Medicine tends to be a holistic discipline, according to which the individual should be treated as a whole and provide comprehensive biopsychosocial health care and also in relation to the environment. The effects of climate change on the disease burden require the doctor to make a "situation diagnosis": that is, to get an idea of the interaction of man with his context. From the general medical care level there are a number of possibilities of including the environmental nuance in clinical tasks with patients, which have protective and health promoting effects, individually and with global ecological repercussions: 1) The therapeutic contexts (those places, situations or contexts that achieve both physical and psychic environments associated with an improvement of health or well-being): the healing power of the environment and nature (green spaces, forests, parks, open spaces, and gardens personal, walking-for-thinking, living with a companion animal); 2) To be aware of the ecological repercussions of the “micro†decisions: Ecological and environmental effects of the prescription of certain drugs, of the dietary advice, preventive approaches for patients in the consultation that are based on environmental measures (as in osteoporosis, prevention of skin cancer, etc. 3) Promote the human factor: contextual circumstances in the relationship which can condition listening, and therefore, diagnosis and intervention; 4) Change the perception of the environment: mental landscapes, through artistic creation, etc and 5) Pharmaceutical contamination of nature, secondary to polypharmacy and therapeutic non-compliance: generalized contamination of river systems worldwide with antibiotic compounds, pharmaceutical contamination at sea, drug contamination is concentrated in insects and passes to the Predators. In short, in general medicine, tasks carried out at a small caliber level can subtly tilt the world towards ecology, dignity, compassion, and health.
