Could the novel fulfil a role in the neurologist's daily clinical practice? A good book or story can indeed make the neurology patient's experiences clearer, both for the patient and for the doctor. The novel is no longer just an end-product or form of art, but a method for better understanding disease and experiences. Several neurological examples are given, such as migraine, Parkinson's disease and ALS. The narrative opens a perspective on disease 'from the inside'. Neurology lends itself to a narrative approach, because it is primarily a field to which the patient's story is central.
这部小说能在神经科医生的日常临床实践中发挥作用吗？一本好书或一个好故事确实能让神经科患者以及医生更清楚地了解患者的经历。小说不再仅仅是一种最终产品或艺术形式，而是一种更好地理解疾病和经历的方法。文中给出了几个神经学方面的例子，如偏头痛、帕金森病和肌萎缩侧索硬化症。这种叙述从“内部”开启了对疾病的一种视角。神经学适合采用叙述的方法，因为它主要是以患者的故事为核心的领域。
