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.

      And experience is the practical contact with and observation of facts, over an extended period. Most English dictionaries explicitly separate out “formal judgment by an expert” as a distinct meaning for “opinion” from the more common meaning of personal subjective no-facts-needed belief.
