I read an article/paper on how a student who studied in the US and went back to Canada to use what she learned about DS and how she can use DS as a nurse. She has had several conferences with patient's who have survived breast cancer. Her idea is to compose a variety of DS that survivors can look at. Some of the DS would deal with "What to expect after surgery" ,"What to expect during treatment" and so on. All of the stories would be of actual patients that are going through it or have already finished treatment. I think this is a great service that she can do for her patients. To give them something to watch others in their own situation that could express not only in words but by their own facial expressions of what they are going through. Here DS is used for patient education but also used as a support system.

I reread this article and on google it was under DS articles and in the article it talked about this student who wanted to use storytelling for patient education. Now that I have reread it, I believe it is storytelling and not really DS.
