And, certainly, thats what a poem does,” he said.Rafael worries that something important has

11、 been lost in medicine and medical education today: humanity, which he finds in poetry.

38、know it, Ive told her the whole story I did not want her and the others to know.Is that really so? I ask myself. Dont I want to be known before I go?
