\"\"In today’s podcast, EIC Brandy Schillace and Dr. Sara Wasson<\/a> of Lancaster University discuss the medical humanities as a way of “interrogating medicine.” So often, the humanities (literature, history, anthropology, social science, arts and more) are treated as add-ons, or “soft” skills merely engaged to make the practice of medicine more empathetic or, in the case of stressful medical education, more bearable. Instead, however, these disciplines provide a necessary criticism of medical systems and of practice and process. In fact, Dr. Wasson argues that literary scholarship and criticism can be absolutely core to engaging something like pain<\/em>. She speaks to her work in 2018 for MH’s special issue on Pain and its Paradoxes<\/a>, providing the ways in which humanities do more than offer an extension of a medical gaze. Instead, it offers enlightenment to the narratives of pain, as of any human experience. This deep engagement can move beyond the medical sphere and into the public arena.
