Today’s episode features a very special guest (and professional colleague via phone call), Dr. Richard “Bruce” Kelly MD. Dr. Daniel Hey talks with Dr. Kelly about the importance and significance of the humanities in medicine and the problem of the humanities fading away within modern medicine. Dr. Hey and Dr. Kelly revel and share in their mutual appreciation for Dr. William Osler and his deep care for the individual as opposed to the disease affecting the individual. Dr. Kelly shares this quote from his article published in 1978, “One needs a medicine that puts the person, and all his wholeness, in the center of the stage and does not separate the disease from the man or the man from his environment, a medicine that makes technology firmly subservient to human values.”
