What would Humphrey Bogart think? A ‘film noir’ style play
depicting a general practice consultation, narrating the
doctor’s inner thoughts
Dr John Buckley
General Practice Medical Education Inc.
Let the Humphrey Bogart film noir-style narration walk you through a ‘standard consultation’ allowing
exploration of the doctor’s mind as the consultation takes its twists and turns. What will be the final
outcome?
Aim
To innovate thinking about the consultation and allow reflection on the doctor’s own humanity,
struggles and joys as they consult, sharing thoughts we often have but sometimes cannot express to
others.
Content
The play consists of a standard GP consultation occurring in the doctor’s office. It is late in the day
and the doctor is tired and winding down for the day. Before, during and after the consultation the
audience will hear added narration, ‘film noir’ style from the doctor’s mind, exploring the doctor’s
unspoken thoughts and feelings as the consultation transpires.
Goals
• To have reflected on our own mindset as doctors during consultations
• To have reviewed simple communication techniques in a new way
• To explore different ways of presenting medical education
• To have, hopefully, a laugh or two
Duration
15 minutes
Participant/presenter numbers
Three – two enacting the consultation as patient and doctor and a narrator
Target audience
All GPs and family doctors, especially those with an interest in medical education and/or exploring
communication between patients and doctors
