| 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. |
