ABSTRACT
The current Covid-19 pandemic has raised countless challenges to doctors working on the front lines of care for people with the disease. Among them, we emphasize the need to express compassion and empathy to patients who, due to the recommendations for isolation, live a lonely process of illness or death, which is --
hampered by the need to use personal protective equipment that hide the facial expressions of health professionals. In this article, we present two medical narratives, which illustrate the role of the philosophical exercise of medicine throughout professional life as an instrument for the acquisition and improvement of humanistic resources which are essential for coping with crises and represent a source of inspiration for the creation of new forms for expressing empathy.
