O ambulatório no discurso dos médicos residentes: reprodução e dinâmica do campo médico / The ambulatory in the speech of resident doctors: reproduction and dynamics of the medical field

O objetivo deste estudo é compreender a função do ambulatório na dinâmica das relações de poder e construção de identidade da profissão de terapeuta da medicina ocidental contemporânea. Para a realização do trabalho, foram coletados dados através de entrevistas abertas e observações diretas, em duas unidades hospitalares da cidade do Rio de Janeiro (Hospital Pedro Ernesto, Posto de Atendimento Médico São Francisco Xavier), com 12 médicos. O ambulatório surge no discurso dos profissionais em início de carreira como instância negativa e monótona que impede o diagnóstico de novas patologias. Surge também como espécie de rito de passagem formador da identidade médica. Marcado pela frequência de pacientes oriundos dos estratos sociais mais baixos, esta dimensão pública das instituições médicas repercute relações de classe e dominação inerentes à nossa sociedade, mas também apresenta sinais de uma dinâmica no campo médico que pode contribuir para a compreensão dos processos sociais.

This public dimension of the medical institutions was marked by the frequency of patients from the lowest social strata, transmitting relations of class and domination inherent to our society, but it also presents signs of a dynamics in the medical field that can help understand social processes.
