Susan Nathan, MD is a Geriatrician and Hospice and Palliative Medicine physician at VA Boston Healthcare System.  She is an Instructor in Medicine at Harvard Medical School and an adjunct Instructor in Medicine at Boston University School of Medicine.  She is the site director for the My Life, My Story Project at VA Boston. She is interested in the role of patient story in healthcare as well as education around serious illness communication. This is a conversation about "My Life, My Story", a program that was started to help VA health care providers better understand their patients and provide them with insights and information that might not otherwise manifest through single visits. If the Veteran chooses to participate in the program, their story becomes part of their medical record. The effect this program had and continues to have on veterans and healthcare providers is truly remarkable.

"My Life, My Story" with Susan Nathan, MD

Thor Ringler

Saving veterans' stories, one patient at a time Dr. Susan Nathan, physician at the Boston VA, and Thor Ringler, therapist and poet in Madison, Wisconsin, talk about their experience with My Life, My Story. The VA program offers veterans the opportunity to record their life story—not only for posterity, but for their medical chart as well. Thor is the overall program director of My Life, My Story and an avid collector of patients' life stories. He was brought on board after two psychiatrists, Dr. Eileen Ahearn and Dr. Dean Krahn, recognized the need to promote greater understanding of the patients among the team of people caring for them. That led to the revolutionary idea of including 1,000 word narratives, told in the patient's voice, in the medical chart. In addition, each patient receives hard copies of the edited story to take home. Links &amp; Stuff Want to volunteer for My Life, My Story? If you're in Boston, contact Dr. Susan Nathan.
