title: [Perestroika--in medicine too].
abstract: The article criticizes the one-dimensionality of natural science and the one-way concept of causality in medicine. The crisis in medical practice and health economy is considered in the light of an outdated and rigid health ideology with parallels in the "scientific" dogmas that have now been discarded in Eastern Europe. In this article we try to point a way out of this unfortunate situation: how would a change of paradigm affect clinical practice, health ideology and our concept of social policy?
