Resumen
Este artículo analiza los distintos sentidos que se atribuyen a la figura del paciente.
Metodológicamente se sigue en ello a Simone de Beauvoir quien tematizó cómo los distintos rasgos
identitarios se constituyen en una dinámica entre lo propio y lo intersubjetivo a lo largo del tiempo. La
condición de ser paciente se examina en dos dimensiones: como una relación existencial con la enfermedad
y como un rol en la relación médico-paciente. En la primera parte, se presenta el modelo “paciente”: la
relación existencial marcada por la pérdida y una condición epistémicamente insignificante en la relación con
el profesional médico. Para ello reviso distintas descripciones fenomenológicas de la enfermedad. En el otro
extremo de estas apreciaciones se situarían experiencias de lo “impaciente”, marcadas por la actividad: la
relación existencial con la enfermedad es la de negociación con uno mismo y con el mundo y la relación con
el profesional de la salud marcada por la búsqueda común de soluciones. En esta parte me baso en Isabelle
Baszanger y Annemarie Mol. Se concluye que ambas formas de concebir al paciente son extremos de un eje
entre las que transcurre la experiencia de convivir con una enfermedad.
This paper describes two different meanings we usually associate with being a patient. In order to do so, I draw on Simone de Beauvoir and her methodology which enables me to conceive how different features of one´s identity are construed temporarily in a my own-intersubjective dynamism. Being a patient is here examined with regard to two dimensions: as an existential relationship with the illness and as a role in doctor-patient encounter. In the first part, the “patient” model is being analyzed. The relationship with the illness is conceived mostly as a loss, and epistemologically, the patient is conceived as irrelevant or irrational in the relation with the healthcare professional. To conclude it, I analyze different phenomenological description of being ill. The other extreme, I present “impatient” experiences, which are full of activity. Here, existential relationship with the illness is conceived as a “negotiation” and doctor-patient relationship is more about searching acceptable solutions in common. This part is mostly informed by Baszanger´s and Mol´s work. In conclusion, it is stressed that both notions form extreme points of the axis of illness and patient experience.
