This article reflects the relationship between patient and physician, mainly with regard to the Czech law. The concept of health and disease in each historical period also influenced the patient-physician relationship. Different kinds of this relationship are demonstrated on four models. When we reflect the relationship between physician and patient, with all its difficulties and possibilities, we recognize human dignity as the basis of this relationship.

Keywords: physician, patient, relationship, human dignity, autonomy, informed consent
