  4. “The problem with communication is the illusion that it has taken place.” George Bernard Shaw

  5. Language Creates Meaning • A Medical History is expressed in Language • Illness separates us from the normal flow of life and requires new stories • The story emerges in the dialogue and interaction between patient and physician (words and gesture). • Training in reading Literature allows for broader diagnostic possibilities
