“…2 The physician is active, distant, authoritarian and dominant. The patient is treated as being empty, deprived of his or her internal reality-that is, as an entity without subjectivity, 3 which is why he or she is passive, dependent and helpless.…”

During the period of conflict that led to the dissolution of the former Yugoslavia, the Serbian healthcare system suffered greatly; as a result, relationships between physicians and their patients reached an all-time low. After cessation of the various wars, a group of medical students attempted to assess the state of the patient–physician relationship in Serbia. Their study showed a relationship characterised by very meek patients and rather arrogant physicians. Empowered by their engagement, the medical students constructed a set of standards for achieving a proper patient–physician relationship; physicians should be capable of hearing and understanding patients, with the result that the ensuing empowerment can enable patients and physicians to create a tool for changing the relationship between both parties.

“…The causes of negative events and failures were placed on the child, whose disability was presented as the most crucial explanation for problems, and the basis for solutions and a source of anticipating new abnormalities. This kind of continuous concentration on difficulties and medical diagnoses gives an image of the problems as impossible to overcome (Riikonen & Smith, 1997;Stambolovic, 1996). The child with a disability and her family may interpret deficiencies as arising from themselves and adopt a passive role as recipients of services (Peters, 1999;Pfeiffer, 1998).…”

“…The child was treated as an empty entity and as an object of external forces, largely controlled from outside. Medical practices have been much criticized when applying action models such as these (Abberley, 1995;Linton, 1998;Reed & Watson, 1994;Stambolovic, 1996;Wodak, 1996), but these models also appeared in texts written in other professional sectors.…”

“…Still, in the long run, it could not avoid the subjection to… The Deconstruction By means of deconstruction, i.e. by revealing the unspoken assumptions behind claims to "truth" [6], it becomes obvious that, similarly to other social domains, the "truth" of health care is based on the main determinants of Cartesian paradigm, i. e. on objectivism, reductionism and mechanic determinism [7]. Namely, it becomes obvious that objectivism, reductionism and mechanic determinism are the common source:…”

In the era of Modernity, the access to health care provided by official medicine became one of the established human rights. It appeared however that in contributing to the human right to the “highest attainable status of health” official medicine was violating patients’ human rights. The source of that violation was embedded in the fundamental concepts of Modern medicine: objectivism, reductionism and mechanical determinism. Namely, these three concepts led to the development of medical theory and practice within which technology was everything and the treated human being - “nothing”. In the dawn of Post-modernity the other approach to treatment is emerging. Instead on a Cartesian , it is based on a Holographic paradigm. Fundamental concepts of that approach are: objective/subjective, holism and personal responsibility. These concepts are enabling treated human beings do develop into co-creators of their health. In addition, they are emphasizing that the respect of human rights which we could name Postmodern should be the new conditio sine qua non of a professional health care
