Arts and humanities are a valuable asset to medicine, especially in regards to ethics and diagnosis. If a doctor is not trained in literary analysis he/she will not be able to critique the patients history beyond that of just understanding the words. As doctors hold the lives of patients, they must dig deeper and understand the underlying meaning of patient's history to correctly diagnose them.

That makes no sense. How is spending hours studying Shakespeare going to help doctors communicate with patients better? Doctors only need to understand good science, that's enough to understand medical disorders.

Unfortunately you're thinking is obsolete and judging by the comment you made you, ironically, did not understand the underlying meaning of the of the video. In fact, you barely scrapped the surface. She is not saying that reading Shakespeare will help medicine but much more than that. Perhaps you should watch the video at 0.5 speed? Anyways, I'm not here to participate in of those long and time wasting KZbin arguments in the comments section. Watch the video. Then write a comment and leave. Clearly you have a lot of time on your hands. Do not waste mine.

Waste your time? No one asked you to read my comment or reply. Plus, I watched the whole damn video and thats the only point she made. Maybe you should re watch

Yes I mostly felt this idea in the works of Virginia Woolf, ( she portrayed her life in her works how her doctors failed to understand and cure her mental health)however it's hard for doctors to get trained in both literary and doctoral analysis simultaneously.

This is nothing new. In India, the first thing they teach when we enter clinical years is to take patients history. My prof always insisted that patient history (story) alone can help in speculating the diagnosis 70% of times!

Aaah yes, applying deconstruction to the story of the cancer patient is just the right path towards curing cancer. Try visiting a third world country hospital once.
