I am pulling this from memory, so I may not have it quite right, but I believe Eudora Welty said at Walker Percy's memorial service that the role of the physician and the novelist had this in common, that they both listened to the patient's heart and said, "Thou ailest here and here and here."

Inexplicably, Percy is not mentioned in this article from The
Guardian, a British periodical.

Prescribed reading: why medicine is good training for writing fiction,
