Summary/Abstract: The global recognition of patient´s rights currently shows a reality no doubt; however, this achievement has been the fruit of a long and laborious historical process. This paper tries to describe the original relationship between physician and patient characterized by a marked paternalism, the reasons that caused the situation to continue in a surprising way to throughout history and the way in which occurred this fervently desired transformation, essentially linked to the birth and global acceptance of human rights.
