Abstract

This essay addresses the physician – patient relationship (PPR) question, central to medical practice, from some perspectives I consider relevant.

The matter has frequently been reflected upon from a normative standpoint -what the PPR “ought to be”-. Contrarily, the attempt to describe the PPM epistemologically is rare. I think epistemology has something to contribute here, in 
order to study the medical interaction phenomenon, trying to unravel its distinctive features in the framework of human encounters.
