"The medicalization of life is doping to respond to the current rhythm"
- Although it is sometimes criticized that doctors prescribe pills too fast and easy, this Primary Care physician has made us a different reading: “Give me that people come to the consultation saying something,” to be able to continue working, to face the responsibilities of care, to overcome anxiety, to be able to sleep… “We are doctors the last poem of people, but we cannot solve the problem of the model of society.”
The current pace of life and life often leads us to meditate on ourselves, says physician Aitor Montes. He who has come with a pharyngitis asks him “something powerful” and Montes tells him that if it takes a few quiet days, the pain will go alone. “But I have to take care of my grandchildren,” patient care.

Not in vain, the more precarious the context, the greater the demand for drugs and pills, “because the people who work in exchange for miserable salaries in working conditions, when they are lost, when they have nowhere to go, because it makes the doctor, we are the last poem, because they have no more blame for them”.
Medicalization is a quick route for those who need rest and care.
Anxiolytics and antidepressants are often demanded by the population and it is women who consume them most. “People tell us they’re very worried, they can’t sleep and give pills.” Says Montes: “What is a social problem we have made it a medical problem.”

What blew me a lot is the way some doctors talk to the patient. They talk to us about pain as if we were children. As I have had two kidney transplants, I know what I mean: among other things, I have had a tube inside my penis. Because of the anesthesia, I didn't feel how I got... [+]

Lack of good doctors for a high middle grade policy. This policy has ensured that very few young people have reached the medical career and the MIR has further removed people from that career.
And there are few Basque doctors because the knowledge of Euskera in this profession... [+]
Rainy red mornings, red blondes. Little with the Aramaio train and soon wind turbines will be installed, destroying the mountains. The wind of the river, from Vitoria, leads us along the same path: the river. Infrastructures yes, all we want, but not socio-health care... [+]
We are now talking more about mental health, psychological well-being and its impact on our quality of life. It is a source of joy, because it helps to get the subject out of the closet, because by showing that the pain we all have (and not a few) the discomfort normalizes and... [+]
Haur eta gazteen egoera emozional eta psikologiko txarra dela-eta, irakasleak gaindituta daudela eta ikastetxe bakoitzean psikologo bat ezarri beharko litzatekeela aldarrikatzen du mugimendu batek. Hari horri tiraka, jakin nahi izan dugu zein den pandemiak eskoletan utzi duen... [+]
