄牙医学的演变及其一些特点。
