The practitioner has traditionally removed their own narrative which includes perspectives and bias relating to the encounter. The absence of this practitioner narrative in published case reports reflects an incomplete picture of the therapeutic relationship and can directly impact the applicability to clinical practice. Although guidelines on publishing case reports are focused on providing complete and transparent information from which to inform research design and allow aggregation for data analysis, the physician's narrative involves the awareness of bias, distractions and recognition of shared experiences which influence the therapeutic relationship. In this paper we propose a three-phase process culminating in the inclusion of a physician narrative in published case reports to better reflect the humanity present in patient care.
