Medical students studying Shakespeare may easily connect with patients: Study

Studying Shakespeare could help medical students connect with patients

 E-Mail A palliative care doctor has suggested that studying Shakespeare s plays could help medical students connect more closely with their patients. Writing in the Journal of the Royal Society of Medicine Dr David Jeffrey, of the Department of Palliative Medicine at the University of Edinburgh, investigates how the playwright s empathic approach - the ability to understand and share the feelings of another - can enhance the patient-doctor relationship. Dr Jeffrey writes that the idea that emotions are disruptive and need to be controlled is deeply ingrained in medical education and practice, contributing to doctors distancing from patients. The coronavirus pandemic, with the need for personal protections, social distancing and video consultations has, he says, created challenges to establishing empathic relationships between patients and doctors.
