Abstract
This contribution explores the many pathologies that plague the existence of the renowned Mexican artist Frida Kahlo (1907-1954) and the impact they had on her character. Moving from a mere pathobiographical reassessment, this note, through historico-medical research, highlights the patient-physician relationship that the painter developed with Dr. Leo Eloesser (1881-1976) and underlines the role this form of friendship may play in patients' wellbeing. The special friendship between the artist/patient, Frida Kahlo, and her physician, Dr. Eloesser, shows that medicine is not just the sum of diagnoses and therapies but a much more dynamic and complex process involving trust and humane qualities.
