Beschreibungen/Notizen

• If doctors are to treat illness as successfully as they treat disease they have to enhance their medical experience with some understanding of the world in which they and their patients struggle to survive. Their need, O'Donnell suggests, is not "communication" but the empathy and understanding that he and fellow physicians shared with an audience during a dramatic reading of George Bernard Shaw's The Doctor's Dilemma.
