Abstract		At the symposium "Between medicine and literature" we tried to reveal the relationship between medicine and literature and find out, whether the fact that so many doctors were also writers is a mere coincidence or, maybe there are some hidden bonds between the two professions. In the introduction the author analyses the reasons for which a doctor would turn to a literary confession. The article presents some prominent European doctors-writers and their work (Schiller, Schnitzler, Rabelais, Čehov, Cronin, Maugham, Munthe, Doeblin, Brecht, Celine...) as well as, writers who often used themes from medicine in their literary works (Moliere, Ibsen, Kafka, Joyce).
