TOBOS OTALORA, Juana Fernanda  and  ROLDAN GARCIA, Santiago. A BIOETHICAL PERSPECTIVE OF THE PHYSICIAN-PATIENT RELATIONSHIP IN A COMMERCIAL COMPETITION ENVIRONMENT. rev.latinoam.bioet. [online]. 2012, vol.12, n.1, pp.88-111. ISSN 1657-4702.

After a historical journey to the doctor-patient relationship, this paper wishes to inquire into the question of how a profession like medicine, where it seeks the welfare of those who come to health services, while acknowledging his own individuality disciplinary can keep the place in society of trust in a system where the important merchant is producing revenues in an environment of commercial competition. The theoretical review is based on the search for what have been the moral and science that have been traditionally attributed to healthcare, in particular doctors, and the influence it had on the form of staff interaction health and sick. And how to the point, this relationship has been transformed, then the legislative intent to optimize the limited economic resources of developing nations, and in particular the case of Colombia. Finally, once identified some of the possible causes of the deterioration of trust in human relations in the field of clinical care, addresses the issue of how the breach of that offered by science, including economic tools and lack privacy in the context of medical practice, are the cornerstone in the changing scenario where there is the doctor - patient relationship, since they condition the possibility of instituting an open and honest communication, and does not allow the construction of a condition of "friendship" between the clinician, the victim and his family.
