Why doctors' stories matter



"...As I read the winning stories, I had a fantasy, which is probably not a good idea to apply literally, but it’s useful as what philosophers would call a thought experiment. My fantasy was that in a doctor’s waiting room, instead of old magazines and public health brochures, patients might pick up stories that the doctor had written—stories not unlike these winning stories. And maybe patients would then bring in their stories and leave copies of those on the rack next to the doctor’s stories. That would open the silent world on both sides."
