RESUMO
This article contains the results of the empirical analysis carried out in 2012-2016 which sought to examine whether patients' narratives of their illness were present in doctor-patient communication and whether this subjective story was significant to both sides of the medical communication in Russian somatic disease medicine. The research was carried out in four stages and combined qualitative and quantitative methods, analyzing the perspectives of patients, doctors and medical students through surveys and interviews as well as looking at online doctor-patient communication in health forums. In all four stages, the results of the research showed that little value was placed on the subjective experience of disease in doctor-patient interactions. The topic of narrative medicine is new to Russian social studies, making the results of this research an important contribution to the establishment of narrative medicine as a global idea advocating the universal therapeutic and ethical value of patients' stories of illness in the "remission society," in which chronic pathologies dominate.

RESUMEN Este artículo presenta los resultados de un análisis empírico llevado a cabo entre 2012 y 2016, que buscó entender si las narrativas de los pacientes están presentes en la comunicación médico-paciente y si esta historia subjetiva es significativa para ambos lados de la comunicación médica en la medicina somática rusa. La investigación se realizó en cuatro etapas y combinó métodos cualitativos y cuantitativos, analizando las perspectivas de pacientes, médicos y estudiantes de medicina a través de encuestas y entrevistas e indagando además en la comunicación médico-paciente en foros virtuales. En las cuatro etapas, los resultados de la investigación mostraron que se otorga poco valor a la experiencia subjetiva de la enfermedad en las interacciones entre médicos y pacientes. El tema de la medicina narrativa es inexplorado en los estudios sociales rusos, por lo que los resultados de esta investigación constituyen una contribución importante en pos de establecer la medicina narrativa como una idea global que promueve el valor universal en términos terapéuticos y éticos de las historias de enfermedad en la "sociedad de remisión", en el cual dominan las patologías crónicas.
