Descrição: The art of one practice meets the other somewhere between body and mind, in reader and patient alike. Telhan tackles the phenomenon of fallibility in his column Human Practice, in which fundamental questions about literature and medicine collide to make room for physicians as human beings trying, failing-and then trying again-to understand the world. If I once had a desire as a medical student to see the gap between poetry and practice fully collapsed, I now make space to embrace the distance that separates the two, because it's in that gap that we can discern the particular ways in which writing and medicine fail at their respective aims." [...]I've come to believe that if most people really understood more of what science is about, what it does-because scientists, God bless them and love them, they take that spilled plate of spaghetti noodles and through desperate, hard mental labor, transform it into the COVID vaccine.
