All cynicism aside, there's vastly more in the collective writings of humans on empathy than medicine.

See my sibling comment just posted, I don't belive that's relevant. You can always screw up facts, it's a high bar. A loosely constrained example of an empathetic speech much easier. Despite the fact that medicine deals in facts (and this would hold true for an even more black and white discipline) so all you need in principle to learn from are a few examples, while empathy is much more subtle and would require a representation to be learned from many varied examples.

medicine benefits from facts, but is largely based on experienced, expert opinion
