Medycyna personalizowana a medycyna narracyjna
Personalized Medicine and Narrative Medicine

Summary/Abstract: The specificity of healthcare services implies that treating various patients diagnosed with the same medical condition using the same method does not necessarily bring the same effects. Each case should be analyzed separately and requires the doctor’s commitment in establishing a relation with the patient, so that they receive a personalized treatment outside the medical scope. Narrative medicine focuses on the individual patient and is therefore the solution for the objectification of patients, who are perceived as a set of biomedical phenomena, and not according to their psychosocial and cultural functioning. The aim of the article is to discuss the issues related with the development of personalized medicine and to show its possible application. Also, the article discusses the issues related with narrative medicine which is intended to establish and/or improve the medical staff’s narration with the patients. The study is based on the latest subject literature. The analysis method applied in the article is a desk research.
