Abstract
The Patient's body has been transformed into a field of battle between the scientific professionals and the disease harbored in an individual Patient. The disease may be seen as an autonomous identity, independent, of the individual characteristics of each one. Our aim is to alert Physicians that besides all scientific knowledge of the treatment of the more diversified diseases, one must never forget to respect the human being as a whole, which by chance has been invaded by a disease. We as doctors are responsible for the Patient's Integrity, Security, Control, Information and Decision, Dignity and Autonomy. These are the six cardinal points for best caring of our Patients. This should be our goal as good medical practitioners.
