Journal article ‘Writing for our lives: Physician narratives and medical practice’. (The author explores the potential space between the patient and doctor, the weight of the stories that the doctor comes to carry and how writing can open the door to giving voice to some of the experiences we go through – how we make space to listen to ourselves).
