Abstract:In the face of the increasingly prominent ideological value-related issues in the global public health field, narrative medicine has emerged as the times require. Exploring the characteristics of traditional Chinese medicine in that the humanistic spirit runs through the diagnosis and treatment of diseases, so the “narrative” nature of traditional Chinese medicine is inherent. In diagnosis and treatment, traditional Chinese medicine practitioners record parallel medical records with the patient as the protagonist through the “four diagnoses combined with reference” and “seeing the micro-knowledge”, and combine pathogenesis, syndrome differentiation, and prescription elements to form an “invisible narrative” logic. Finally, both doctors and patients can truly understand and trust on the spiritual level. This fully embodies the three elements of narrative medicine: attention, reproduction and belonging. Based on this, the concept of “invisible narrative” in Chinese medicine is explored under the current medical situation in China, in order to provide a reference for narrative medicine to achieve the ultimate goal of doctor-patient empathy.
