Day 2 of #BEDMED2025 began with grounding remarks from Abraham Verghese: "Story is as inherent in medicine as it is in raising our children." @bedsidemednu.bsky.social
Photo shows Verghese standing in front of a slide projected on the wall in a large lecture hall. The slide reads: "We as physicians: are always engaged in story; are catalysts, major characters in the drama, or have walk on parts; are often the spokesperson for the illness. Story is inherent in medicine.

It's a breath of fresh air to spend the day with a medical community dedicated to humanity and humility in medicine. #BEDMED2025 @bedsidemednu.bsky.social
Prof Andy Elder is speaking at a podium in a large lecture hall. There's a slide projected on the wall beside him that reads: "I don't know" is not an admission of ignorance. It's an expression of intellectual humility. "I was wrong" is not a confession of failure. It's a display of intellectual integrity. "I don't understand" is not a sign of stupidity. It's a catalyst for intellectual curiosity.
