The patient’s story lies at the heart of a doctor’s role and that story influences each patient’s experience of illness- some call this journey ‘an emotional rollercoaster’.
I had reflected on what I had learn from each of the patients and combined this with my learning from my seminars where I learnt a lot about the concept of co-CREATING a story with my patient and this led me to come up with the mnemonic CREATE to guide my through working with patients in my future practice.
