PHYSICIANS’ INTERDISCIPLINARY CHARACTER

Abstract

Along time, physicians have been perceived by society as either a last hope, or have been watched with reverence or, if they have not responded to expectations, have been blasted. There was the case of physicians who, for the fault of not managing to heal, especially in the case of those employed by the potentials of their times, paid with life for the alleged errors. Even literature has perceived their guild differently; something easy to understand considering the influence that physicians can have on others’ lives. A characteristic of physicians who have created aesthetic values is that they have not been bound by artistic currents. The multidisciplinary character of these personalities that have influenced society not only in the field where they have been prepared but much broader, of the culture cannot be denied. And the explanation for this “retreat” of physicians in culture is the need that these Hippocrates’ descendants have felt to expose their soul, to create beautiful. The multidisciplinary character that doctors demonstrate, their ability to bring together the most varied fields, including culture, are the proof of distinguished and always open-minded spirits.
