Ian McWhinney’s eighth principle - the family physician attaches importance to the subjective aspects of medicine – is arguably the one most open to interpretation. Join CFP Editor Dr. Nick Pimlott and Associate Editor Dr. David Ponka for this episode as they interview Dr. Amita Dayal. Dr. Dayal contributed a reflection on McWhinney’s eighth principle entitled “Building a stronger relationship” to the October issue of the journal (https://www.cfp.ca/content/cfp/72/10/603.full.pdf). Together they discuss Dr. Dayal’s first encounter with Ian McWhinney’s work, her journey to practising in Port Perry, Ontario, the importance of continuity and connection, and how the practice of narrative-based medicine has helped her in her work.
