Abstract:
General practitioners frequently encounter uncertainties, making it an urgent issue to address. Recently, there has been growing attention to the concept of negative capability, which is the ability to remain in a state of uncertainty, mystery, and doubt without feeling a need to search for facts or apply reason. The Negative Capability Conference aims to encourage general practioner to recognize and accept uncertainty, acknowledging the various emotions involved in the process.
