Where this comes from

Abstract

A patient, long before becoming the subject of medical scrutiny is, at first simply a storyteller, a narrator of suffering-a traveler who has visited the kingdom of the ill. "To relieve an illness one must begin, then, by understanding the story." The Emperor of All Maladies; Siddhartha Mukherjee.
