The fragments and compartments of medical knowledge are not the only causes of difficulty found to form surgeons. The abandon of medical education associated with human science (social science) has formed professionals that understand biological science but don't understand life science. The distance from individual and cultural everyday reality enables one to not understand uniqueness and differences of each human being. Surgeons frequently have been described as someone endowed with bad qualities which actually just represent a tough and daring aspect. In other words, you don't need to be gifted to operate. All you need is effort, hard work and determination. Education built with problems produces a critical knowledge that makes an individual intervene in reality that physicians lives in a transformer, conscious and objective way. The critical and humanistic construction of knowledge will only be possible if teaching includes historical and socio-cultural characteristics and not only bio-centric and hospital-centric ones.
