Abstract:
In the context of modern medicine， it’s difficult for doctors lacking narrative thinking to get into the hearts of patients and offer high-quality medical service. Precise classification terms and decontextualized abstract language have become communication barriers between doctors and patients， creating an atmosphere of unusual indifference and fear during the medical process. William Osler， the father of modern medicine， emphasized that doctors should respect the individuality of patients， and advocated that doctors should use life-oriented language to provide humanistic care to patients. This echoes the concept of the “doctor-patient narrative community” in the construction of the Chinese narrative medicine system. As a brand new clinical humanistic practice path， narrative medicine focuses on the keyword “narrative” and revolves around the theme of “inter-subjective relationship” in the medical context， advocates that doctors switch flexibly in the two references of science and life， achieve visual fusion with patients and their families， pay attention to patients’ life experiences， and establish narrative connections with them. On this basis， it can achieve two-way narrative interaction， build a harmonious doctor-patient narrative community， and thus enhance the patient’s medical experience.
