Abstract:
This essay attempts to bring on a new perspective for healthcare professionals regarding the problems that surround this institutionalized profession, based on a system of stock balances and not on the real needs of patients and their community. The healthcare professional not only engages in biomedical healing but also possesses knowledge and expertise regarding the dialectical process of health/disease. Thus, his or her practice and actions should be centered on social practices and not just the healing process.
