A State of Grace
Convivial Populations
Ivan Illich (1926–2002) was a historian, social critic, and professor at multiple universities. He came to intellectual fame through his criticisms of modern institutions, including health care, and his concern with social structures that he believed to impede human flourishing. However, Illich has not been thoroughly explored as a source of insight for public health professionals. Although he populates the medical and public health literature, d…

Medicine in Between
Distance, Proximity, and Student Mental Health in the Covid-19 Era
I had many expectations coming into medical school, but none of them included a global pandemic; me going to therapy; or me, in the middle of a pandemic, going to therapy, standing in the middle of a one-person private restroom on campus, balancing my computer—and with it, my therapist—on top of a paper towel dispenser. Medical education has its surprises, I suppose. To begin at the beginning: At some point in the early-to-middle months of my fir…
Daca and the White Coat
Standing on the steps of the Memorial Church on the Harvard University campus, listening to impassioned speeches by professors, custodians, and students, I took a moment to consider my white coat. How interesting that coat seemed now that my classmates and I—normally far off on the medical campus, absorbed in a veritable ocean of other white coats—were standing in solidarity with, yet distinguishable from, the students and faculty around us. How …
Silence and Humility
Chief complaint. History of present illness. That was it. I had been a bit nervous, 30 minutes into our Practice of Medicine course, after realizing that I would be seeing patients just weeks after receiving my white coat. At first, I had attempted to quell this nervousness by focusing on the low stakes. But, owing to my therapeutic contributions (or lack thereof), I then faced an even more unsettling conundrum while approaching my patient’s door…
High Stakes, Serious Noticing
Behind the immediate pathophysiology of a medical condition often lies the emotional turmoil of an uncertain patient. As a result, many patients suffer from distressing thoughts and emotions, and their caregivers play an important role in comforting them. But to comfort a patient one must first have some framework to understand thoughts, emotions, and the relationship between the two. In this piece, the author draws from a collection of essays, S…
