Narrative Matters

Fitzhugh Mullan, one of the editors of the Narrative Matters feature in Health Affairs, directs us to a new narrative written by geriatrician Jerry Winakur.  (For those unfamiliar with the feature, it demonstrates the significance of narrative to health policy, and many of the narratives were compiled in the recent anthology, Narrative Matters: The Power of the Personal Essay in Health Policy).  The essay is available free in the Nov. 2007 issue of Health Affairs.  Recommended.
