{Abstract}: Modern medicine has evolved toward ultra-specialization and sectoralization of medical specialties. This approach may provide an advantage for the quality of care of a single disease but implies the risk of not appropriately addressing comprehensive care. It may sometimes result in overall diagnostic delays due to the prescription of additional diagnostic tests, that could be appropriate considering the single specialist approach but do not consider the overall clinical context of the patient. We describe the case of a patient with multiple comorbidities, who experienced a multiple specialistic approach, without a holistic view.
