Examine the tension between knowing a body through massification, and knowing an individual body through empathy. Address the question, how do you, as a future healthcare professional, intend to navigate this problem?
The core idea this question poses are the notions of 'massification', 'empathy' and 'the healthcare profession'. Let us begin by discussing 'massification' which refers to universalizing something (such as healthcare) for the masses. We must see 'massification' in the context of healthcare as a exercise in objectivity, to create universally a valid method/procedure of treating all patients. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual is a good example in psychology of 'massification'. This manual sets out universally valid principles which any healthcare professional across the world can use while dealing with patients.
