Abstract:
The views of G.A. Zkhariin and S.P. Botkin, the founders of national therapeutic scientific schools, concerning the skills of communication with patients drastically differed.

Zkhariin. S.P. Botkin proposed to apply the communicative technology targeted on the questioning and gathering the anamnesis data in a free manner and having minor importance in comparison with the instrumental examination.
