Narrative medicine enhances patient relationships and provides insights in healthcare professionals, suggesting a meaningful approach to care.
I share my story of how an unexpected diagnosis changed my lens in caring for my patients. This story shines a light on how narrative medicine tools employed by various healthcare professionals touch me as a patient, in turn, realizing how it trickled down to strengthen relationships with my patients as their comprehensive family physician. Narrative medicine permitted me to process my health journey and re-assess my values to gain new insights on how I derive meaning and purpose.
