Art as Medicine

Studio 360 | May 15, 2012

Art is changing medicine. Music helps patients recover in a burn unit and medical students learn how honing their narrative skills will make them better doctors. Kurt Andersen talks with the writer Chris Adrian about how his day job as a children’s cancer doctor finds its way into his novels. And an ER doc reveals which hospital television show tells it like it is. (Originally aired: December 10, 2010)
