Medical Humanities Course Presentation– Üsküdar Tıp Health, Medicine and Music Prof. Dr. Haydar Sur 1. Part – Medical Practice Haydar Sur Presentation 2 Today's medicine is not the old medicine ◼ Everything, but everything about health is changing ❑ The society that will receive service from us ❑ Health technologies ❑ Health services ❑ Health systems and policies ❑ Health professions ❑ Health philosophy and expectations In these circumstances, the medical it was unthinkable to stay the same Haydar Sur Presentation 3 Some mistakes doctors frequently make ◼ Believing that the ropes of everybody’s health are in his hands, and then becomes disappointed as he loses this belief ◼ Trying to suppress disappointment via some hobbies, entertainment, gambling, heavily alcohol drinking, etc. ◼ Ignoring other health professions and not being able to be a team member among his colleagues, getting into the mood of a life-saving hero alone Haydar Sur Presentation 4 3 dangers for the doctor in our times ◼ Mechanization - doing everything according to standards, not thinking outside of it and withdrawing into one's Shell ◼ Being a slave to his medicine branch –missing the whole (not limitted with missing the holistic medicine, goes to missing the wide view of life) ◼ Medicalization of life – linking everything with medicine and health and creating the pressure of medicine on individuals Haydar Sur Presentation 5 Who is the physician – what is it? ◼ The physician is not only a technician but also an esthetician, a person who does his job through his emotional perception ◼ Intelligence Quotient (IQ) is a must, but not sufficient, in order to acquire complete knowledge in medicine. Everyone we can call a good doctor has a very high Emotional Quotient (EQ) as well ◼ Many physicians have calmed themselves by directly choosing to become artists ◼ In previous centuries, art, philosophy and science could be brought in a single pot, the scholar should have benefited from all of them, cumulation was low ◼ (İbn-i Sina, Farabi, Leonardo, Michelangelo… all had broad knowledge from all sciences and arts Haydar Sur Presentation 6 Then it became necessary to make choice ◼ Those who preferred medical science fell into burnout from dealing with only health/illness/death concepts and related situations ◼ While looking for new ways to open this impasse, gardening, hundreds of types of sports, collecting, etc. they took up hobbies ◼ Dealing with one or more of the arts has also become one of the best solutions Art actually means, by using different materials and methods, dealing with the same thing (pursuing beauty) Haydar Sur Presentation 7 Mutual Relationship ◼ The profession of medicine with emotional states makes dealing with art superior to other hobbies, we solve our problem better with art ◼ Many medical philosophers say that medicine is also an art, the artistic side of a physician is quite dominant ◼ The opposite is also true, someone who says he is an artist.. the pain/joy/emotions of the woman giving birth, the death of a patient struggling with cancer, the secrets of a child's step-by-step growth… What kind of an artist without seeing these? Every artist has somehow a little medical philosophy Haydar Sur Presentation 8 Some Examples ◼ Dr. Anton Çekhov (writer of short stories, novels and plays) ◼ Dr. George Chicotot (painter) ◼ Dr. Arthur Conan Doyle (writer of Sherlock Holmes character) ◼ Dr. Laennec (flutist, inventor of the stethoscope) ◼ Dr. Theodor Billroth examiner of the works of his close friend Brahms, making some corrections) Haydar Sur Presentation 9 Haydar Sur Presentation 10 2. Part - Music Haydar Sur Presentation 11  What is Music? ◼ A kind of communication way with ourselves and others Haydar Sur Presentation 12 Music is the manifestation of the human spirit, similar to language. Its greatest practitioners have conveyed to mankind things not possible to say in any other language. If we do not want these things to remain dead treasures, we must do our utmost to make the greatest possible number of people understand their idiom. Zoltán Kodály Haydar Sur Presentation 13 Music - Definition ◼ Music, in its most general definition, is the state of the sound that has gained form and meaningful vibrations ◼ It is an artistic form in which sound and silence are expressed in a certain time period Haydar Sur Presentation 14 4 Elements of Music ◼ Pitch - how 'high' or 'low' a sound is ◼ Intensity - the loudness of a sound ◼ Duration - how long a sound lasts ◼ Tone - the color of a sound Haydar Sur Presentation 15 Music ◼ The art of expressing feelings and thoughts that cannot be explained with words with sounds ◼ (Musica)The -ike or -ika suffix at the end of the word meaning fairy, which is written with the letters m-o-u-s-a in the Greek alphabet, gives that word the meaning of spoken language; (Elenika (Greek), Turkika (Turkish) etc.) The -ike suffix added to Moses gives the meaning of the language of the fairies ◼ Music was later called the language of angels with the Islamic term in Turkish society. (Bezm-i Elest avazesi) Haydar Sur Presentation 16 Frame of Music ◼ The use and framework of music is broad, difficult to classify ◼ It can be used in many individual and social situations ❑ Individual - music can determine our mood and behavior ❑ Community - can facilitate the coordination of large numbers of people or enable a group to establish an identity and put a logo on it ◼ Musical behavior: our involvement in any form of listening and/or performance Haydar Sur Presentation 17 Why Do People Listen to Music? ✓Why do people listen to music? A few functions were stated as reasons within the last four-five decades ✓Scientific studies revealed different results and minds became blurred ✓Some 129 functions were written in a wide study in the USA and 834 persons were asked to list these according to the priority ✓They concluded that the functions of music can be classified into three main groups: 1. Regulating emotional state and meeting emotional needs 2. Realizing and reinforcing self-awareness 3. Expressing social belonging Haydar Sur Presentation 18 ◼ Individual functions outweigh the social (the media makes it seem as if social belonging is the only function) ◼ “Listening to music” is one of the most enigmatic human behaviors ◼ People spend as much energy, time and money as music for few things ◼ There are few elements that knead mainstream culture as much as music (maybe music is the most) Haydar Sur Presentation 19 A Classic: Merriam(1964) Anthropology of Music ◼ Merriam stands on use and function ◼ Use is the inclusion of music in human behaviors ◼ Function is why music is used in these movements and what music provides us with a broad perspective Haydar Sur Presentation 20 Merriam: 10 Functions of Music 1. Expression of emotional state 2. Aesthetic pleasure 3. Fun 4. Communication 5. Symbolic representation 6. Physical response 7. Posting to social norms 8. Increasing the value of social activities and religious rituals 9. Contribution to the balance and permanence of culture 10. Contribution to the cohesion of the society Haydar Sur Presentation 21 3. Part – Music and Human Health Haydar Sur Presentation 22 The human body/spirit and music fit together very well Haydar Sur Presentation 23 Our brain's response to music ◼ Right Hemisphere ❑ Activates when you hear sounds of different pitches and intensities ❑ It shines when playing music by ear, its performance increases ◼ Left Hemisphere ❑ When you learn and follow music notes left brain shines and increases its performance ❑ This hemisphere is well developed by analytical and mathematical functions ◼ So you train both halves by playing an instrument or singing Haydar Sur Presentation 24 Our Emotional Response to Music ◼ The limbic system is so powerful that you feel emotional the way you think ❑ Positive emotions – love, humor, compassion ◼ Helps access higher-order thinking and skills ❑ Negative Emotions – Hate, grudge, anger, fear ◼ Draws the brain to the level of basic survival motives ◼ Music can support the secretion of serotonin! Haydar Sur Presentation 25 Serotonin ◼ It is a neurotransmitter involved in the transmission of nerve impulses ◼ Releases when the brain is under the influence of positive stimuli and reduces tension Haydar Sur Presentation 26 Why is Music so Valuable? ◼ Complex mathematical sequences ❑ Patterns specific to rhythm and vibration, character contrasts of ups and downs, repetitions, harmony of sounds to theme and theme, etc. ❑ While listening to these rational compositions, it puts the brain in an environment that improves body and mind functions and releases serotonin ◼ Poetry and literature serve to convey emotion with a rational flow because they are constructed through words ◼ Music bypasses these mediators and enters directly into our emotions Haydar Sur Presentation 27 Haydar Sur Presentation 28 Results from Music Therapy Research – 7 Health Benefits of Music 1.
