In Poland, patients’ rights are protected by the instruments included in the Act on Patient Rights and the Patient Ombudsman. This law provides for a procedure for dealing with medical negligence claims, which are referred to as medical event. Other types of proceedings related to a claim arising from a medical error include civil proceedings, proceedings relating to the professional liability of a person performing a medical profession and criminal proceedings in a criminal case. As a rule, it can be concluded that the initiation of one of the proceedings excludes the possibility of using another form of applying for a claim.

Language, as a system of communication, usually does not tolerate two different words that would have exactly the same meaning. The reason why modern Polish words lek and lekarstwo, both meaning medicine, are still used, even though they mean exactly the same thing, is that originally they meant something else, and the process of approximation of their meanings was long and complicated enough for the language not to be able to eliminate the unnecessary one.

The object of this paper is to provide an opinion on the regulation of conscience clause in relation to doctors, nurses and pharmacists under Italian law. The opinion was based on the legislative texts available on the websites of the Italian government and the Ministry of Health. Conscience clause is governed by Article 9 of Legge 22 maggio 1978, Norme per la tutela sociale della maternità e sull’interruzione volontaria della gravidanza (Legge 194/1978), under which a doctor or nurse may re‑ 194/1978), under which a doctor or nurse may refuse to provide and participate in carrying out abortions, should they submit a statement – subject to Article 5(3). Conscience clause is governed by Article 16 of Legge 19 febbraio 2004, n.40 standard in materia di procreazione medicalmente assistita (Law 40/2004), under which a doctor or nurse may refuse to participate in medical procedures and assisted conception treatments.

According to the researchers, the most intriguing and fascinating work at the Corpus Hippocraticum is the treatise De prisca medicina. It consists of 24 parts in which Hippocrates argues that the human organism is a blend of various substances or humors. Having set forth humoral theory, Hippocrates criticizes the hypothesis about the causes of diseases independent of this theory. Hippocrates medicine, due to the way it is practiced, should be treated as τέχνη, and this term can be translated as proficiency, craftsmanship, skills, craft, and art. Medicine should not use hypotheses or generalizations but should be based on experience and research. The doctor was a researcher, but above all a craftsman, accompanied by students and other doctors, with whom he analyzed every case of disease.

Medicine and its secrets have always enthralled human beings, especially when the focus point is on illnesses and possible treatment. The pandemic of Sars-Cov-2 determined our lives. The amount of news associated with the epidemiological crisis substantiates the statement that there is still much that is unknown in this matter. Assuming that the unknownshould be explained via something familiar, I consider the application of the conceptual metaphor. The aim is to investigate its presence and usefulness in the description and understanding of abstract conceptual domains such as illness and its course, therapy and treatment, as well as coronavirus and its form.

Health sciences is a fairly young discipline which deals with the multi-layered analysis of such elements as health care, health system, health education. Health sciences undertake also a detailed analysis of the process of minimising the consequences of an illness while taking into account the technical and service-related background. A distinctive feature of health sciences is the fact that they integrate several disciplines from various fields of sciences such as medicine, biology, humanities, social sciences, economics, law and technical sciences etc. Health sciences have an open and dynamic network of scientific links and associations. This feature allows one to undertake interdisciplinary research within the field of social sciences. Creating health science departments at the public medical universities in Poland has resulted in heightening and diversifying their research and educational potential. By opening health sciences’ departments most of the medical schools managed to obtain an official status of a university. However in the field of health sciences the idea of universitas is transformed into the idea of diversitas – that is – an epistemic and methodological diversification. The idea of diversitas that characterises health sciences means a certain deconstruction of the monolith stability of the medical and pharmaceutical sciences. In this context it is interesting to define the university status of health sciences and their place in the structures of medical universities.

The Hippocratic Oath strictly prohibits the administration of lethal medication and assisting someone in killing him or herself. A significant number of people, however, have felt that this strict prohibition is no longer tenable. They are of the opinion that, in some cases, medicine should help a patient to die peacefully, rather than prolong unbearable and pointless suffering. After discussions of euthanasia had been going on in Europe and the U.S. for more than a century, euthanasia was legalized in two countries, Belgium and the Netherlands, in 2002. At present, there also exist legally sanctioned possibilities for assisted suicide in- besides the Netherlands-Switzerland and Oregon. All these developments have generated an enormous amount of literature on the subject of euthanasia. Given the huge quantity of recent articles on the attitudes of physicians towards euthanasia, a review seemed relevant.

The purpose of the present paper is to show how conceptual metaphor theory and blending theory or conceptual integration model can be complementary in analysis of language. We are going to discuss the language of the medical television series House M.D. (seasons 1-5) with the aim to demonstrate how the use of conceptual metaphors and blends reveals the mysterious workings of the human body, disease, diagnosis and treatment to laymen - the viewers. The article discusses six examples of blending paying special attention to the following features of blending operations: achieving goals of blending, namely providing human scale, global insight and coming up with a story, and inputs clashing.

Basic books on medical eponyms, history of medicine or medical dictionaries, describe usually the historical contribution of scientists and physicians. It is impossible to ignore the role of patients in some medical discoveries. Some diseases have been named after the person who first described the condition. Sometimes diseases are named after a place (Bornholm disease, Lyme disease, Ebola hemorrhagic fever) and even societies (Legionnaires' disease). Rarely a disease was named after a patient. In this short article I describe my collection of a few relatively unknown medical stories and the patients behind them.

Mastic tree thrives and gives mastic only in the south part of the island of Chios (Greece) and nowhere else in the Word. Mastic oil has been found to be effective in both preventing and treating various cancers. It heals also pectic ulcers by killing Hellicobacter pylori. Natural mastic gum has also been proven to absorb cholesterol thus diminishing chances of heart attacks and high blood pressure, and helps reduce triglyceride and total lipid levels of the organism.

The Hellenic medical ideas have found appreciation among people over centuries. Though the initial concept remained the same, methods or ways to achieve desired aims have changed. Since Hippocrates, new generations of physicians have worked hard to find more powerful types of therapies to relieve their patients and make treatment less burdensome. The struggle of medicine is very specific and requires, apart from practical skills, a clear personal commitment to help people wisely. From the Early Antiquity, both medicine and medical ethics go together. Wherever Hippocratic medicine is practiced, an appropriate moral pattern accompanies it because the Hellenic doctor offered purely clinical data and his art should not be separated from anthropology, ethics and religion.

Aesthetic medicine has been developing at a fast pace in recent years. It is necessary and ethical for anyone who undergoes any of these treatments to receive complete information on its implementation methods, as well as its consequences andadverse effects. Only once the person who would be affected by these procedures obtains truthful and impartial information, can he or she provide a legally binding consent to undergo a procedure. Thus, the information received by the patient plays a crucial role since it underlies the subject’s decision concerning the treatment.

The intensity of scientifi c contacts between the countries is evidenced, inter alia, in the make-up of the foreign members of the academy of sciences of a given country. In the case of the Academy of Learning in Kraków, later the Polish Academy of Learning (PAU) and the Czech Academy of Sciences and Arts (ČAVU), the relations have been thoroughly investigated by a Czech historian M. Ďurčanský. As regards the relationships in the fi eld of medicine, a mutual membership of a group of foreign members of PAU and ČAVU was uncommon, a notable example being Rudolf Kimla, the professor of the Faculty of Medicine at Charles University in Prague. Kimla was renowned for his work for the development of cooperation within the Slavic medical milieu, which was fostered by Slavic doctor conventions. Kimla’s appointment as a foreign member of PAU (1935) followed his participation in a congress of Slavic doctors held in Poznań in 1933.

Specialist languages should be straightforward and unambiguous. In areas such as law, business or medicine precision and to-the-point wording is required. However, in order to facilitate the description of complicated matters, and especially in expert to non-expert communication, unexpected strategies, e.g. metaphorisation, are used. Conceptual metaphor theory, as initially introduced by Lakoff and Johnson (cf. Lakoff & Johnson, 1980) states that human beings tend to think in metaphors, i.e. we are engaged in constant search of similarities between concepts. This drive for pattern recognition helps us understand the unknown in terms of the familiar, the abstract in terms of the concrete. Most conceptual metaphors are grounded in our physical experience of the world, which means that we draw from this familiar experience while creating metaphorical mappings to the complex, abstract concepts. Controversial as it may seem, the same process applies to understanding professional terms and scientific notions, and as a result the language of law, business, medicine, etc. is heavily metaphorical in nature. In our presentation we focus on medicine alone and analyse a corpus of medical text in search of conceptual metaphors. We claim, that rather than obscuring the message, metaphors actually make it clearer and more precise. They enrich conceptualisation, structure the semantics of the message and serve a number of pragmatic functions, esp. in doctor to patient communication. By choosing a certain metaphor, the message may e.g. be softened in order to lessen the impact it has on the recipient. Moreover, it may be more easily understood if it is built on an adequate conceptual metaphor. Many metaphors used in the medical discourse are based on multimodal representations e.g. descriptions of diseases often invoke the imagery of food including its shape, colour, texture, and smell. Such multimodality of representation (cf. Forceville, 2009 and online) engages a number of cognitive faculties for the construction of a complex conceptualisation and in this way helps us gain better understanding of the concepts described. We claim that conceptual metaphor and esp. pictorial metaphor is a very effective tool used in didactics and its use is perfectly justified in scientific discourses, including the medical discourse. Therefore, in our presentation we analyse pictorial metaphors found in medical discourse and in the field of radiology in particular.

Tremendous human development in technology could result in “posthuman” modes of being. After offering some definitions and conceptual clarification, review the utilization in medicine of new technology. This quasi – religion, of continuous human body improvement refer to some posthuman modes of being would be very valuable. The general acceptance of medical usage of transhuman approach become more acceptable, if we use technological development to treat humane body diseases. Moreover, there is ample evidence that human aspiration to prolong life without diseases provide to greater acceptance of transhuman - “posthuman” concepts.

The author introduces the figure of Władysław Matlakowski, a 19th-century “modern man” of many talents, today slightly forgotten despite his important contribution to science and culture in the second half of the 19th century. Chałubiński — awell-known Warsaw physician — became strongly assimilated into the Tatra landscape and people, when he was suffering from tuberculosis. That is why he became passionate about trying to save the highlanders’ culture and language. His memories of his journey and journal of his illness constitute avaluable source of information about how Matlakowski viewed the world around him, and show the sensitivity of this writer and translator.

The aim of this article is to show the influence of witches, demons, ghosts, and gods on human health in Ancient Mesopotamia. Mesopotamian medicine was based on magic and considered illness to be the work of a supernatural power. Ashu and ashipu – doctors of body and soul – worked together to diagnose and help the patient. Sometimes prayers and magical rituals were necessary for a patient to get well; often, only a herbal mixture was needed. Mesopotamian magical and medical texts describe many kinds of diseases: somatic, mental, and others. Among these are: fever, headaches, leprosy, epilepsy, blindness, impotency, paralysis. This article is an effort to analyse Mesopotamian prescriptions, incantations, and medical interventions and to answer questions about the health of ancient mankind.

Paracelsus said that : "Medicine is not only a science; it is also an art. It does not consist of compounding pills and plasters; it deals with the very processes of life, which must be understood before they may be guided." The meeting points of music and medicine, both art and science, are many: the stories of physicians who became musicians; diseases or infirmaries of famous composers; musical use while performing medical, surgical or psychological procedures; and music as a mean of therapy. Along history, many physicians were deeply involved in music: medical practitioners may well improve their everyday skills of the patients-physicians interrelationship, being more humane, more patient to their clients and much more happier.
