Many claims have been made over recent years for the use of poetry (and, more broadly, literature) in the curriculum of medical students. Most often, poetry is put forward as having the potential to humanize medicine by promoting, for example, empathy, ethical sensitivity, and an appreciation for diverging interpretations. While these endpoints are all important, this essay uses the experience of a junior doctor undertaking a degree in creative writing to consider how the poetic way of seeing and thinking differs from clinical thinking, and why that might matter. In particular, the author considers the importance in medicine of the capacity to not know, as well as the possibilities for a deeper understanding of patients offered by thinking in terms of poetic voice.
近年来，关于在医学生课程中使用诗歌（以及更广泛地说，文学作品）的说法众多。最常见的是，诗歌被认为有潜力通过促进同理心、道德敏感性以及对不同解读的欣赏等方式使医学更具人文关怀。虽然这些目标都很重要，但本文通过一位攻读创意写作学位的初级医生的经历，来探讨诗歌的观察和思考方式与临床思维有何不同，以及这为何重要。特别是，作者思考了医学中“不知”能力的重要性，以及从诗歌声音的角度思考能为更深入理解患者带来的可能性。
