Portrait of the scientist as a frustrated writer.
The purpose of this report is to show that a number of scientists feel dissatisfied with the rigid structure of the scientific article as a pattern of communication. Through examples taken from specialized medical journals, we follow their way from sporadic literary quotations supporting their own texts to attempted literary creations on scientific and moral issues.
