ABSTRACT
Based on Lucy Grealy's memoir, Autobiography of a Face, this article explores the relationship between gender and illness in our culture, as well as the paradox of "intimacy without intimacy" in the clinical encounter. Included is a brief review of how authenticity, vulnerability, and mutual recognition of suffering can foster the kind of empathic doctor-patient relationship that Lucy Grealy sorely needed, but never received. As she says at the end of her memoir, "All those years I'd handed my ugliness over to people, and seen only the different ways it was reflected back to me."
