Diversity plays an important role in how people experience illness
and healthcare as patients. Listening carefully to stories of how
race, class, age, gender, sexuality, and disability can affect
patient experience can be revealing and provide much needed change
to health communication in the patienthood narrative. This book is
a collection of vibrant and engaging essays by scholars of
narrative methods in health communication. Each chapter takes
readers into the fascinating world of patients who use stories from
their personal lives to challenge us to rethink, reimagine, and
reformulate what health communication means in practice. Each
section of the book focuses on an important aspect of the theory
and practice of the patienthood narrative. Part one explores the
important ways that telling and sharing patient's stories can lead
to learning, empowerment, and advocacy. Part two explores several
key forms of diversity and how they affect patienthood. Part three
illustrates how personal, relational, and cultural aspects of
identity intersect to shape the patient experience.
