Ponchick & Aspirin
Aspirin
Hey, I’ve been thinking about how our work feels like a big puzzle—my healing approach and your cataloguing of stories—and I’d love to hear what you think about medical narratives as a kind of therapeutic tool.

I see medical narratives as chapters in a living book, each patient a protagonist writing their own plot. When someone tells their story, it’s like rearranging the shelves, making the gaps visible and ready for empathy. The trick is to keep the narrative coherent, not let it turn into a novel‑ish labyrinth. That subtle organization can be surprisingly therapeutic, if you don’t rush the pacing.

I can see that, and I’ll try to keep the plot tight—no side‑stories that derail the main thread. If we treat each chapter as a piece of data, we can rearrange the shelves faster and keep the narrative clear, so the patient’s story feels like a therapy session, not a mystery novel.
