NEWS ARTICLE Doctors Urge Acting Class In Med SchoolBy Tim Friend USA TODAY Doctors should take acting classes so they can at least pretend they're concerned about their patient's health, say two articles in The Lancet. Not to say doctors are cold, but the stress of medical practice sometimes spoils a compassionate mood. So knowing how to act a bit wouldn't hurt, suggest Drs. Hillel Finestone and David Conter of the University of Western Ontario. "We do not put forward the idea cynically," they say. Their concern: If a doctor doesn't have the skills "to assess a patient's emotional needs and to display clear and effective responses...the job is not done." They say acting classes should be required in medical school so doctors can learn just when to provide a perfectly timed compassionate look, or a touch on the hand. But which is better? Classical Laurence Olivier or method acting like Marlon Brando? The doctors hope "comparative testing in practice" will answer that question. An accompanying commentary in the British journal by Dr. Chris McManus of St. Mary's Hospital Medical School, London, says acting may ultimately save doctors at risk of professional burnout. Meanwhile, McManus writes, "the surgeons, hold center stage, acting out tantrums with thrown scalpels and cutting remarks."
