Abstract

I am lucky enough to have a mentor. He is an older, wiser doctor who, over regular breakfasts, serves as a sounding board for my practice of medicine. On his urging, I decided to try to write the narratives revealed by my patients. I began by reading the giants of narrative medicine: Rita Charon, Arthur Kleinman, etc; but one day I stumbled on Arthur Frank's The Renewal of Generosity: Illness, Medicine and How to Live. His book soon came to dominate my summer evenings.
