This poem satirizes physicians’ reverence of the SOAP note as a foundation of written communication, highlights some of its shortcomings, and also explores how deeply formatting choices can shape the way physicians view their patients.  </p>}, number={2}, journal={Ars Medica}, author={Zhang, Grace}, year={2020}, month={Nov.}, pages={2} }
