Here is an astonishing fact: When I ask people in my creativity speeches if they can think of a profession where people should NOT be creative, the second (!) most common answer is “Doctors!”. (The most common answer is “Pilots.”) Every time I meet doctors, I tell them this, and they ALWAYS react the same way: Shocked and disappointed. Today, I had a knee operation, and I asked my doctor of anesthetics, Jan, what he thought about people thinking doctors don't need to be creative. He said: “Of course doctors need to be creative! We have to be creative to inflict the least possible disturbance to the body while making it heal - that requires extreme creativity. Medicine is an art! ” Actually, the Swedish word for “medicine” (not the pill but the science or practice of the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of disease) is “läkekonst” - which literally translates to “The art of healing”. Never assume that a profession does not require creativity - especially not medicine. #creativity #medicine #art #healthacare Capio Sverige #creativityexplorer ps. Jan was a star, and my operation went extremely smoothly. Now I have new knee.

Fredrik Haren's story about creativity in medicine demonstrates that innovation is not confined to marketing or technology; it's a universal catalyst for progress. Jan's perspective is a testament to the ingenuity required in all professions, including healthcare, where the blend of science and creativity furthers remarkable healing. It's a reminder that in the art of problem-solving, whether for the human body or a business's online presence, creative thinking is indispensable.
