Word Power: Whooshing, Newt Nacks, and the
Art of Communication with Patients 

Utilizing stories from clinical practice and my daughter’s own hearing journey, we will explore the power of words and what it means to truly listen. We will delve into the role that stories play in medicine, acknowledging both their utility and limitations. Finally, we will examine why doctors write, investigating links between writing and medicine and the connection between creativity and wellness.

This lecture is open to the public and will be held in the Searle Seminar Room in the Lurie Research Building (303 E Superior), Chicago Campus. For those outside the Chicago area and anyone who would prefer to attend remotely, a Zoom option is also available.
