40. Narrative Medicine and the Power of Story from Northern California

Science tells us what the disease is, but the story tells us what the illness means to the person living it. We explore the field of narrative medicine, where healthcare meets humanity.

Rebecca George and I discuss how narrative medicine evolved and provide practical tools to build resilience and combat burnout. Whether you're a clinician or a patient, learn how embracing “data with a soul” can bridge divides and transform clinical care into a collaborative journey of healing.
