Contributions to the Understanding of the Current Problems of the Doctor-Patient-Technology Trilogy

287-289

Abstract

"The help provided by technological tools is beneficial to the clinical act. At this point, it is necessary for the physician to know how to investigate auxiliary procedures to achieve the diagnostic complementarities offered by semiology. Technology is not an isolated entity in the interpretation of elements that are added to the clinical act; in fact, it cannot decide by itself. Also, this does not lead to proper medical training. There should be no technological abuse in pursuit of a diagnosis. This does not improve or replace the clinical act, because unless properly interpreted, these studies can be misleading. An excessive value given to auxiliary procedures can lead to clinical error and neglect the "human factor", a pillar in medical practice"
