Narrative in medicine or, generally, in healthcare, is being stated as a form of patient care humanization (Charon, 2008; Gallian, 2012: 174-177; Carelli, Pompilio, 2013: 677-681; Fernades, 2015: 21-39; Fernandes, 2015: 1-7). An acknowledged milestone among the various groups dedicated to this study is accrediting the doctor-patient relationship as the drive shaft of the understanding between these two poles of the healthcare service(Plapler, Carelli, 2015). Hurwitz (Hurwitz, 2006: 216-240) affirms that the medical consultation is a specific category of encounter which can be analyzed narratively. There are many plausible kinds of textual analysis models that make possible to better understand how this encounter discursively happens and evolves. This relationship, however, has been scientifically evaluated mostly as an intersubjective phenomenon which occurs randomly, in a way the patient (or his/her illnesses) is(are) still considered mostly as objects of health professionals’ knowledge. Our goal here is to show that the knowledge built up through and within this relationship results from the constitution of a specific linkage among elements (attention, time, care and guidance) that are discursively built.Downloads
