[Destiny-zapping--medical education, students' world view and the ethical challenge]. / Skjebnezapping--medisinsk grunnopplaering, legestudenters dannelse og den etiske fordring.

Three medical students describe their search for professional and personal identity midway through medical school. The article focuses on their concrete experience of human suffering and vulnerability, which is set against elements from the relational ethics of Danish philosopher KE Løgstrup. Løgstrup's ontology is based on a relational understanding of being human, and implicitly opposes the strongly objectivating and individualised view of human existence promoted through the experiences of everyday medical education.
