title: [Hippocrates is sick of misunderstanding and fatigue in society. How do I cure it?].
abstract: Is taken as a paradigm of the physician Hippocrates devoted to care of the sick individual. Under the format of a fictional history focus aspects of the existential problems that affect the current physician in the exercise of their profession to analyze its causes and suggests some possible interventions of the doctors themselves to solve them. It insists that medicine is the art of applying science and technology to solving health problems of the individual and society, in which doctors study and practice the profession to serve others and that medicine not a commodity to be bought or sold according to market rules. Also emphasizes the concept that health is a basic right of man and not a gift or compliment to anyone or only product of legislation. The medical fee is fair, but not enough on a salary or wage, let alone the terms of a tab based on the benefit to investors, institutions or intermediaries, must be complemented with additional features that guarantee a dignified life. These principles must be preserved at all costs and prevent the market outside interests or "industrialize." The first step to solving problems is to become aware of them and understand them. We present possible solutions.
