metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The article shows the unique historical and cultural phenomenon known as the ‘writing doctor’
  based on evidence from several works of two authors M. A. Bulgakov and P. Strauss. The
  aim of this article is to investigate the writing doctors’ “drama of life.” The research objective
  is to discuss their inner world through the discourse of pathography, to demonstrate their
  philosophy of life as a view of the medical profession, conceptions of ‘pain, suffering, and
  loneliness’ by means of literary techniques. The flagship approach is the typological comparison
  of philosophical views and means of expression of ideas. The authors’ article shows that
  their oeuvre is an interdisciplinary phenomenon for medicine and literature. Medicine served
  as a launch pad for authors and then, because in their works they wrote about their medical
  practice, continuous communication with patients and colleagues and their inner emotion.
  Bulgakov and Strauss lived, worked and wrote at the same time. However their destiny was different. Bulgakov left Medicine and devoted his entire life to literature, but Strauss continued
  to be a ‘writing doctor’ for the rest of his life. Strauss was able to formulate in his monographs
  his conception of philosophy about “the good doctor.” Their careers as writers and doctors
  were marked by political and social changes in both countries, which had a serious effect on
  their worldview. Both of them asserted freedom of speech and their choice of career as writers
  and concerned citizens.
