Gastroenterology, hepatology and movies: A holistic insight

Core Tip

Core tip: The Project “Movies and Health in Night talks”, conceived and produced through the chisel of a Gastroenterologist, clearly demonstrated how medical knowledge may surround and integrate a cosmopolitan and holistic approach, so that we as doctors and the general public, are able to become much closer and much more prone to understand the vital cycles of our society. Throughout those lively nights, many brilliant remarks were brought up, unexpected comments, unengaged points of view largely discussed, almost in a libertarian atmosphere, addressing the main topics that different experts and public figures were invited to dissect, about some of the most emblematic movies from the last decades. It is our firm believe that one of Hepatologists still unexplored noble tasks is to promote an anthropologic way of addressing and solving gastrointestinal and liver diseases burden.
