Programme Details:
In this session, Danielle Lim (author), Trician Tan (poet and junior doctor), and David Wong (poet), will discuss their work and writing practices in relation to the themes of medicine, health, and sickness. The writers will introduce their work to the audience, speaking on how their knowledge and experiences with medicine have shaped their writing, and vice-versa, how writing about the experience of sickness and thinking imaginatively about the lives of patients and their families has influenced their relationship to medicine and the practice of medicine. The session will also add a Singaporean context to the themes of health & sickness and illness narratives within the medical humanities.
