Storytelling in Medicine

This is an excellent book to be read and discussed by professors and medical students. Students usually have difficulties to take and write down the patients' medical history during their graduation. In fact, many young doctors have the same problem. It is an example of how literature can help in medical graduation. This book is an example that it is time for the Academy to use "off-label" new strategies to make good medical doctors. Thanks to the inspiration of Rita Charon' s Narrative Medicine works and ideal. Congratulations to the editors and contributors for brilliant work.Wellington Bruno Santos, MD, MsC, PhD, FESC
