Shame, Bowman argues, is often overlooked despite how fundamental it is to healthcare, and can lead to a range of sometimes debilitating mental illnesses, from stress, compassion fatigue, ethical erosion, burnout and ill-health. <em>Tiger Country<\/em> is well-positioned to explore the effects of shame on both the givers and receivers of healthcare, and as such it affords insight into the ways in which shame appears ubiquitous in healthcare institutions. In her audio introduction, Bowman describes in more detail why <em>Tiger Country<\/em> presents such a fascinating engagement with the issue of shame in healthcare settings.<\/p>\n<audio class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-1377-1\" preload=\"none\" style=\"width: 100%;\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"audio\/mpeg\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.bmj.com\/medical-humanities\/files\/2017\/11\/Deborah-Bowman-on-Shame-Stigma-and-Medicine.m4a?_=1\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.bmj.com\/medical-humanities\/files\/2017\/11\/Deborah-Bowman-on-Shame-Stigma-and-Medicine.m4a\">https:\/\/blogs.bmj.com\/medical-humanities\/files\/2017\/11\/Deborah-Bowman-on-Shame-Stigma-and-Medicine.m4a<\/a><\/audio>\n<p><em>Deborah Bowman is Professor of Medical Ethics at St. Georges University of London and a former editor of Medical Humanities.<\/em><!--TrendMD v2.4.8--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The current issue of Medical Humanities is guest-edited by Luna Dolezal and Barry Lyons and focuses on &#8216;Shame, Stigma and Medicine&#8217;.
