As I’ve been blogging about this for a couple months now, I’m really trying to find anyone who loves these things. So, Dr. McPherson, as far as I can tell, she’s really the only person in our professional community who in any sort of serious public way said, folks we need to do something about this.

Today we’re going to be talking about narrative writing specifically for healthcare professionals. My entree into healthcare is not in the academic space at all. I started blogging as a patient, just talking about my own story online like patients did back in the day. So unlike academic journals and elsewhere.

Eric’s blog post on Dignity Therapy from 2011. So we have community volunteers who often they have a background in writing or background in healthcare, certainly an interest in interviewing and an interest in writing. You did write a blog post about him though, Eric. A few Dignity Therapy- Harvey Max Chochinov links.

As we’ve written about on GeriPal when we were a blog (a decade ago!) I think the first time I noticed it was, like as a medical student when you would rotate on one service with one attending and they would make decisions about how to treat a case one way. And very time-consuming. And it was about a CPR decision.

So we have community volunteers who often they have a background in writing or background in healthcare, certainly an interest in interviewing and an interest in writing. And then we also have another Vas, many of the interviews are done by medical students or other healthcare trainees as part of their clinical rotation at the VA.

Back then we were a blog and Ken’s post, which is titled, Survival from Severe Sepsis: The infection is cured, but all is not well, is still one of our most viewed posts on Jerry Powell. Julien: He basically had an end of life care discussion with this patient. Ken Covinsky wrote about it for GeriPal. Alex: Bye everybody.

If you really don’t know how to write, actually, sometimes quote Eric in my talks on this, because you years ago said something about in doing the initial GeriPal, sort of just blogging, you would do it. Are you trying to reach people in your local community? And that was how you learned to write by doing it.
