NARRATIVE MEDICINE

Narrative Medicine is experiencing medicine through storytelling.  A longer explanation is eloquently described by Sayantani DasGupta.  Stories, whether we realize or not, are the framework on which we all build our lives.  How we narrate our own story affects every decision, every interaction.  Narrative medicine strives to find that deeper narrative to help us understand a little more about ourselves, and to keep us asking the important questions.  We like to think it keeps us human as well.
