What if the traditional way doctors gauge patient health misses the mark?

Instead of treating patients according to signs and symptoms, an approach that is gaining traction is called narrative medicine, which uses storytelling and other narrative techniques to enhance patient care and understanding.

Today, we’re learning about this trend, its historic origins and why some in the medical field are embracing it.

Guests:

  • Dr. Erin McConnell,
  • James Phelan,
  • Pat Wynn Brown,
