Stories Matter: The Role of Narrative in Medical Ethics

Stories Matter: The Role of Narrative in Medical Ethics

Ronald A. Carson
4.4/5 ( ratings)
Read Download
The doctor-patient relationship starts with a story. Doctors' notes, a patient's chart, and insurance justifications all hinge on written and verbal narrative interaction. Narrative practice profoundly affects medical decision-making, patient health and treatment, and the everyday practice of medicine. Doctors and researchers have also found that narrative provides clarity and insight into medical ethics. Bioethicists, medical students, and practicing health professionals are increasingly using narrative ethics to guide their work. In their original essays, the contributors to Stories Matter provide conceptual foundations, practical guidelines, and theoretical considerations central to the practice of narrative ethics. Through clinical case histories, they explore the methods physicians and ethicists use to make some of their most difficult moral decisions.
