Abstract
Narrative Medicine is democratic. It does not belong to, or side with, anybody or a specific role but belongs to all individuals, and at least once in a lifetime, each human being has to deal with the patterns of balance/imbalance of health and illness. It is transversal and crosses all roles and specialties and requires a systemic approach to attain a multiple stakeholder consensus uniting the listening and collection of stories from patients, caregivers, friends, employers, and teachers.
Money is better than poverty, if only for financial reasons.—Woody Allen
