Temas para discussão e discordância

Abstract

develop this theme by debating concepts and propose that this should be the start of a discussion to identify common themes for all our countries, for physicians and for the health of the population, which is the objective of our profession.A long time ago who wrote these lines was worried about recovering the memory of our American ancestors in medical science. It is necessary to remember that, starting from our universities and hospitals, scientific models for the medical practice and research were initiated and developed, showing the way for generations of professionals, not only in our Latin-American countries, but also in countries of other continents. An example of this is the Argentinean hygienist and famous neurosurgeon, Ramon Carillo, who died in Brazil in 1956. He taught his concepts, developed half a century before in Brazil using a sanitary system, which was an example to the doctors and professors who were the pioneers of the current cardiovascular surgery, including Zerbini, Albanese, Jatene, Favaro, amongst many others.This concern to emphasize many unfair lapses in memory is to recall the conditions of the medical humanism which was the tradition for our universities and our mentors; unfortunately this has been forgotten in recent times in exchange for a new manner of working. Thus, the use of technology and the economic resources necessary for progress has changed values that should have remained untouched: the medicalpatient relationship, without social discrimination, with sufficient time for good communications and sympathy, which is the best therapy along with so many other compassionate acts.Many physicians only remember these situations when they, for reasons of health, need a friendly and comforting word of the physician who attends them.To recover the memory is to highlight the life and the creative work of our mentors who developed what is today our surgery, in a vertiginous step forward that they could never imagine.Some of the procedures that today are simple routine, were extremely complicated techniques developed over long hours in the surgical center, not so long ago. Themes for discussion and disagreement Adolfo Saadia*In our Countries, the aforementioned names and many others in the health system are recent history and are the culture of the current and future generations.They should not only be recognized for what they represent in the development of surgery, as they essentially formed a model of ethics in medicine but also the Ethical-Moral values left to us by our mentors, that are now lost in a confusion of values changed by others who should have left them alone.We must educate not only the techniques of work, but also the culture and discernment, in a way that we are not stuck in the scheme that distorts our own criteria, mixed up in information difficult to depurate or with a language which makes us lose the primitive richness and our idioms.The information must allow the elaboration of rational thought and not only an obscure and bogus promotional selection.These concepts...
