what is the biomedical model of health and illness
Biomedical model According to the biomedical model, health constitutes the freedom from disease, pain, or defect, making the normal human condition "healthy." The model's focus on the physical processes (for example, pathology, biochemistry and physiology of a disease) does not take into account the role of social factors or individual subjectivity. Unlike the biopsychosocial model, the biomedical model does not consider diagnosis, which affects treatment of the patient, to be the result of a negotiation between doctor and patient.[1]
