Doctors lack empathy,
med school to blame
Cheryl Stone
NEWS EDITOR
A recent study found doctors lack
empathetic responses to patients, in
part because medical schools don’t
teach doctors how to respond to
patients in caring ways.
The study, conducted at the Uni-
versity of Toronto, explained oncol-
ogists responded to patients with
empathy — the ability to acknowl-
edge and understand another’s

the time.

teaching the empathic response in
medical school,” the study explained.
It was also noted other works had
discovered empathy was a teachable
skill in medical schools.
According to Terri Paul, course
chair for the patient-centred clinical
methods course at Western’s
Schulich School of Medicine and
Dentistry, the course has been taught
for over 10 years.
“[This] is where we teach the stu-
dents not only how to do the physi-
cal exam skills, but we also focus a
lot on the communication skills,”
Paul explained.
The course brings in trained indi-
viduals to be patients for the doc-
tors-in-training. These patients are
encouraged to give feedback to their
doctors in order to improve their
communication skills.
“Part of what we talk about
when we talk about empathizing
and being a good physician is being
able to listen and hear what the
patient is saying.”
Amanda Wilhelm, a first-year
medical student, noted in her pre-
admissions interview she was
asked to respond to patients
empathetically.
She also explained even some of
her most stubborn classmates had
better patient approaches because
of the course.
“You kind of have to in order to
even pass the courses,” she
explained. “I think it’s fairly effective.”

practice time.”
Learning how to break bad news
to patients and interview them
about their symptoms were two of
the highlights of the program, Paul
explained.
“One hundred per cent of stu-
dents really enjoy this course,
because it’s the way to learn proba-
bly the most important skill in med-
icine, in a very non-threatening
environment.”
Good communication did not
just benefit the patient being treat-
ed, Paul said.
“We know as physicians, when
we look at down the road, issues
with malpractice suits and that kind
of thing, 90 per cent of those are
just caused by lack of good com-
munication.”

Western’s overstocked
supplies find new life
Better too much than too little.
That’s the sentiment at Western
when it comes to having enough
supplies on hand when faced with
the threat of a flu pandemic.
In response to various flu scares,
Western installed nearly 400 hand
sanitizers and stocked up on sup-
plies last year.
With an expiration date of May
2012, it became clear the University
had stocked too much sanitizer.
“There was no way we were
going to be able to use this much
product,” explained Elgin Austen,
director of Campus Community
Police Services for Western.
Western considered donating the
supplies to the Red Cross for Haiti
relief, but discovered it would not be
possible
“We started looking at those in
Ontario who we could potentially
help. The aboriginal communities
tend to be under-resourced and we
were eventually able to make con-
tact [with them] through the polic-
ing division of the OPP,” he said.
Along with the sanitizer, masks
and latex gloves are currently being
distributed to as many as 50 poten-
tial First Nations communities
throughout the province.
Austen said besides a sigh of
relief over unrealized flu epidemics,
there are benefits to stocking up on
supplies for health and hygiene.
“I think there’s going to be lots of
benefits. For the communities them-
selves with the lack of resources and
the current hygiene, they’ll really
profit from it.”

USC Elections: We can only go up from here
Zwellin’ it
like it is
Arden Zwelling
ASSOCIATE EDITOR
wgaz.ca/blogthevote
As far as bad omens go, the fact
ElectionsNet refused to work at
Monday night’s all candidates meet-
ing is up there.
You could argue it’s important to
have the main web portal for infor-
mation on the University Students’
Council election functioning on the
eve of the campaign. But then again,
it seems like this won’t be your ordi-
nary race.
Thus, “we can only go up from
here” is the official motto as the 2011
campaign season opens today
across campus.
The list of candidates that
dropped out of the presidential race
is much longer than the list of those
who stuck it out, but we’ve arrived
at three men who genuinely want
the job: David Basu Roy, Andrew
Forgione and Omid Salari.
Forgione enters the race with
plenty of council support and the
school’s largest faculty behind him.
He’s a polished candidate and
should run a well-organized cam-
paign, featuring an everything-for-
everyone platform that’s sure to
have wide appeal.
“I think my platform is going to
make students’ lives a lot more con-
venient. There’s a lot of small things
that will benefit students in big
ways,” Forgione said. “[The plat-
form] is trying to hit up a lot of areas
so that students are happy in gen-
eral.”
But being too polished could
also hinder Forgione. His competi-
tors have distinct identities that
can’t help but shine through with
every syllable that passes through
their lips. Forgione comes off as a
bit more robotic — something that
Solution to puzzle on page 7
could alienate voters.
Of course, recent history is on
his side, with Stephen Lecce and
Emily Rowe — two of the most pol-
ished personalities the USC has ever
seen — both winning campaigns in
recent years. And Forgione main-
tains what you see is what you get.
“Individuals who are going to
meet me are just going to meet
Andrew. I’m not trying to put on a
face,” said Forgione, who worked on
Rowe’s campaign. “It’s a big thing
I’m trying to do this year — just to be
genuine with everyone.”
On the other hand, Basu Roy
comes in with little USC experience.
But the fifth-year engineering major
is undeniably bright and can be
counted on to present some sound,
innovative ideas from a non-USC
perspective.
“I’m not foreign to how the poli-
cy works around here,” Basu Roy
said. “I look at the USC and its poli-
cies from a very objective viewpoint
compared to people who have been
involved with it for a few years.”
Environmentalism will surely be
a consistent theme in Basu Roy’s
platform — the Toronto native spe-
cializes in green engineering and
renewable energy — but he will have
to be careful not to let it overtake his
campaign.
Recent campaigns have proven
the environmental angle just does-
n’t play on this campus, where stu-
dents line up for 20 minutes for a
non-biodegradable cup of Tim Hor-
ton’s sludge and drive to school
from just outside the Richmond
gates.
To his credit, Basu Roy ensured
environmentalism wouldn’t define
him.
“I do have some initiatives that
are definitely environmentally
focused,” Basu Roy admitted. “But I
want to talk about why it might be
important to be environmentally
sustainable and then figure out
what students want to do with it —
not tell them what I think we should
do with it.”
But the most interesting cam-

Kingfisher Days is light and nostalgic
Mark Filipowich
GAZETTE STAFF
A kingfisher is a bird that nests on a
body of freshwater during the winter
and, according to folklore, will stop
all winter storms as its eggs hatch.
Kingfisher Days, performed at the
Grand Theatre, is a play about stop-
ping time, for just a little while, to
celebrate life and youth, or to reflect
on age and experience.
The play focuses on how people
from varying age groups experience
time. Written by Gemini award-
winning author and television
writer Susan Coyne, the play is
based off her bestselling memoir of
the same title.
Kingfisher Days follows the
author — as an adult and mother —
reflecting on her own childhood
experiences in Northern Ontario in
the summer of 1963.
Susan, a self-professed “unreli-
able narrator,” shows the audience
her four-year-old self and her inter-
actions with her parents and neigh-
bour Mr. Moir, a retired teacher in his
seventies. While on her way to visit
her neighbour early in the summer,
Susan stumbles across an old stone
fireplace and finds a letter from a
Peruvian fairy princess. The rest of
the play follows her correspondence
with Nootsie Tah, the fairy princess,
mediated by Mr. Moir.
Only six characters have on-
stage roles. Deborah Hay plays
Susan both as an adult and as a
child. Hay manages the challenge of
crossing the 30-year boundary
between her characters quite well.
As a child she has the frankness and
fascination of a toddler and, in this
role, steals most of the show.
Gemini award-winning Nigel
Bennet plays Susan’s absent-mind-
ed father as well as the kindly and
contemplative Mr. Moir. Bennett’s
ability to shift between the two roles
is impressive, as is his change in
demeanour and voice as the years
between the two characters surface.
Finally, Burgandy Code plays the
fairy princess Nootsie Tah and
Susan’s mother. Code also puts on a
strong performance, but is given less
freedom to explore the stage than
her colleagues, so by the end of the
FILE PHOTO
play she doesn’t leave as lasting of
an impression.
Like the cast, the set design is
minimal, with a pair of trees and
some deck furniture framing the
audience’s imagination. Even props
are mostly mimed. Most of the per-
formance’s life comes from the
actors and some well-timed music
and sound effects. However, more
detail to the set could have added
character to the play, especially dur-
ing scenes that involved the lake, but

Frozen Over Tour,” country-music
star Brad Paisley quickly heated up
the John Labatt Centre as he played
for a full house Thursday evening.
Opening for Paisley was Darius
Rucker of Hootie and the Blowfish
fame. The solo singer played a
lengthy set and got the crowd
pumped up with new singles as well
as a few Hootie classics like “Let Her
Cry” and “Only Wanna Be With You.”
The crowd seemed thrilled to
hear Rucker perform, but doubled in
excitement when Paisley finally
appeared on stage in front of an
awardseason
The King’s Speech took honours Sunday night at the 17th annual
Screen Actors Guild awards. The film took home the award for
Outstanding Ensemble and Colin Firth received the award for
Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Leading Role.
the performers manage well with
what they’re given.
Kingfisher Days is solidly written
and entertaining from start to fin-
ish. The play is at its best when it is
most whimsical — scenes that allow
four-year-old Susan’s imagination
to flourish are extremely enjoyable,
and adult Susan’s interruptions to
share trivia or tangential informa-
tion are also a treat. Even when the
play approaches the sombre ele-
ments of time, change and aging,
elaborate jumbo screen.
Paisley opened with the tour-
theme-inspiring “Water” and kicked
off a solid two-hour set list, includ-
ing a mix of high-energy hits with a
few slow ballads. The songs came
mostly from his recent work, but
Paisley also tossed the occasional
classic into the mix.
The crowd alternated between
eagerly screaming out their
favourite lyrics and taking in the
slower parts of the performance qui-
etly. Some audience members even
took the opportunity to slow dance.
Though he kept dialogue with the
audience to a minimum, preferring
to show off his impressive vocal and
guitar prowess, Paisley spent a lot of
time moving around the different
arms of the set to interact with the
entire audience. He eventually made
his way into the crowd by walking
onto a separate platform that
extended into the audience, singing
a few songs to the fans in the seats
he claimed were the only ones he
could afford when attending coun-
try shows growing up.
Before returning to the main

the play’s tone remains light and
nostalgic.
Kingfisher Days’ pace skips briskly
through each scene, accomplishing
exactly what the prologue promises.
Even if the stage feels bare at times,
it is acted, written and directed well
enough to entertain.
Kingfisher Days is playing at the
Grand Theatre until Feb. 5. Tickets are
available at www.grandtheatre.com.
stage, Paisley made his way through
the crowd on the floor while playing
an extra-long guitar solo for “Mud
on the Tires,” which allowed fans to
get up close and personal with his
performance.
Paisley alternated between a
series of guitars, occasionally opting
to sing hands-free, allowing his band
members to take a stronger role in
the performance.
Breaking at one point for an
instrumental interlude, Paisley
allowed each of his band members
to shine, particularly when he
engaged in a duel with his fiddler,
Justin Williamson. The crowd
responded with heightened enthusi-
asm for the rest of the set.
After a standing ovation, Pais-
ley returned on stage with his
opening acts for a double encore
that included fan favourites,
“Ticks” and “Alcohol.” He finished
by tossing his hat to one young
fan in the audience, who snatched
a hold of it eagerly, and crossing
to each corner of the stage thank-
ing his fans.

“Buy Nothing Day” — “Fuckin’ Perfect” — Pink

The Go! Team ft. Best Coast
British indie-rock garage band The
Go! Team are back with their third,
and possibly last, album Rolling
Blackout. With help from Californian
lo-fi queen Beth Cosentino of the
band Best Coast, “Buy Nothing Day”
is just as catchy and upbeat as any
vintage Go! Team track.
Pink is at it again with another blunt
song called “Fuckin’ Perfect.” Fol-

received single “Raise Your Glass,”
“Fuckin’ Perfect” deals with issues of
teenage suicide and depression.
