Maria Nadotti"Un uomo fortunato"Storia di un medico di campagnaJohn Berger, Jean MohrPrefazione di Vittorio LingiardiIl Saggiatorehttps://ilsaggiatore.comUn uomo fortunato è una riflessione in parole e immagini sui rapporti tra l'individuo e la comunità che lo circonda. È un ritratto, allo stesso tempo poetico e sociologico, della dimensione più umana del lavoro del medico e di cosa significhi appartenere a una collettività e mettersi al suo servizio.Nel 1966 John Berger e il fotografo Jean Mohr seguono per tre mesi l'attività del medico di campagna John Sassall, documentandone la vita, le abitudini e gli incontri. Sassall vive nella foresta di Dean, in Inghilterra, tra i suoi pazienti, e ogni giorno si muove all'interno del territorio rurale per curare i malati, gli anziani e le persone sole. Ciò che affascina Berger e Mohr è che Sassall non si limita a prescrivere medicine, ma per la gente del luogo è anche un confidente, un depositario di ricordi. È preciso, attento e premuroso. Prima di fare un'iniezione pronuncia frasi rassicuranti. In inverno, quindici minuti prima di visitare un paziente, accende la termocoperta così da non fargli sentire freddo. È presente a tutte le nascite e a tutte le morti. In ogni situazione riconosce l'istante in cui può fare la differenza, ma conosce anche i propri limiti, come persona e come medico.Arricchita da una prefazione di Vittorio Lingiardi e da una introduzione di Iona Heath, quest'opera, finora inedita in Italia, ci rivela con grande delicatezza come ogni territorio, se guardato o osservato a distanza, sia ingannevole. Esso è infatti, innanzitutto, la rete disegnata dai gesti e dai pensieri dei suoi abitanti, dalle loro lotte, conquiste e sventure.La vita e le giornate di un medico di campagna inglese raccontate dalle parole e dalle immagini di John Berger e Jean Mohr: una riflessione commovente sui rapporti tra individuo e comunità.«È uno dei miei libri preferiti al mondo, una continua ispirazione su come i libri dovrebbero essere scritti (e la fotografia utilizzata).» Alain de BottonEdizione italiana a cura di Maria NadottiPrefazione di Vittorio LingiardiJohn Berger (Londra, 1926 - Parigi, 2017) è stato giornalista, pittore, critico d'arte e scrittore.

Raymond Tallis is a philosopher, poet, novelist, cultural critic and a retired medical physician and clinical neuroscientist. Iona Heath was president of the Royal College of General Practitioners (RCGP) from 2009–2012.

This week a very different kind of conversation on the Recommended Dose – one that considers the art of medicine more than the science. Iona Heath is a long-time family doctor who has worked in a London GP clinic for over 30 years, and at one time became President of the Royal College of General Practitioners. With an international profile, gained in part through her much-loved writing in the BMJ, Iona is unlike many of our previous guests. For a start, she loves words more than numbers, and literature more than clinical guidelines. Host Ray Moynihan caught up with Iona at a recent conference in Helsinki – where she'd just presented little data but much food for thought from the likes of novelists EM Forster and James Baldwin. Here, she shares more of her love of literature and thoughtful commitment to the best kind of patient care.

Panel discussion with audience Q&A on the topic of Wiser Healthcare We all want to be able to get good healthcare when we need it. But what would it mean to provide and consume healthcare wisely? This panel discussion with Dr Iona Heath considers a radical idea: that sometimes wiser healthcare means less healthcare. Or at least, less healthcare for people who don’t need it, so we can give more healthcare to people who do.

Medicine Unboxed 2015 MORTALITY looked at life and death and the lines that separate them. We will marvel at how molecules are arranged into life and examine other beginnings and endings, of the universe and how all nature folds and unfolds in time. We will wonder about time. We will hear the sounds of loss and grief and recovery and how death is felt in war, in hospital, in our homes and fields. We will see medicine’s hand raised against death and suffering and explore its duties to the living and dying. We will ask what a life costs and what it is worth. We will look at social and cultural differences in the experience of death, how immortality is conceived in mythology and sought in technology, our pursuit of the afterlife, and how fact and imagination meet in our encounter with death.
