<span>Asking the patient
to identify his or her outlook or perception of the problem is usually the
first step the healers should used when collecting illness narratives. Since anthropologies are collecting illness
narratives, it would be best that the patient will give its first hand idea or
perspective of the given illness before it will tend to relay other’s
perception. A narrative is a spoken or written account of a story, which is usually
firsthand experience, so the patient giving its perspective first and foremost
is the best data that anthropologies can acquire in studying and collecting
data regarding the certain illnesses of the certain places.</span>
