Arts in medicine

Abstract EN

This paper examines the relevance of arts like literature and music with medicine.

It studies how physicians are interested in reading and listening to music or literature and enjoy their time at doing their clinical processes.

The paper also shows that literature in all its forms( drama, novel, short stories, poetry…etc) has a complex relationship with medicine as a science and as a practical activity.

They are two human areas that have been actively developed in the end of the last century.

It highlights how humanities in medical education particularly neurosurgery have discussed lots in some of the European conferences.

The participants and scholars have been emphasized on the significant role and creativity of surgeons in the technological advances in understanding the human brain and the production and development of the creative brain.
