The University of Missouri is taking action to help with a play called “Breast Cancer Dialogues.”
“Are you still sore ((angry))?”
“Not at you.”
One goal is to help medical students, doctors and their aides be more open to the needs of their patients.
“Where are you going?”
“I have to go to work.”
“Well I wasn’t out eating tea and crumpets.”
The play is based on real life experiences. Dr. James Campbell says letting students act through the sometimes harsh reality does make a difference.
“When students are first starting out as future physicians, they learn that it's important to establish a relationship and rapport with their patient and to be able to communicate effectively.”
Just as important as the script is the fact that theater-goers can rewrite it to enable a more caring interaction between patient and doctor. Rachel Baur coordinates the productions.
“That’s one of the things we do with interactive theatre, is when they ((the audience)) see something they don’t like, they yell ‘stop!’ And we stop the scene, and then they can intervene, and that is where we get the most feedback from audiences of saying ‘no, that can’t happen. I won’t let this happen to this patient.’”
“Your chances of survival are much better than they would have been 20 years ago. Why, back then you would have been a goner.”
