About

I’m a primary care physician and a new mom, both jobs that demand great attention, and bring rich experiences. I feel very lucky, and very tired. This blog is a place to share the wonder and effort of being responsible for other people’s well-being.

I love my job. All people are walking storybooks, and I have the privilege of listening to their stories. I am in awe of this access to the intimate details of people’s lives in the course of my day-to-day work, and I have great respect for their privacy, as well as a willingness to share details and reflections of my own life, in return.  All names and potentially identifying information (including physical descriptions and case details) have been altered to comply with HIPAA regulations, as well as to be nice and ethical.

  1. I just discovered your excellent blog and although I am not a doctor, I teach courses in Narrative Medicine in the English Department at the University of South Carolina Sumter. BTW, please do read my blog at http://www.allheartmatters.com. It has morphed from my personal story into narrative medicine.

    I wish to cross link with your site. I really like your recent post about the therapeutic benefits of writing.

    Best regards,
    James Borton
