The professional activity of a doctor is determined by a variety of factors, including the quality of thinking using logical chains of cause-and-effect relationships. The diagnostic process is a medical thinking order based on the laws of logic, which determines the truth of this thinking and the quality of the process itself. The sequence of correct actions in the methodology of diagnosing a patient is carried out by applying a specific algorithm, which results in the doctor forming a diagnostic idea and making an accurate clinical diagnosis. Questioning is one of the main methods of examining a patient in medicine. The importance of a patient's clinical examination in terms of collecting their medical history and disease profile cannot be underestimated, especially with the introduction of advanced medical technologies. In this study, Semenova Yulia Alexandrovna developed a method for examining a dental patient in a questionnaire based on the morphology of V.Ya. Propp's fairy tales in the genre of a semi-structured interview. The purpose of this method is to implement the principle of patient engagement in order to improve the quality of medical care, which is a fundamental prerequisite for the development of a new paradigm in theoretical and practical medicine.
