Summary/Abstract: During the twentieth century, biomedicine lost its way: the art and humanity of medical practice were lost to rapid scientific advances and new technologies. The medical humanities arose to demonstrate the value and relevance of the arts and humanitiesin making medicine and health care more humane. Wood challenges two dogmas of narrative in the medical humanities and in the field of medicine more broadly. The firstis the claim that we are narrative selves. The second, related dogma is that the best or most healthy way to respond to illness is through narrative.
