In this paper, a new generic development in the medical case report will be presented as a useful tool in the broadly understood medical context. A case report describes new diseases or their novel aspects, and its new interactive type additionally allows readers to comment on published cases and features patients’ first person accounts. This development may become a useful tool in the teaching of medical English, especially in terms of terminology and frequently used expressions, in medical training, educating through case-based teaching, as well as in professional development, through incorporating the patient into professional communication and emphasising doctor’s reflection.
