  • The patient, as a passive agent, so it is “patient”
  • The disease entity, the disease that is the nexus of the vehicle and doctor-patient relationship.

The practice of medicine, embodied by the physician, combines both science and art of applying knowledge and technique to perform a health service. This conjunction bidimensional involved in medical practice revolves around the doctor-patient relationship, which is the core need for medical action to intervene in the health need of the patient.
