uklanja, naime, konstitutivni aspekt liječnikovog djelovanja – intersubjektivno,
vrijednosno djelovanje ili »disciplinu strukture osobnosti« (Habermas).
Reducirajući liječnikovo djelovanje na znanstveno-tehničke kontrolne
kompetencije, tehnološka medicina uklanja, posljedično, »uzajamnost
pogleda« i »sporazumijevanje« (Sartre) između pacijenta i liječnika, što je
temelj svake istinske brige o pacijentu.
IMPLICATIONS OF TECHNOLOGY APPLICATION
IN MEDICINE
Problematic De(re)construction of Basic Concepts –
Illness, Health and Physician’s Care
Two successive, yet tightly entwined paradigms which rule medical
culture constitute a firm footing for technological advances in medicine:
biomedical paradigm and medicalisation paradigm. The driving force behind
the first medicalisation model is a physician; the driving force behind
the new medicalisation model is primarily technology. Relying increasingly
on technological procedures and methods, the key component of
medicalisation today is “chasing after” absolute health.
Beside utterly problematic de(re)construction of the concept of illness
and health, new technologies also lead to deconstruction of the concept of
doctor’s care. Technology in medicine and its request for the objectivity of
method takes away the constitutive aspect of doctor’s work: inter-subjective
value judgement or “discipline of personality structure” (Habermas).
Reducing physician’s competence to control scientific and technological
methods, technological medicine, in consequence, denies the “reciprocity
of views” and “understanding” (Sartre) between a patient and a physician,
which is a basis for any true care about a patient.
