PATIENT TESTIMONIALS—A NEW INTERACTIVE FORMAT FOR DIALOG BETWEEN SHOCK MEMBERS AND PATIENTS
Shock® publishes over 200 scientific papers each year related to the field of shock, including trauma and sepsis. While these excellent papers report objective data about these conditions, they do not provide clinical stories that humanize the disorders or provide the surviving patients’ perspective. This Commentary presents two patient stories that illustrate the relevance of patient perception in the context of research published in Shock®. The intent is to link compelling, memorable stories that highlight how recent scientific literature addresses clinical issues. Such an additional perspective may be used by the Shock readers to communicate more effectively with non-medical policy makers and the lay public to effectively justify funding for shock research.
