| Abstract: | This essay will detail some specific and important medical characters in mainstream literature, expanding on the title of this essay: ‘[w]e have not lost faith, but we have transferred it from God to the medical profession’, as well as a reading of a textbook that specifically details the topic. This is, perforce, a superficial appraisal as the material has been extensively and broadly reviewed in journals such as Literature and Medicine and Medical Humanities which are devoted to exploring interfaces between literary and medical knowledge. Some excellent books have also focused on this topic, such as Norman Cousin’s The Physician in Literature (1982), and we will now review this text in some detail. |
