Use the phrase protectively and reverently holding a light close to the chest.
There was like a golden age of diagnosis that has passed.
That was in the age when clinical times were like half an hour to an hour.
And the system itself was more run by MDs and less by MBAs.
This was a time
interestingly, that is when a lot of the visual arts and art museum humanities programs in medical education took a big jump.
It was right around the time when imaging technology started to explode and
medical teachers started to notice a decreased confidence of their residents and their students on the wards in terms of just physical exam and having the confidence to just look at patients.
That trend
called Training the Eye.
That was what the faculty who founded that program talked about.
Like, we need to do something because students aren't looking at patients anymore.
And let's look to the visual arts.
I kept hearing these conversations about uncertainty and the uncertainty in the art being authentic and the uncertainty in the clinic being very stressful and the students wanting more conversation and capacity around that.
I was really listening to what they were asking for.
And I was also very personally connecting it to my sister's misdiagnosis and people coming to conclusions way too early.
in uncertainty.
And so what I began aspiring for the students to do was what I now call look with uncertainty.
To not react to uncertainty or get defensive in it or sort of treat it like a place of shame, but rather to look with it.
Look with it like you would look at a work of art with a friend and lean into it as this space to drive learning, drive what we call forcing strategies or looking at something in a different way.
