The essays for the Ascona Balint Award give a deep impression of
the students’ experiences, reflections and conclusions. And they
show an insight into medical education in different countries.
“Mr. Mikheil was not just another assignment for me anymore, not an
interview I had to ‘get over with’, he was a patient, a person, a
human, worthy of respect. […] He taught me that medicine is an
interplay of Expertise, Ethics and Empathy and as we are only
chasing the ‘Expertise’ in medical sciences, the ‘Ethics’ and
‘Empathy’ are just as valuable […]. As the interview ended, I
promised myself that I would learn the theories in lectures, and I
would learn the humanism by the bedside; and only by the
integration of the two will I be a humane healer.”
Jill Kar
“All of the above made me realize that people have the right to
life, but they also have the right to die. It may seem
counterintuitive to our fundamental duty as physicians to preserve
and protect life, and might raise ethical and moral issues, and
yet, one has autonomy over one’s own life. There’s no doubt that
the medical staff must offer the best patient care and do
everything in their power to provide support and maintain hope, but
the final decision is in the patient’s hands. It can be a patient
with aggressive cancer who refuses chemotherapy, for instance, or a
patient signing a DNR order. We need to discuss patients’
preferences and choices with them, make sure they understand all
their meanings and consequences, and if they do, we have no choice
but to respect their decision.”
Keren Meir
“I have come to appreciate that one of the joys of medical school
is that it provides a rich experiential milieu in which to learn
both the science and the art of medicine. […] It is often
unscheduled, unexpected encounters that can lead to the greatest
personal and professional growth; I can certainly attest that my
relationship with Ereuti taught me far more than any formal
teaching could. These moments can also be the most confronting and
the most challenging. […] Empowering students to draw on their
human skills, supporting them to make sense of and grow from
pivotal experiences, and facilitating the development of their
unique approaches to the student-patient relationship, along with
the confidence to adapt those approaches to the needs of different
patients, may be key features of effective medical training.”
