Jun 2000
What is it like to be a patient experiencing a debilitating, potentially life-threatening illness or encountering the health care environment, perhaps for the first time, from a position of vulnerability?

When patients — including physicians who become patients — voice their most intimate thoughts, feelings, and reactions, much can be learned.
