Lisa Sanders

Lisa Sanders is an American physician, medical writer, and Yale faculty member whose work focuses on diagnosis, patient stories, and clinical reasoning. She is best known for the New York Times Magazine’s “Diagnosis” column and the book Every Patient Tells a Story, which helped inspire House, M.D.

传记与作者历程

Lisa Sanders built an uncommon career by moving from newsroom storytelling to bedside diagnosis without abandoning either craft. Raised in South Carolina, she studied English at the College of William & Mary, wrote for The Flat Hat, and began her professional life in television journalism, working at ABC’s Good Morning America and later at CBS News, where she won an Emmy for Hurricane Hugo coverage in Charleston. Medicine became the decisive turn. Reporting on health had already drawn her in, and an encounter with a physician saving a man’s life helped confirm the shift. After Columbia’s post-baccalaureate premedical program, she entered Yale School of Medicine and graduated in 1997, bringing a reporter’s eye for detail into clinical practice.
