Narrative based medicine: dialogue and discourse in clinical practice.
Abstract
T Greenhagh, B Hurwitz (eds). (304 pages, £19.95.) BMJ Publishing Group, 1998. ISBN 0-7279-1223-2. When we practice medicine, we should listen to the stories that our patients tell and offer our understanding. Or we should help our patients re-tell their stories in a way that both patient and doctor can agree to be useful in understanding what is happening. Or we should help distressed patients write down about themselves, so that they can feel some fulfilment in knowing that at least what they have written will live on after them. There are so many different ways of hearing and understanding the developing sagas that patients and their carers experience. The editors of this interesting book clearly feel that it is time to wrap some academic respectability around the activity that every true clinician enjoys more than any other—that of listening to patients and struggling to make sense of it all.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
