In everyday medical practice, ideally, scientific findings are combined with the results of the anamnesis, findings and diagnosis as well as medical intuition and experience in order to do justice to the individual patient. The personal patient-doctor relationship that always arises when someone with a health problem seeks help from a doctor is essential. According to medical historians, this relationship has fundamentally changed with the advent of modern medicine. The expert knowledge and the specialist authority of the uniformly trained doctors have elevated them to a dominant role that barbers, stone cutters, but also academic medical professionals of earlier times with their often unsuccessful disease theories did not have. The medical profession today has extensive power to define what constitutes illness and what medical and medical-political measures should be taken against it.
