Medical care based on technical rationality, along with "Evidence-Based Medicine", converted the doctor in an operative technician and relegated the participation of the patient, only with his disease. The health-disease phenomenon results from the complex patient-environment interaction over time. The management of this intricate situation led the development of Clinical Judgment -scientific method applied to the clinic-, and is described in the "Architecture of Clinical Research". Dr. Alvan R. Feinstein wrote, "There is nothing in such description [of the concepts] that a sensible physician, experienced in health care, does not know, or cannot understand."REFERENCES
