Many people are aware a physician needs medical skills and knowledge to treat a patient effectively.
Not all are aware, however, that humane treatment of a patient is also a necessary skill to bring about good results. Without this cooperation much of the curative powers of a medical treatment is lost. Students learn medical skills from medical schools and hospital residencies. They learn the humane treatment of patients from the humanities and human experiences. Traditionally, the primary sources of the humanities have been history, literature, philosophy and theology .
