Abstract:
The root of medicine and art lies in the maintenance and expression of life.Medicine focuses on diseases and health,while art expresses the emotions of life.The interweaving of medical practice and art in history,such as ancient Greek medical experts understanding anatomy through art,and Leonardo da Vinci being a model of the combination of medicine and art.Their interdisciplinary thinking has provided important inspiration for medical innovation,such as Nobel laureates being inspired by art in their research and driving scientific breakthroughs.Art therapy is gradually integrating into modern medicine,using methods such as music and painting to help patients alleviate psychological problems.Medicine should not be limited to the imparting of technology and knowledge,but should also focus on the humanistic literacy,emotional understanding,and teamwork ability of doctors,truly achieving the ideal of"The Caring Heart of a Physician".In future medical practice,we look forward to seeing more doctors with artistic literacy who can not only treat diseases,but also bring warmth and care to patients,achieving a perfect combination of humanistic care and scientific technology in medicine,thereby improving doctor-patient relationships and medical quality.
