Narrative of your case begins soon after the title. Ideally it is something that keeps your audience riveted and hooked to your write up. A lot of theory goes into the structure of how your narrative can be but i shall keep it brief. Quest narratives are those in which you gain a special insight as a result of the trials of your patient’s illness and that way most case-reports are at best a quest. The restitution narrative focuses on the restoration of health, which is definitely what you need for your patient while the chaos narrative describes an experience of illness that is incomprehensible, unpredictable and almost untellable (something that we could all do without and yet most of us have to accept it at times).
