Abstract
Most discussions of the medical humanities focus either on the way medicine is represented in the arts or on how the arts can foster empathy. In this presentation, Chambers argues that viewing the humanities as "equipment for living" provides a powerful alternative for understanding how the arts can furnish patients and health care professionals with ways to encompass, understand, and respond to commonly experienced situations in health care.
