Description
Alan Bleakley explores a chronic symptom in medical culture: the unintentional production of insensibility through compulsory mis-education. This book identifies the symptom and its origins, offering an intervention: deliberate education of sensibility through the introduction of medical humanities to undergraduate medicine and surgery curriculum.
The author examines how a compulsory mis-education for insensibility has developed in medical culture and education, and how it can be addressed pedagogically. He also considers the role of resistance and the potential benefits of integrating art and clinicians through the medical humanities in medical education.
