醫事寫作是台灣文學中相當具有專業性的寫作，多以醫師作家為其主力隊伍，透過臨床相關醫療經驗的描寫，建立了人文精神的傳承。畢業於長庚大學醫學系的阿布，本名劉峻豪，是台灣新生代頗受矚目的醫師作家，出版了《實習醫生的秘密手記》（2013）、《來自天堂的微光：我在史瓦濟蘭行醫》（2013）、《萬物皆有裂縫》（2021）三本醫療散文集。阿布的散文洋溢著熱情與悲憫，既有亙古流傳的醫學知識，也有奇幻文學般的詭譎想像，更有對精神醫學的理性反思。他的醫事寫作連結了獨特的秘教隱喻，從生命存有的觀想和現代醫學的省思中，開展出人文精神，具有一種復魅的色彩。本文從阿布常用的秘教隱喻出發，探討他如何思考醫學的歷史與意義，進而對醫療行為展開自省，並以生命存有的同理與悲憫，觀想病苦經驗對生命主體的銘刻，開展以人為本的人文關懷與醫療本質的論述，最後論及阿布散文在台灣當代醫事寫作中的價值。

Medical writing is a highly specialized genre in Taiwanese literature, with physicians as its main authors. By depicting their clinical medical experiences, these writers have transmitted the humanistic spirit. Abu, whose real name is Liu Junhao, graduated from the Department of Medicine at Chang Gung University, is a highly regarded physician writer among the new generation of writers in Taiwan. He has published three collections of essays dealing with medical themes: "The Interns" (2013), "Twilight from Heaven: My Medical Practice in Swaziland" (2013), and "A Crack in Everything" (2021). Abu's essays are filled with passion and compassion, encompassing both ancient medical knowledge and the surreal imaginations like those found in fantasy literature, as well as rational reflection on psychiatry. His medical writing is connected with peculiar occult metaphors, and unfolds a humanistic spirit via the contemplation upon life and reflections upon modern medicine, which give his writing a touch of re-enchantment. Starting from the often used occult metaphors by Abu, this article explores how he thinks about the history and meaning of medicine, and then engages in self-reflection on medical practice. This article also demonstrates the way he, through empathy towards and compassion for the beings in life, contemplates upon the inscriptions made by the sufferings of illness on the human subjects, and develops a human-oriented humanistic concern and discourses on the nature of medicine. Finally, the value of Abu's prose in contemporary medical writing in Taiwan is discussed.
