Abstract:
A man is standing inside a large device (only his head is visible) that may be used for x-ray tomography. Verso: WHO/16997. EURO. Machines of Modern Medicine. SM12-75. The crucial link between the person providing health care and the person receiving it is often very weak indeed. Modern medicine tends to emphasize technical solutions and to overlook the value of close personal contact and relationships.
