I use my writing skills every day with patients. When with a patient, I can describe illness or a disease process in a novel way. Writing allows me to reframe the tremendous trust that patients honor me with. Patients send me poems over MyChart, and I share my favorites with them. The humanities are a kite that give form to the changeable winds of my work.
