Abstract     Miroslav Krleža was a typical example of his time and place, a sentimental and cynical critic of Balkan, and an intellectual ruminant of the twentieth century. In his work he often tackled medicine from different angles. However, his approach to medicine was, as always, unsystematic and inconsistent. He could be quite confessional and intimate, when fascinated by the perfection of a human machinery and the power of medicine over it; or by the sensation of a profound interlacing and his own dependance on this huge discipline, which despite his autodidactic efforts and erudition somehow remains beyond his range. At some other time he would universally negate any authority, finding medicine as an ordinary social phenomenon subjected to all the principles of a particular space and time. This essay tries to evaluate his theses, whic directly or indirectly concern medicine, and to give an analysis of structure prospective.
