Summary/Abstract: The medical world has nowadays become an interesting place ofinterdisciplinarity, a place where natural, humanist, religious sciences, with theircorresponding personalities, come together; they are dedicated to helping the ill / thesuffering. The greatest challenge, from this point of view, is precisely the capability ofintegrating various components so as to provide the patient with the best assistance.However, contemporariness shows us that the development of medical means in a solenaturalist direction has led to objectifying disease which becomes itself a reality,independent, looked upon from an exclusively biological perspective, without the spiritualand moral connections of the person experiencing illness and suffering. This resulted indepriving the ill person of his disease, many physicians treating not the person who is ill,but the specific illness or organ.
