Imprinting Care and the Loss of Patient Narrative: Creation and Standardization of Medical Records.

CONCLUSION: Through this artistic work, medical paradigms become realized through paper borders. With ink, lead, and historical manufacturing, a world view is re-created. Such a marriage of medicine and art challenges the static interpretations of paper tools as only ends to the objectification of patients; instead, a tradition of reconfiguring the medical body as a thing dissolving into objectification becomes apparent. This trend continues now through the lack of narrative balancing a person's health care experience and his/her medical record. PMID: 31314723 [PubMed - in process]
