Introduction: This week I share with you some brief writings from our recent spring department retreat. I was doing a workshop on how to use medical humanities in teaching and we did a practice example with participants. The prompt was: Write about a clinical encounter this past week using 6-word story or Haiku. Participants were also given the option to use a photograph that I projected as a prompt or to go rogue and write about whatever was on their mind. See the fun musings we came up with below. We decided that all of our writings would be anonymous. Enjoy.
