While most are familiar with The Golden Rule (Treat others the way you want to be treated), Edson, in our interview, invoked The Platinum Rule (Treat others the way they want to be treated) and its importance in patient-clinician interactions. Nurse Monahan seems to best embody The Platinum Rule in the film adaptation of Wit. Rather than dehumanizing or patronizing Professor Bearing, Nurse Monahan seems to empathize with her patient. She seems to anticipate her patient’s needs, and the way Professor Bearing herself would wish those needs to be fulfilled.
