“…Sometimes, we would hold off on a discharge until a test came back from a special lab across the country. It was the opposite of what Edmund Pellegrino would later call parsimonious care 3 or the "choose wisely" mantra advanced by the American Board of Internal Medicine. 4 With our residents' encouragement, we ordered tests without any idea of what they might cost or their true utility.…”

In this essay, the author reflects on his development as a physician by recounting two patient narratives of patients he cared for as a third year medical student. In the process of telling these stories of sickness, the author also provides a window on medical practice in the 1980’s in an academic medicine center and how practices have changed. Decades before what has been dubbed “narrative medicine,” the author learned the power of words to shape relationships and promote professional formation.

Some philosophical and metaethical theories have tried to provide a fundamental background for bioethics but miss the fundamental question about what medicine is, its nature and its end. We argue that the philosophy of medicine, through the development that Edmund Pellegrino and David Thomasma gave to this field of study, allied with Aristotle’s practical and teleological ethics, can provide an ontological background for bioethics beyond the tradition of principles and deontology, with particular emphasis on the uniqueness of the doctor-patient encounter. Some difficulties and criticisms of this ontological model are also examined.
