I recommend this paper to GENERALISTS. It is about PRACTICAL WISDOM, which is not often written about coherently. Whether technē (doing) or phronesis (being) is more important in medicine depends on the goal: whether the goal is the treatment of disease or the healing of illness.

I will have a workshop regarding a narrative approach in healthcare at WONCA APR 2025.

A kind of empathy, such as 'It is reasonable to think like that in this situation', can hinder the development of a narrative. This is because, by taking the position, we cannot find any further questions to ask the narrator.

Thank you for sharing this @kokikatokk.bsky.social Generalism requires a holistic approach to care, the art of listening and developing trusting relationships.

Wonderful exploration of the in depth knowledge work of everyday practice. Exploring but staying curious to enable explanations to be co-created , not just 'uncovered'. Thank you Junichiro - and Koki for sharing. @wisegp

In October 2024, Japanese family medicine educators visited several sites in the UK to learn about education and practices of ‘narrative medicine’ in general practice. This is a video report from our exciting journey.

"Maybe we can't cure people or entirely remove symptoms, but we can give people the sense that they're being listened to and that their opinions and needs are being, taken seriously.” by Havi Carel

How did the public lose all faith in messaging from experts in public health? It possibly started with the misinformation spread about "herd immunity" at the start of the Covid pandemic and has never really recovered. My latest column @bmj.com just out. www.bmj.com/content/388/...
