B. Getting rid of these thoughts and emotions helps to find meaning in the death or the survival of a patient—and then allows you to move on with your life.

C. Harper says doctors who read stories are more understanding and, therefore, more compassionate or caring, more willing to listen to their patients’ stories. It also helps doctors to communicate better.

Answer: A. A movement called narrative medicine has been growing. It comes from the idea that both writing and reading literature can help doctors and patients to communicate better. Together they can discover meaning in the illnesses they battle.

Explanation:

It has long been acknowledged in the medical field that poor communication between patients and health workers have led to several fatalities. Indeed a study in the 1900s found that between 44,000 and 98,000 patient deaths in a year resulted from poor communication. While that was a long time ago, it is still a troubling figure.

This is where Narrative Medicine comes in. It is believed that if both patients and doctors can read and write more literature they will be able to enunciate better the symptoms that they feel and doctors would then be able to pick up conditions faster which would mean less misdiagnosis.

Patients therefore play a major role in their own treatment because they have to be able to communicate better, the symptoms they feel and they can do this by reading and writing more.
