   Published by Project MUSE Homepage  [292 journals]
  • Editors' Note
    • Abstract: We are pleased to publish the first issue of volume eight of Narrative Inquiry in Bioethics (NIB). The symposium includes 12 narratives detailing the experience of navigating personal and professional roles when family members are ill. Twelve stories appear in print and an additional six are available in the online supplement. Dr. Lauren Smith, the narrative symposium editor for the issue, along with members of the NIB editorial staff, wrote the call for stories and invited three commentary authors John C. Moskop, Arthur W. Frank, and Joanna Weinberg. The three have expertise in physician-patient relations, decision making, clinical ethics, narrative inquiry, health law and policy, and end-of-life care.The research ... Read More

  • Doctor in the Family: Stories and Dilemmas Surrounding Illness in
           Relatives
    • Abstract: Physicians often face challenges in balancing personal and professional roles when illness strikes a family member. Many memoirs have been written about physicians navigating the "sick role" when confronted with their own serious illnesses such as cancer; however, this issue seeks to clarify how physicians cope with medical problems in family members. Many hospital policies and the AMA code of ethics are written to deter physicians from treating family members; however, even without a formal doctor-patient relationship, difficulties arise when relatives ask for advice, medications, or other expertise (American Medical Association, 2016). In addition to these requests, physicians with ill relatives may feel alone ... Read More

  • Family Portrait
    • Abstract: When I last saw my dad he was propped up on a gurney smiling at us. He turned to us and simply said, "What a beautiful family portrait." We smiled back, told him we loved him and that we'd see him soon. Then he was off to the ambulance that would take him to Manhattan to repair the 9 centimeter abdominal aortic aneurysm that was discovered earlier that morning.No big deal, right' It was going to be an endovascular repair and he was stable. He was coming to the academic medical center where I work and they do this sort of thing all the time. Yes, he was 93 but otherwise in great health. His mind was keen and his memory sharp. The vascular surgeon, who was a colleague, and a father of my son's classmate, would slip ... Read More

  • Found in the Translation
    • Abstract: "They told us she was cured, and then all of a sudden they told us there was nothing more they could do," Dad repeatedly told me in the first months after we lost my mother to stomach cancer. That, of course, was not quite true: in fact, there had been no evidence of tumor recurrence, until there was.I am a cardiothoracic surgeon, the oldest of three "kids" in the family. My youngest brother is a Catholic priest. Both of us deal with life and death every day, and for years we had been trying to get our parents to formalize advanced directives. Finally, once my mother was in hospice, we got them done, with Mom and Dad both, who at that time were in their early 80s. They had been married for 57 years and Mom was ... Read More

  • Let Me Hold the Wheel, Daddy!
    • Abstract: I have been in Family Practice for 30 years now, out of which 23 in the same office that used to be my grandmother's home. In spite of the rule that a doctor should not treat his family members, I do it all the time. Even before I graduated from residency, I wrote prescriptions for narcotics to help my mother who died of Multiple Myeloma at the age of 69. So when I opened my practice, in the same neighborhood where I grew up, it was only natural that other members of my family would become my patients. My father, my four children, my wife and her parents, my brother and two of my aunts, were all my patients, not to mention many friends, old and new, who live in the area.My rationale for doing so was that I felt I ...

  • Caution Ahead—Physician Parent
    • Abstract: The benefits of being a practicing physician were immediately obvious to me when peripheral members of my family or acquaintances had medical questions or became ill. Friends and family clearly appreciated when I shared my medical knowledge as an internist, or helped them navigate the complicated institutional structure of hospitals and clinics, or simply provided context and background information about their illnesses. I was able to be helpful even if their question didn't involve my specific area of medical expertise because I could piece together how to be helpful simply by providing a framework for thinking about their problem. What did they understand about their illness' What had their doctor told them ... Read More

  • A Family Affair
    • Abstract: My sister Connie was recently diagnosed with a rare tumor, a myxofibrosarcoma, that had taken up residence near the right brachial plexus. Usually a benign tumor, its location increases the risk of arm dysfunction, recurrence, and metastasis. Her care may be further complicated by the presence of three physicians in her family.The shiny anticipation of unwrapped gifts had dulled and the last of the raviolis and turkey had been packed away. My sister Connie and I sat on the floor in my parent's family room, as the final game of the night ended. She pulled back her hair and asked, "Is this something I should be worried about'"The loud chatter of our surrounding family receded and time held its breath with me. A mass. ... Read More

It was one of those calls you never want to get, and a call I'm sure my brother never imagined he would make. His school–aged daughter, who was bright, beautiful, and always completely healthy had started having seizures. Her absence seizures had started a few weeks back, and they were getting more frequent. My brother had taken her to see her pediatrician, and she prescribed some anti–seizure medication and wanted a follow–up appointment in a few months. My brother was concerned that it could be something more serious, and he worried that starting medication and waiting to see what happened might not be best ... Read More

  • For the Love of Tomatoes and Movies: Lessons from a Grandfather's Passing
    • Abstract: Near the end of 2009, I started working as a primary care physician in a private practice in Belgium. Requests from family members followed shortly thereafter."Would you be our doctor'" "Can we come to your practice'"Admittedly, I was in doubt about how to handle these requests. They usually came with high expectations. Surely a doctor who was also a family member would put extra effort into providing the best possible care. My medical school professors, however, had been very clear about this type of request and advised against treating close relatives. An intense emotional involvement could cloud one's medical objective judgment, they believed, possibly leading to irresponsible decisions and issues, such as an ... Read More

  • A Family Physician: My Role and My Specialty
    • Abstract: "What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us."This is the quote I wrote in my father's birthday card the year he was diagnosed with cancer. I was a senior in college and was struggling for ways to communicate. I wanted him to know that I truly believed he could beat this disease. However, at the age of 20, I had yet to learn the delicate manner of discussing the emotional upheaval that follows a terminal diagnosis. I wanted to ask him if he was scared, if he was confident, or if his brave and calm demeanor was solely for our sake. I desperately wished to talk to him about this journey. But this was my father, my protector, and I was too frightened to bring up his ... Read More

  • My Father, My Patient
    • Abstract: "Education is the only thing that they can't take away from you."These were the words my father would utter innumerable times during my childhood and adolescence. Over the years I came to know the meaning of those words and why this conviction ran so deeply inside of him. A man who survived the anti–Semitism of pre–World War II Poland and then the horrors of the Holocaust deserved better than to suffer from a physician error that led him to become totally dependent on others for his daily care. How could this independent, strong and intelligent man who had survived unspeakable horrors in the concentrations camps, in an instant become, in essence, my third child'Before this event, other than using my neurological ...

  • Recognising Illness in a Loved One: The Obligation to Speak, the Pull of
           Silence
    • Abstract: The day Marcus died the jasmine scented wind sent blossoms eddying along the footpaths. The day before I had watched him sleeping on the fold out sofa bed in the family room. With the covers pulled up and his dark lashes resting on his pale cheeks he looked like any other sleeping child. When he was awake his lack of motor control told another story. He could not hold his head and torso steady, he slumped in his wheelchair, he could no longer talk and often used his feet to communicate. Watching him sleep I was reminded of how much he looked like his mother, same fine bone structure, same dark lashes and almond shaped eyes. I remembered him as a baby in the park, smiling up at Stacey; the amazement I felt seeing my ... Read More

  • Abdicating the Role of Physician, Losing the Role of Loved One
    • Abstract: I am a pediatric intensivist and the only person in a medical profession in my family. My mom passed away from complications of endometrial cancer when I was in college (and far too young to really have any idea about what it meant to have endometrial cancer, let alone what it meant to have died from complications of it). Though not yet even a medical student, my dad sent me a copy of my mom's autopsy results and asked me to go through them with him. Despite not having had the opportunity to go to college, my dad has basically had a career as a mechanical engineer. In hindsight, to have someone so self–motivated and intelligent ask me to interpret an autopsy report with just my college–level interest in medicine ... Read More

  • Between a Father and a Son
    • Abstract: I held my stethoscope, as I had hundreds of times, on the chest of my patient. My fingertips making contact with the thin rugose skin that uttered signs of unrest. His laborious raspy breaths forged a backdrop to the tachycardic and irregular rhythm I knew clamored portending demise. With his face flushed and his nares faring, he took his last breath. His heart refusing to rest, but losing its battle to the silent stillness of no more.I looked at my patient–father's lifeless face. I had lost numerous patients in the past. Some I had cared for and known for years, their death imparting a feeling of loss and insecurity of alternate decisions not taken. Now studying his inanimate body, an ominous void of familial loss ... Read More

    • Abstract: The forms sat on my kitchen table for months. As the days went by, mail, newspapers, bills and various household items slowly covered them, like an archeological dig. Hidden but not forgotten, the DNR forms gnawed at me, even as my procrastination grew to monstrous size. How—how—could I make my mother DNR' How could I make this woman, a Holocaust survivor, who endured unimaginable horrors, who held on to life with legendary ferocity, how could I officially stop her fight for life' Yet I knew better, as a doctor, as a teacher of medical ethics, I knew what to do. The trouble was doing it.My mother lived through the Warsaw Ghetto, the Majdanek death camp, starvation and degradation. But could she survive the nursing ... Read More

  • Everyone should have a physician in the family
    • Abstract: Over the past 35 years, I have told friends and family that everyone should have a physician in the family. I did not mean to suggest that the familial physician should provide medical care, formal or informal, to loved ones. Indeed, I have avoided such things as diagnosing or prescribing for family members. As a physician and academic–medicine educator, my recommendation (actually, more a wish) that families should have a physician member was driven by my first–hand experiences in witnessing the downside of expediency, cost containment, and high care volumes in today's healthcare. These pressures have diminished U.S. healthcare routinely, not just exceptionally. One need only consider the ongoing crisis in medical ... Read More

  • Watershed and Intersections: The Doctor in the Family
    • Abstract: "The practice of medicine in an art . . . a calling in which your heart will be exercised equally with your head."Nowhere in the practice of medicine is this aphorism tested more than with the illness and death of a family member. In the 1970's, my exposure to the bioethics of treating and deciding for a family member was limited to: "never treat a family member." We were led to believe it was unethical. The rationale was that we could not be objective enough to treat in the best interest of the patient. Without formal readings, that was just theory. Today we understand the difference between autonomy and beneficence. The patient is, if able to do so, to be an active participant in decision making. But in the ... Read More

  • The Doctor in the Family
    • Abstract: There is a saying in the Talmud: "A man cannot say to the Angel of Death, I wish to arrange my affairs before I die." When swift and sudden, death gives us no time to sign papers and pack our bags. But sometimes, the Angel of Death loiters and lingers. He acts like an unwelcome house guest who takes over the spare room, but bides his time—even sitting at the family dinner table with a self–satisfied smirk.That's how it was in my mother's final days, as she endured, over many months, the slow, choking off of life–blood that is aortic stenosis. Despite many discussions with me—her "son the doctor"—my mother refused potentially life–saving valve surgery. At the age of 88, she was not about to—as she put it—"let some ... Read More

  • Doctor in the Family or Family Doctor'

The next day when talking to him on the phone, he mentioned that he fell onto the back of his head the night before during the walk (ice below the snow that lead to a "slip and fall").Upon further questioning, he sounded like his usual self, he did state he had a little bit of a headache, he denied any other symptoms, and he seemed not very concerned, but rather quite content that he did not have any obvious fractures. About three weeks passed without any new events and no complaints. Jamu and he shortly thereafter few to the US to where he had recently moved.One late afternoon ... Read More

  • Moving Through and Moving Forward
    • Abstract: On the five hour drive home after my father–in–law, Mike's, initial hospitalization for renal failure resulting in a diagnosis of aggressive multiple myeloma, my head seemed too tight, the radio too loud, and the DJ's too rambunctious. The tension in my head built, hammering, getting more severe over the evening. I slept fitfully that night, my head pounding every time I rolled over. The headache continued into the next day, when I went into work as I was scheduled to teach a clinical reasoning small group. I was horribly irritable, and didn't understand the headache. Mike was suffering with an illness, and medical school and residency trained me to deal with illness, so why was I so tense' I could deal with any ... Read More

  • When Professional Rightness is Personal
    • Abstract: "At that moment, I was more a loving son than an analytical physician, buoyed by my dad's resilience, but stricken by impending loss." So writes Joseph Fins in his contribution to this collection of stories. Like all the other physician authors, Fins structures his narrative on the binary opposition between "analytical", the professional attitude, and "loving", the attitude appropriate to a family member. The dramatic tension of these stories—the tension that pulls the protagonist in different directions and creates suspense over what she or he will do—depends on that opposition. Suspense over how the illness will turn out seems secondary, because the ill person is the object of the narrator and protagonist's ... Read More

  • Doctor in, and for, the Family': Physicians Reflect on Care for Loved
           Ones
    • Abstract: Like virtually all human beings who live long enough, physicians encounter the serious illness and death of beloved family members and close friends. Unlike the rest of us, however, physicians have expert knowledge of human illness, and most physicians provide medical care for their patients nearly every working day of their lives. In the personal narratives published in this issue of Narrative Inquiry in Bioethics, twelve physicians reflect on their experiences as family members or close friends of patients with grave illnesses. These narratives make clear that physicians face many of the same challenges as other family members in these situations, including dealing with heavy emotional burdens and making major ... Read More

  • The Dilemma of the "Doctor in the Family"
    • Abstract: In Leo Tolstoy's novella The Death of Ivan Ilyich (1886) Ivan Ilyich, the story's protagonist, is dying a slow and painful death. His family avoids the subject of his death and instead pretends Ilyich is only sick and not dying.Recalling Tolstoy's story, Atul Gawande writes in Being Moral (2014):"As we medical students saw it, the failure of those around Ivan Ilyich to offer comfort or to acknowledge what was happening was a failure of character and culture . . . Just as we believed that modern medicine could probably have cured Ivan Ilyich of whatever disease he had, so too we took for granted that honesty and kindness were basic responsibilities of a modern doctor. We were confident that in such a situation we ... Read More

  • Views of Low-Income Women of Color at Increased Risk for Breast Cancer
    • Abstract: Cancer prevention education has been increasing its emphasis on the importance of knowing one's individual risk. This emphasis is particularly strong in breast cancer prevention because the disease is not monolithic and risk may vary greatly among diverse groups of women across the life span (Kurian, Fish, Shema, & Clarke, 2010). Screening and prevention recommendations are also risk dependent (Saslow et al., 2007; Visvanathan et al., 2013). Therefore, individual risk assessment (IRA) for breast cancer is being introduced into primary care settings with the aim of increasing adherence to risk-appropriate screening and prevention measures (Hoskins, Zwaagstra, & Ranz, 2006; Kaplan et al., 2014; Moyer et al., 2013 ...

  • A Personal Narrative on Living and Dealing with Psychiatric Symptoms after

    • Abstract: Deep brain stimulation (DBS) has been regarded as an efficient and safe treatment for Parkinson's disease (PD) for the last 25 years (Schultz, 2002). During this time, several thousands of people with PD have received DBS therapy. In terms of clinical ethics, it is worth asking whether the use of DBS may have unanticipated negative effects similar to those associated with other types of neurosurgery: in particular, how postoperative neuropsychiatric effects may impact upon a patient's sense of self (Gilbert, Cook, O'Brien, & Illes, 2017; Gilbert, Goddard, Viaña, Carter, & Horne, 2017; Gilbert, Vranic, 2015; Gilbert, Harris, Kapsa, 2014). In some instances, symptoms are alleviated but patients do not cope well with ... Read More

In the call for stories we sought a collection of narratives from war veterans, including both combatant and non-combatant individuals, about meeting their health care needs.We were interested in both positive and negative experiences with health care systems and aimed to learn about what could have been done, or could be done, differently to improve the health care experiences of veterans. We encouraged authors to share advice for veterans about to return home.The call for stories was announced in the NIB newsletter and on the NIB Website. Additionally, the call was posted on ...

  • The Price of Dependence
    • Abstract: In the early 1990's I was signing out of Ft. Campbell, KY, and there was a person sitting at a small folding table just a few feet before door that led off the base and to where I was going next. I was at the end of my time with the 502nd Infantry, 101st Airborne Division, nine months back from combat in Desert Storm, and at the end of my enlistment. I walked up to the folding table, already kind of looking past it, and the person there asked me about any health problems I'd had while I was in the Army—anything that ached, pained, any injuries, anything I'd been treated for by Army medical personnel. I told him whatever I could recall, thinking that this was some sort of requirement before getting the hell out of ... Read More

  • Blindsided Abroad
    • Abstract: It has been said that an out-of-body experience has little lasting effects, but a near-death experience is capable of changing a person's life in the most dramatic ways. I had such an experience while visiting China in 2006, and can vouch for the truth in that saying. There were no warnings that I was up for a heart attack. Heart disease doesn't generally run in the family and my high blood pressure seemed to be under control by using the medicine issued by the VA pharmacy. However, it did happen and there was nothing I could do but go through the experience.It began on a hot, steamy summer night just three days before I was due to fly back to the U.S.A. My gracious hosts wanted to make sure I had a good send-off ... Read More

It wasn't until the weight of war—Kevlar helmets and vests, weapons and ammunition—was lifted that for the first time in his life, Blake's back hurt.Stateside, Blake was diagnosed with a service-related injury, degenerative disk disorder, a ten percent disability. Blake laughed about it at the time. His friends and family teased him about living off the government, soaking them for all they were worth. Even as the pain increased, we joked.

I was all set to go to Ohio State with a scholarship, when life changed.Change came in the form of a phone call from my congressman's office: I had been accepted at West Point. I put in my two weeks' notice—if I possess an inborn superpower, it is the ability to adapt to, accept, and adopt great change at a moment's notice. It was about to rain when my career as pizza-maker ended. Instead of going home, I drifted, and drove my mother's car through the night, listening to the radio. It is in my nature to wander.

I have not experienced what some other vets unfortunately have, " . . . , & the Ugly."After graduating from college and my 2 ½ year stint in the Peace Corps in Colombia, and during the early U.S. buildup in Vietnam, I volunteered for the US Army and the Army's Special Forces ("Green Berets"), received intensive one year training as a Special Forces Independent Duty Medic to function as a physician where there was none, and was in Vietnam for two one-year tours. My four years of service did not result in any need for health care after discharge in December, 1968.My experiences as an Independent Duty Medic in ... Read More

    • Abstract: In the military you are told what to do, however, when you fight for your choice as it applies to your own health, be prepared for a long fight. I was rather severely injured in an automobile accident driving to work one morning. What would follow were a grueling two years of therapy and a decision that I had to make with limited knowledge and experience to draw from. Like most young service members this was my first exposure to a medical system from the patient side. We all tried to remain positive even though we were immersed in a quagmire of pain and hurt, and like all things in the military we had each other to keep us going.Near the end of second year of my recovery from a crushed pelvis, something began to go ...

    • Abstract: As I pondered the narratives in this symposium, I remembered a marine saying to me: "Pain is weakness leaving the body." This marine prided himself on being able to endure and inure himself to anything as a sign of a rough and tough warrior. Warriors are known for sucking up and ignoring pain. Both the military and the civilian community enjoy imagining legends of an indestructible warrior. Accordingly, the ability and willingness to take on enormous levels of pain without flinching or complaining is the mark of true excellence and military genius. Such fables are strongly embedded in both the individual warrior's psyche and the collective consciousness of the United States. Legends from Achilles to Thor love ... Read More
