Understanding happens when our horizon is moved or changed.
The old horizon becoming the new one.
“Fusion of Horizons”

Bildung, Open to meaning
Do you feel there are lots of possibilities for change / progress here?
Imagination
Do you have any ideas which might help?
How do you think it would feel if this turned out to be some sort of cancer?
Are you religious? How can this help
Present Horizon Whole
Partial Understanding
Pre- UnderstandingWhat do you think is happening? What have you done to deserve this? What has made this happen?Have you looked on the internet?
PrejudiceDo you have previous knowledge about this?What did you think we would be doing today?Did you expect me to do anything in particular today?
Fore meaningsChunk and checking. Let me get this right?After the examination: What do you think is going on here?
Circle of Understanding
LanguageWithout language we cannot transmit meaning.Wittgenstein. The limits of my language mean the limits of my world.

Video of teaching
Discussion about patient centred medicine.
First consultation was about a mainly clinical topic.
Second video of a consultation with a patient who has cancer and almost certainly secondaries.

The best consultations involve careful listening, questioning and imaginative ideas taking them around the circle of understanding to alter horizons.
An ability to see what is questionable in the encounter and combine this with our experience of science.
Philosophy as a mediation of the truth.
