This podcast, brought to you by Danica Facca, Monica Molinaro, and Jessica Polzer, explores the role of narrative, or storytelling, as a way to unravel the complexities of the personal, social, political, historical, and moral dimensions of health, medicine, and health care. As critical health researchers who are entrusted with the stories of others, and who re-tell those stories in our own writing and presentations, we aim to not only create a window of understanding into a situation, personal experience, or event, but also to diagnose systemic failures and moral dilemmas and illustrate their effects on patients, families, and care providers. In this podcast, we offer these re-tellings of stories as narrative remedies that assist us in re-scripting care by provoking thought and actions that strive to relieve suffering and redress unjust conditions. Let’s listen, and learn from, Narrative Remedies.
