Can the “invisible wound” be real? In my latest work on medhum-2025-013623, I explore how media exposure produces bodily, emotional, and relational effects that cannot be reduced to mere representation. 🔗 doi.org/10.1136/medhum-2025-… Integrating neuroscience (embodied simulation), trauma clinical practice, and medical humanities means rethinking what we mean by experience, empathy, and suffering. #Trauma #Psychiatry #MedicalHumanities #Neuroscience #WalterPaganin #Sentieridicura

👉doi:10.1136/medhum-2025-013623 provides the full, detailed analysis of a new review essay in #MedHumanities by Walter Paganin, 'Core symptoms of #PTSD across four millennia,' revealing how a consistent universal response to extreme events persists across history and culture, regardless of whether we called it ancient Mesopotamian 'lamentations', 17th-century 'nostalgia', or World War I 'shell shock'. From 'moral blame' to a 'neurobiological framework', our understanding has evolved, but the suffering remains the same. Recognizing this deep history is a crucial step in reducing stigma and informing modern clinical practice. Wars and trauma are a transtemporal constant; it is only our conceptualization that has changed. #Trauma #HistoryOfPsychiatry #MentalHealth

BOOK REVIEW See One, Do One, Teach One: The Art of Becoming a Doctor by Grace Farris theintima.org/book-reviews-i… #narrativemedicine #medicalhumanities #medhum @GraphicMedicine @NarrativeMed

IT'S NATIONAL DOCTOR'S DAY TODAY MARCH 30TH #NationalDoctorsDay #AcademicMedicine #ThankADoctor We'd like to celebrate the amazing doctors who've honored us with their poems, fiction, essays & art. From our Spring 2024 issue: "The Weight of MD Motherhood" by Rabia Hakim, a board-certified pediatrician, a mother & an artist. Hakim "continuously notices the additional demands faced by women in healthcare." Her acrylic oil pastel painting portrays the mental load of mothers in medicine. We learned NDD "traces its roots to 1933, when Eudora Brown Almond, the wife of a physician, organized the first observance in Winder, Georgia." OUR NOTE: Leave it to a woman to get it done and create an empathy-focused national event. BRAVO.

I will be talking about Oliver Sacks in my MedHum class and I love his works. Somewhere between Irvin Yalom and Oliver Sacks lies my existential philosophy.

Errors are inevitable. How do we reinforce #professionalism while preserving #humility in #medicine? This A&A Practice piece reflects on taking "an ethical pause". Beautiful read. #MedHum #Humanism #Anesthesia buff.ly/OUg11wU

Medical humanities programs have the ability to attract diverse interest, unlocking non-verbal communication and tapping into the power of symbolism/metaphor, as well as opportunities for community-building. #MedHum #hapc capc.org/blog/how-to-integra…

Medical humanities initiatives have a unique fundraising advantage: they intrinsically engage in highly effective storytelling! #medhum #hapc #palliativecare capc.org/blog/how-to-integra…
