These methods are to of a quantitative nature — epidemiologyusually being cited as an example—the connectionbetween but qualitative methods and what are referred to as theSocial Sciences seems predominat. This article is aimed, on thecontrary, at pointing out that qualitative methodologies, whichare richer and more highly complex that the quantitative approach,do comprise an intrinsic part of Health Science traditions.A run through the major milestones and events throughoutthe history of Medicine reveals the paradoxical protocol ofHealth Sciences, overlapping the Natural Sciences and SocialSciences, overlapping qualitative and the quantitative view.More specifically, this analysis revolves around a twofold approachto illness, by way of signs and symptoms, as a condensingthese paradoxical protocol considered. A historical analysisreveals how the twofold, complex way of signs andsymptoms is equivalent to the complex relationship whichexists between the qualitative and the quantitative perspective.The signs correspond to quantitative approach and thesymptoms to the more qualitative. The relationships betweenthe two would be similar to that existing come to bear betweenthe qualitative and quantitative perspectives in the field of theSocial Sciences. These results show the qualitative perspectiveto be rooted in medical tradition itself and may therefore facilitateits use these by all health care professionals as a whole.The fact that the «semiology» so in vogue today in the socialsciences stems from «clinical semiology» should not be overlooked. 2002 artículo científico 1135-5727 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=17076503 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=170 Revista Española de Salud Pública application/pdf Ministerio de Sanidad Revista Española de Salud Pública (España) Num.5 Vol.76
