“…Indeed, the history of a public policy, even one as important as Medicare, has rarely, if ever, been the main focus of the history of medicine in Canada, despite the fact that the discipline "has shifted from an exclusive focus on great doctors and their medical innovations to a new interest in the social history of medicine." 1 Although the scholarly study of the social history of medicine and health care has been growing, very limited attention is devoted to the history of health care policy. 2 Why is this?…”

Despite its importance in Canada, the history of Medicare has rarely been examined by historians of medicine. Of the many possible reasons, three stand out. First is the political nature of the policy and the historical profession's shift from political history in recent decades. Second is the challenge posed in researching a complex public policy involving numerous administrative and financial instruments. Finally, there is the decentralized nature of the Canadian federation in which the history of Medicare belongs as much, if not more, to the provinces than a single, national-level government.

“…A RMP sofreu mudanças expressivas ao longo dos séculos, e a empatia não poderia passar ilesa 11 . Perestrello 12 ilustra com a seguinte frase as percepções acerca da desumanização do paciente: "Nas enfermarias, os doentes perdem a sua personalidade e passam a ser o 'leito 15' ou o 'caso de cirrose'"(p.98).…”

A Relação Médico-Paciente (RMP) vai além do encontro situacional entre esses dois intérpretes, algo maior do que fazer perguntas e exames físicos, receitar medicamentos e prescrever condutas. Estudos sugerem que a RMP mescla habilidades técnicas e pessoais. Frente ao dissabor de atuações médicas homogeneizantes que ignoram a pessoalidade intrínseca de cada vivente, a empatia surge de forma prática na RMP para promover grandes avanços diametralmente opostos a estas práticas. Empatia, no contexto médico, remete à sensibilização do médico pelas mudanças sentidas e refletidas, momento a momento, pelo paciente. Talvez a empatia encontre seu significado mais compreensível na célebre frase de Ambroise Paré: "curar ocasionalmente, aliviar frequentemente e consolar sempre". Considerando que a empatia pode enriquecer a prática médica, pode-se cogitar a possibilidade de ensinar a ser empá tico ou discutir a importância da empatia sob a ótica de docentes do curso de Medicina. Para isto, este artigo aborda, de maneira qualitativa, a empatia e sua importância na RMP para a formação de novos médicos numa universidade pública e discute sua transmissibilidade.

Unhealthy Neglect? The Medicine and Medical Historiography of Early Modern Wales

Social History of Medicine

The medical historiography of Wales is dominated by two themes: industrialisation and medical folklore. For the early modern period, this academic concentration on folklore has served to posit an unbalanced rural caricature with an over-emphasis on magical healing. Welsh medicine was actually a diverse mix of traditional and orthodox beliefs under one general model of understanding, affected by various factors including religion and urban growth. The study of the medical history of early modern Wales may also have wider implications, such as the importance of regionalism, rural and urban variations and the spread of alternative medical ideas such as Helmontianism. The interdependence of town and countryside also serves to highlight the ways in which medical information could be disseminated. Wales was not a rural enclave, and was part of a wider medical network. Many sources exist which can be used to shed light on early modern Welsh medical culture and such work could contribute to a better understanding of wider medical milieux by exploring variations as well as similarities. Further, such research would address a wider need for more rural studies and lead to a better understanding of the role played by distinct regions such as Wales.
