This study explores the linguistic features of medical poetry as a unique intersection of art and science. The research focuses on how medical terminology, metaphorical language, and emotional expression interact within poetic texts to reflect the human experience of illness, healing, and the medical profession. Special attention is given to the stylistic, lexical, and semantic characteristics that distinguish medical poetry from other literary genres. The study also examines the role of poetic discourse in humanizing medical knowledge and enhancing empathy in doctor–patient communication.
