title: [Who can provide a translation when I cannot be understood? Or the art of holding a medical conversation].
abstract: A transfacultary seminar of students with a patient resulted in a theatre performance based on Goethe's "Faustus" demonstrating the patient's treatment marathon in our current health-care system. Core demands and results are (i) simple access to evidence-based patient information, (ii) communication skills in the selection and education of medical students. and (iii) active involvement of patients in the self-management of their illness.
