  3. First things first… Socrates: That is just what surprises me, Gorgias, and has made me ask you all this time what in the world the power of rhetoric can be. For, viewed in this light, its greatness comes over me as something supernatural. Gorgias: Ah yes, if you knew all, Socrates,--how it comprises in itself practically all powers at once! And I will tell you a striking proof of this: many and many a time have I gone with my brother or other doctors to visit one of their patients, and found him unwilling either to take medicine or submit to the surgeon’s knife or cautery; and when the doctor failed to persuade him I succeeded, by no other art than that of rhetoric….So great, so strange, is the power of this art. --Plato, Gorgias, ca. 386 B.C.E.

  4. Some historical markers: 1960s-1970s: As Judy Segal says, Thomas Kuhn opened science to rhetoric, and Kenneth Burke opened rhetoric to science. 1977: “biopsychosocial” model emerges in medicine, health communication emerges as a communication subfield 1989: Lawrence J. Prelli publishes A Rhetoric of Science: Inventing Scientific Discourse 1990: Alan Gross publishes The Rhetoric of Science (reprinted in 1996) 2005: Special issue of JBTC edited by Ellen Barton, special issue of TCQ edited by Alan Gross and Laura Gurak 2013: University of Cincinnati Symposium, “Discourses of Health, Medicine, and Society”
