 Narrative medicine offers a revision to the biomedical model alternative based around the centrality of the story or narrative in human life (Charon 2006). This notion that narrative is central to human experience offers a variety of potential operationalizations in clinical biomedical practice. For instance, it places additional value on the patient consultation and asks for improved active listening skills among clinicians, who must learn to elicit, receive, and understand patients’ stories about their health conditions. Such listening has many potential benefits, including the potential to understand the meaning(s) of what human dignity means for a given patient, an important benefit given that biomedical settings are known for being “dehumanizing” (Parsons &amp; Hooker 2010). Though, the proposition that humans are indeed narrative beings has itself been disputed (Woods 2011).
