The works of art created by doctors bore the imprint of a professional view of the body and soul of a human being, saturated the texts with medical realities and terms, which gave reason to talk about the medical text in Russian literature. At the same time, the erudition of doctors and scientists allowed them to use examples from fiction in their scientific papers, thus giving rise to a literary text in medicine. Literary and medical discourses interacted in works on the study of higher nervous activity, in psychiatry and psychology. Since the last quarter of the 20th century, the study of fiction has been regarded as an obligatory part of the academic discipline “Medical Humanities”. In the universities of the Russian Federation and abroad, special manuals and readers were created, which were based on fiction written by trained doctors such as A. P. Chekhov, M. A. Bulgakov, V. V. Veresaev, and also those writers who described complex physiological processes and conditions without special medical training – L. N. Tolstoy, F. M. Dostoevsky, A. I. Kuprin, A. I. Solzhenitsyn and others. The study of the elements of the poetics of a literary text, its plot, metaphors and symbols began to be used in the training of doctors in the course of narrative medicine. The article concludes the growing interpenetration and mutual influence of literary and medical discourses. In the first quarter of the 21st century, Russian literature turned out to be an indispensable resource for countering the dehumanization and commercialization of medicine, as well as preserve empathy and philanthropy in future doctors.","PeriodicalId":187515,"journal":{"name":"Culture and Text","volume":"221 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115993290","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
