RESUMEN
Se describe una nueva patología nostra-de nosotros los médicos-un nuevo síndrome que afecta al médico moderno en su relación con sus pacientes y enfermedades. Se postula que el ente mórbido toma su origen en la servil sumisión del facultativo ante la ¨Deidad Máquina¨ a quien concede, entre otros atributos, omnisciencia y omnipotencia. Como resultado de su fantasía, con mucha frecuencia ¨descalifica su cerebro¨ y abdica su juicio clínico a favor de los dictados erróneos de aquella, con el consiguiente perjuicio para el paciente. Como ilustración de la condición se narran las vicisitudes de algunos enfermos y el tortuoso camino del diagnóstico de sus condiciones patológicas
ABSTRACT
The ¨dysqualified¨ brain syndrome. The author describes a hitherto undescribed syndrome which affects the modern physician and his/her relationship with patients and their diseases. He postulates that the morbid entity takes its origin from the doctor’s submission to the ¨Machine Deity¨ to whom he concedes, among other attributes, those of omnipotence and omniscience. As a result of this fantasy, physicians frequently ¨disqualify¨ his/her brain,and abdicate their clinical judgment in its favor with the ensuing disservice to their patients. As an illustration of such condition, the difficulties of several patients are presented, whose diagnostics were abusive, erroneous or delayed due to deficient clinical histories
