Educating Doctors' Senses Through the Medical Humanities: "How Do I
Look?" uses the medical diagnostic method to identify a chronic
symptom in medical culture: the unintentional production of
insensibility through compulsory mis-education. This book
identifies the symptom and its origins and offers an intervention:
deliberate and planned education of sensibility through the
introduction of medical humanities to the core undergraduate
medicine and surgery curriculum. To change medical culture is an
enormous challenge, and this book sets out how to do this by
answering the following questions: How has a compulsory
mis-education for insensibility developed in medical culture and
medical education? How is sensibility capital generated, who 'owns'
it and how is it distributed, mal-distributed and re-distributed?
What is the place of resistance (or 'dissensus') in this process?
How can the symptom of a 'developed' insensibility be addressed
pedagogically through introduction of the medical humanities as
core and integrated curriculum provision? How can both the identity
constructions of doctors and doctor-patient relationships be tied
up with education for sensibility? How can artists work with
clinicians, through the medical humanities in medical education, to
better educate sensibility? The book will be of interest to all
medical educators and clinicians, including those health and social
care professionals outside of medicine who work with doctors.
