    Imagine a situation in which a patient asks a doctor “Why must I die?” and the doctor stands there stunned. Physicist Schrödinger claimed that scientists unconsciously put “I” as the subject of recognition outside the objective world. Both doctor and patient put “I” as the subject of recognition outside the objective world. In medicine as a science, doctors eliminate the fact that each patient is “I” for himself.
