"Science teaches us that pathologies can be predicted from unique characteristics. As physicians, we use science to detect, decode and treat these illnesses. But where science fails is in its inability to see patients as more than the sum of their individual variables. All doctors use the humanities in order to understand patients’ stories. The best, however, go further in their exploration of the patients’ narrative in order to allow them to become more than their disease.
​

But, like any good artist, much of this labour is either hidden or unseen. I hope that this blog can be an avenue where the importance of the humanities in medicine - even those acts and thoughts which might be mundane or commonplace - are recognized and celebrated."

    Inspired by Brandon Stanton’s Humans of New York, this section will contain mainly photography of individuals from the University of Ottawa and a corresponding narrative that gives us a glimpse into their lives.
