Research Ideas for Lizzi

     The formatting is super weird for the hanging indent... I had a hard time figuring out how to make it look like a works cited page... haha. :) Here are five sources that I found for Lizzi's essay: 

      Timmermans, Stefan, and Hyeyoung Oh. “The Continued Social Transformation of the Medical           Profession”. Journal of Health and Social Behavior 51 (2010): S94–S106. Web. 

I thought this article would be a good place to start looking into the background behind Jason's career and how patient care wasn't often a priority to him... it might give some good insights as you're comparing the two different fields, too. 

    Balkrishnan, Rajesh et al.. “Trust and Satisfaction with Physicians, Insurers, and the Medical Profession”. Medical Care 41.9 (2003): 1058–1064. Web...
     
I also liked this article in respect to the behavior of doctors and medical professionals in the work place. I feel like achieving a good background knowledge of the more medical side of the play can definitely add to the depth of your essay. You don't even really need to use anything directly in your essay from these sources, but just knowing about some of this information can help you examine the world of poetry and medicine more objectively.

     Hulme, William E.. “The Problems of College Students”. Christian Education 34.1 (1951): 17–25. Web.

Even though this article is from the 1950's, I felt like it still had some interesting ideas that are prevalent even today. It talks about certain issues that college students face, something that could add to your second paragraph (in mentioning Vivian's college flashback). 

      Fagiano, Mark. “Pluralistic Conceptualizations of Empathy”. The Journal of Speculative Philosophy 30.1 (2016): 27–44. Web.

In regards to your third paragraph, this could be extremely helpful in analyzing Vivian and Jason's lack of emotional ties to others. 

            Dalrymple, Theodore. “Between the Lines: On the Detection of Fakes”. BMJ: British Medical Journal 334.7599 (2007): 905–905. Web.

           Raby, Philip. "Medical Classics: Wit". BMJ: British Medical Journal  334.7599 (2007): 905-905. Web. 

So this particular source is small in size... it's just a side article in the BMJ and so the sourcing is a little tricky. I went ahead and did two sources just in case it was harder to find... but really, this article was short, sweet and to the point. You could also look further into Raby's course that he teaches, but this article I felt like put a good point out about how uncomfortable medical students should feel as they watch "Wit." The play is used by medical professors to teach their students how NOT to treat their patients. This could add to your argument that Jason has time to change; by using the example of what happened to Vivian, his future (and the future of other medical students) can be far better.

Basically there are so many fun articles to research. I had a hard time stopping at just five.
