RE: The Patient Knows Best: What is narrative medicine?
Too true, there’s an utter lack of bothering to listen to the patient in lots of aspects of modern ‘medicine’. Too many doctors think they know best and just dictate off things they see on the website they are looking at to explain your symptoms. (Often funded by pharmaceutical companies)
Yeah, it’s really unfortunate to see how medicine has become this cookie cutter dictation from doctor to patients. I learned of this in one of my classes at a naturopathic medical school and it was intriguing because all of us in the class were wondering why it’s not something taught regularly at MD universities. On the bright side, at least now it’s a thing and is gaining grounds. :)
