Physicians favor literature due to medicine's narrative nature. Integrating literature into medical education can enhance physician ethics and empathy.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Humanities
  • Medical Education
  • Physician-Patient Relationship

Background:

  • Physicians have historically engaged with literature as a nonmedical pursuit.
  • The practice of medicine inherently involves narratives, such as patient histories.
  • Literary figures like Arthur Conan Doyle and William Carlos Williams viewed medicine through a narrative lens.

Observation:

  • Physician-writers often express sentiments linking medicine to 'grim romance,' 'life in the raw,' or viewing patients as 'works of art.'
  • These perspectives may align with the principles of humanistic medicine.
  • Some medical schools incorporate literature into their curriculum.

Findings:

  • Teaching literature within medical education aims to foster humanistic qualities.
