Corresponding about Death: Analyzing Letters Exchanged between Patients with Cancer and Medical Students
AbstractMedical students lack opportunities to have authentic conversations with patients with cancer in busy hospitals.

The complex narrative of Amitav Ghosh ’sThe Calcutta Chromosome, both historical and speculative, demonstrates how medicine has come to value particular kinds of advances over others, prompting readers to question who controls access to resources and at what cost to global populations. In Ghosh ’s imagined world, scientific discovery is evaluated and rewarded—and ultimately deemed necessary—for its ability...
