Abstract
With reference to imagery from Matthias Grünewald's masterpiece, the Isenheim Altarpiece, this essay considers how health-care practitioners especially- but all of us in practice-can learn to wonder in a way that does not objectify the differently abled but instead honors them. Wondering at the images in Grünewald's work requires humility, curiosity, patience, compassion, and grit-virtues that all health-care professionals would do well to cultivate.
期刊介绍：
Perspectives in Biology and Medicine, an interdisciplinary scholarly journal whose readers include biologists, physicians, students, and scholars, publishes essays that place important biological or medical subjects in broader scientific, social, or humanistic contexts. These essays span a wide range of subjects, from biomedical topics such as neurobiology, genetics, and evolution, to topics in ethics, history, philosophy, and medical education and practice. The editors encourage an informal style that has literary merit and that preserves the warmth, excitement, and color of the biological and medical sciences.
