To meet the goals of narrative medicine, I was required to obtain in-depth knowledge and underlining of the patient’s medical condition (Charon, 2006). This was accomplished by building confidence, competence, and patient-physician trust. Additionally, I had to arrange for individual meetings with Elise to identify mutual blind spots to facilitate my role as a healer. Nonetheless, despite these activities, it was important relaying to the patient the need for the use of powerful therapeutic interventions in controlling the condition. As a  result, my ability to absorb, interpret and apply narrative medicine in providing care was improved significantly. With these points in mind, I have developed my comprehension of the role of the caregiver as it has developed self-knowledge, self-criticism, and manner contentment.
