The hippocratic doctor uses his body as a craftsman of his instrument. First to build his reputation. Then to display his knowledge through his clothes, his attitude and his gestures. The doctor still uses his body at the time of the consultation. He uses his senses from the patient body messages and all signs he perceived allow to develop diagnosis and treatment.
