AMA J Ethics. 2020 May 1;22(5):E437-438. doi: 10.1001/amajethics.2020.437.

Abstract

Sir Luke Fildes' The Doctor, exhibited in 1891, is a classic work, celebrated for presenting a physician's posture, presence, and concentration before a patient. This reimagination of Fildes' work responds to modern demands on the patient-clinician relationship while suggesting the persistence of this relationship's sanctity.
