11. Afflicted
How Vulnerability Can Heal Medical Education and Practice
In the insightful and thought-provoking book, Afflicted: How Vulnerability Can Heal Medical Education and Practice, author Nicole Piemonte delves into the pressing issue of how medical education and practice can move beyond a narrow focus on biological intervention, towards a more holistic understanding of patient suffering.
Piemonte uncovers the preoccupation in medicine with cure over care and argues that the traditional focus on biological intervention keeps medicine from addressing the complex realities of patient experiences. She examines the lack of compassion and empathy in medical practice and explores the deeper philosophical, psychological, and ontological reasons for it.
Piemonte fills the gap in understanding why clinicians and medical trainees often evade issues of vulnerability and mortality, offering patients compromised care. Through a philosophical analysis of the patient-practitioner encounter, she demonstrates how the doctor, in escaping from authentic engagement with a suffering patient, in fact "escapes from herself. "
Afflicted provides a comprehensive exploration of the epistemology and pedagogy of medicine, considering the focus on calculative or technical thinking and examining how "clinical detachment" diminishes physicians. Piemonte offers suggestions for educators to cultivate the capacity for authentic patient care and proposes specific curricular changes to help students expand their moral imaginations.
With 299 pages, Afflicted is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the limitations of contemporary medical education and practice and how we can work towards a more compassionate and empathetic approach to patient care.
