Thesis (Ph.D.)--Georgia State University, 1995.

Both individual doctors and medical schools are beginning to emphasize the importance of better communication between doctor and patient. One way of improving communication skills is to learn the language of medicine. But doctors and patients have two distinct discourses, characterized by more than just differences in vocabulary, and both must be studied within the context of an illness. Twentieth-century doctors' language is linear discourse and dates back to the seventeenth century, when it was referred to as masculine or public discourse. This language is concise, objective, with concrete nouns, data, numbers and measurements, and is limited to a specific disease. Twentieth-century patients' language is circular discourse, and in the eighteenth century was usually referred to as feminine or private. It is diffuse, subjective, full of imagery, metaphor and stories within stories, and rarely limited to just the disease. Both discourses are equally valid in describing illness. Throughout the eighteenth century doctors and male midwives used linear discourse, while patients and female midwives used circular discourse. The differences in these illness narratives are a basis for a course in medicine and literature; such a study of illness narratives or stories could help pre-medical students or medical students to better understand patients' stories of disease.Subjects--Topical Terms:
