Musings From Medicine
A conversation with Dr. Mark Murphy
In the nineteenth century, Anton Chekhov (perhaps a tad boorishly) called medicine his “lawful wife” and literature his “mistress.” In the course of human history, there has been a long tradition of the “physician writer”— from Ctesias, Avicenna, and Maimonides to Arthur Conan Doyle, Oliver Wendell Holmes Sr., and Walker Percy. Savannah has its very own with Dr. Mark Murphy, who joins Leigh this week to discuss the role of a physician writer in relation to medicine, democracy, and healing.
