Artful science of hands-on medicine

Thesis (S.M. in Science Writing)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Humanities, Graduate Program in Science Writing, 2008.Includes bibliographical references (leaves 39-42).Listening to lung sounds, feeling the pulse, observing posture and gait-these are just a few of the examinations that doctors perform on their patients. A physical exam exists for every organ, from the brain to the bones of the feet, each carried out with the physician's senses. For thousands of years, humans had been solely responsible for this exam ritual, until the emergence of diagnostic equipment-CT scans, MRI scans, ultrasounds, echocardiograms, mammograms, and more. In some cases, these devices replaced the physical exam. But in areas of the world where technology is unavailable, and even in places where it exists, many physicians and healthcare professionals cannot or will not to cede their tasks to tools. Their goal: to maintain an environment in which technology and the learned senses can coexist; an environment in which the physical exam remains an integral part of medicine.by Allyson T.

Revitalizing Neurology Practice: Integrating Health Humanities, Neurobiology, and Digital Innovation

Rapid changes in medical education are being fueled by advancements in science, technology, and societal structures. However, the traditional medical curriculum often struggles to keep pace with the evolving demands of medical practice in light of these advancements. Neurology presents distinctive challenges in modern medicine, requiring innovative solutions to improve patient care and support the well-being of healthcare providers. This essay delves into the intricate issues encountered by neurologists, such as the diminishing interpersonal connections in the medical field and the prevalent issue of burnout among professionals, exacerbated by outdated educational programs. This research advocates for a comprehensive approach to enhancing neurology practice through the perspectives of Medical Humanities (MH) and neurobiology, within the evolving realm of Neurohumanities. By integrating state-of-the-art neurobiological findings, MH/Neurohumanities, and a focus on empathy, the article proposes practical strategies to rejuvenate clinical practice and bolster the resilience of neurology practitioners. Furthermore, it underscores the untapped potential of artificial intelligence and machine learning while examining how the digital ecosystem could revolutionize neurology medical education. Grounded in evidence-based research and practical insights, this article offers valuable guidance for navigating the complexities of contemporary neurology practice and cultivating a workforce of healthcare professionals who possess both technological acumen and compassion.Rapid changes in medical education are being fueled by advancements in science, technology, and societal structures.
