Clinical medicine was long considered dead. It was thought to have disappeared in the technological emergence of A.I. and big data. But its murderers have forgotten that the clinical is a theoretical practice that differs in the look and decision of each doctor and each patient. Has the clinical not changed with time and technology? This is what the article questions. Now it is born again, what could be its future prospects? Producing observations, therapeutic decisions and treatment results, the clinical provides a mass of data to the health system. It represents an invaluable source of big data for medicine. It paves the way for the integration of A.I. into the decision. But it is the self-management of these data by the clinical relation which must be in a position to draw the ethical and political perspectives for a medicine guaranteeing the common good in the current technological advance.
