This article responds to Abigail Droge's paper "Teaching Literature and Science in Silicon Valley," which describes the author's experience of teaching literature to students at Stanford, a university with strong links to the tech industry. On reading this paper, I discovered similarities between Droge's aims and experiences and my own experience of teaching literature and the history of medicine as part of a quality improvement (QI) program within the United Kingdom's National Health Service (NHS). My article focuses on one workshop session that took place in September 2017. I discuss the way in which literature and the history of medicine provides case studies that interact with QI theory, addressing several points raised by Droge.
