Medicina tradicional versus medicina oficial: ¿complicidad o poder?

Abstract

La salud y su conservación son temas que preocupan a las personas desde el principio de los tiempos, en la actualidad estamos inmersos en una sociedad del bienestar, donde no es bien tolerado sentirse mal, por lo que, rápidamente, se buscan remedios de todo tipo. Actualmente, la convivencia entre la medicina tradicional y la científica u oficial es evidente, utilizándolas según necesidades, creencias o conveniencias de cada persona. Pero además de la convivencia existe una cierta relación de poder: entre la clase médica y los pacientes. Con este trabajo pretendemos demostrar esa convivencia y valorar la evolución de los conceptos de salud en una pequeña población de personas con una edad comprendida entre los 65 y 85 años, nacidas en el medio rural, que actualmente residen en una zona urbana de Ferrol. Así hemos constatado que actualmente se acude a ambos tipos de medicina, dependiendo de la gravedad del problema, de la confianza o de las conveniencias personales, conviviendo ambas medicinas en la población de estudio, para ello acompañamos las referencias etnográficas recogidas.

Health and its conservation are topics that have concerned people since the beginning of times. We are immersed in a society of well-being, where feeling bad is not tolerated. For this reason, quick remedies of all types are searched for. At the moment, the coexistence between traditional medicine and the scientific or official one is evident. Each one is used according to necessity, beliefs or personal convenience. However, besides this coexistence, a certain relationship of power exists: between the medical class and patients. With this study, we seek to demonstrate that coexistence and to evaluate how concepts of health have developed in a small population of people aged between 65 and 85 years, born in a rural surrounding, who at the moment reside in the urban area of Ferrol. In this way, we have verified that, at the moment, they resort to both types of medicine, depending on the seriousness of the problem, trust or personal convenience, thus both medicines in the study population coexist; data for this have been gathered in an ethnographic study.
