Nowadays our health-care system confronts serious problems, worsened by an ever aging population. Dr. Diz-Lois and his colleagues examine the question at its roots in doctor-patient encounter, showing how a clinical eye works and leading us towards the need for a change in our medical framework. It's necessary to go beyond medicine characterized by the distance between patient and doctor, the standardization of the approach to the patient and the overuse of technology and pharmacological therapies, with the ensuing expenditure increase and a break in the accompanying of the sick person. To engage the viewer, "The attentive doctor" enriches these reflections with recreations of several clinical cases, commented by Dr. Diz-Lois and performed by first-class actors, effectively connecting information and emotion.
