Which evidence from the Newsela article "Health Benefits of Reading, Writing, Are Not Just for Patients" supports the central idea that reading can help doctors to better treat their patients and that writing can help their patients heal?

“'If you have an experience and you sit down and write about it, you can pour that emotion out,' Harper says. Getting rid of these thoughts and emotions helps to find meaning in the death or the survival of a patient — and then allows you to move on with your life, he says."

"For example, think of fairy tales that teach moral lessons. Or religious texts that wrestle with valleys of despair and mountains of hope, or poetry that cleanses the writer’s soul."

"Coke points to books such as Frank McCourt’s Angela’s Ashes. In that book the author writes about growing up poor in 1930s and ’40s Ireland."

"Harper says doctors who read stories are more understanding and, therefore, more compassionate or caring, more willing to listen to their patients’ stories."

Seeing it from both points of view, the definite cure of disease relies on more than just medicine there is also the human element that makes the patient and the doctor more persistent and resilient to any event that might come in the process, besides this activities help both parties communicate and understand better each other to get to the goal.
