[Corpora-List] Corpora of patient and clinician narratives

[Eric Atwell]

We've thought about trying to use PatientsLikeMe text data from
https://www.patientslikeme.com/ for corpus linguistics research,
but I haven't figured out a simple way to extract a corpus
  - if anyone else out there has managed to do this, please let me know.

Sammy Danso here at Leeds U has a corpus of about 10,000 Verbal Autopsies
from a vitamin-A field trail in Ghana: English narrative recollections 
of events leading up to a death of a baby and/or mother around childbirth.
After the death, a field worker went out to interview a near relative of
the deceased, and the interviews were sent back to clinicians at the
London School of Hygene and Tropical Medicine to analyse and decide
Cause of Death.  See our forthcoming paper:

Danso S et al. 2013. A Semantically Annotated Verbal Autopsy Corpus for
Automatic Analysis of Cause of Death. ICAME Journal of the International
Computer Archive of Modern English, vol. 37 (forthcoming)
