Description
Summary:Medicine of 21st  Century has  absorbed a broadest knowledge  of biochemistry, genetics, pathology,  pharmacology, which make  to do wonders.  More and  more common is definition of medicine as personalized or patient-centred. However exact meanings of such “centredness” are still vague. This article is an attempt for modern reading of a classical text by G. A. Zakharyin, one of the most prominent figures in classical  medical  thought.  A  “commented reading”  is provided  of his  “Clinical Lectures”  with emphasis  on the meanings  of wholeness  of a patient  as  the one merged   into  social  background,  having  psychological  suffering  together   with somatic  pathology  itself. The possibility is commented on how to explicate  the author’s thoughts to modern evidence based  practice of medicine.
