Timeline

1956

Lisa Sanders (born July 24, 1956) is an American physician, medical author and journalist, and associate professor of internal medicine and education at Yale School of Medicine.

Lisa Sanders was born on July 24, 1956.

She grew up in South Carolina.

As a child, she loved reading about Arthur Conan Doyle’s fictional detective, Sherlock Holmes.

She majored in English at the College of William & Mary, writing for the school paper, The Flat Hat, and tending bar at a local tavern.

1979

She graduated in 1979.

After graduation, she was hired by ABC News.

Sanders won an Emmy for her reporting on Hurricane Hugo for CBS News.

But she began to grow tired of working in the newsroom environment.

As a journalist, she was particularly drawn to stories about medicine and, after seeing a fellow journalist (who was also a medical doctor) save someone's life after a boating accident, she decided to pursue a career in the field.

She soon enrolled in the postbaccalaureate pre-medicine program at Columbia University to fulfill the requirements for medical school admission.

Sanders has joked that she was accepted by Yale School of Medicine in a slot reserved for "weirdos"—entering at age 36, she was considered a "non-traditional" student, but one presumably enriched by life experience and work in other fields.

She graduated from Yale as the oldest member of her medical school class and went on to complete residency there, ultimately serving as chief resident.

She then joined Yale's Department of Internal Medicine and became an assistant clinical professor of medicine at the School of Medicine, teaching in the Primary Care Residency Program at Waterbury Hospital.

She also became an attending physician at Yale-New Haven Hospital.

One day, a friend of hers, who worked for The New York Times Magazine, asked her "What can doctors write?"

2002

In 2002, she began writing a column for The New York Times called Diagnosis, that covered medical mystery cases.

She is an attending physician at Yale-New Haven Hospital.

Her column was the inspiration for the television series House M.D., with Yale-New Haven Hospital serving as the model for Princeton-Plainsboro Hospital in the series.

Sanders worked as a consultant on the show.

The conversation sparked an idea and, in 2002, she began writing a column for The New York Times called Diagnosis, that covered medical mystery cases.

She finds her stories from her own patients as well as from those of her colleagues.

2004

The column was the inspiration for the 2004 television series House M.D., and the fictional Princeton-Plainsboro Hospital was fashioned after Yale-New Haven Hospital.

She served as a consultant on the show, coming up with diseases for the episodes and correcting medical errors in the scripts.

2009

In 2009, she published the book Every Patient Tells a Story: Medical Mysteries and the Art of Diagnosis , about the diagnostic value of patient interviews and their neglect relative to tests.

2010

In 2010, she began crowdsourcing the diagnoses of her cases after hearing the story of an academic who successfully invited members of a medical website to diagnose the cause of his fevers.

Additionally, in her column for the Well Blog column, called Think Like a Doctor, she posts symptoms to illnesses for her readers to solve before posting the diagnosis the following day.

Producer Scott Rudin, in conjunction with the production company Lightbox, approached the Times with an idea for a documentary series.

2018

Beginning in April 2018, Sanders and the show's producers began publishing unsolved medical mysteries to the column, inviting input from the public.

2019

In 2019, Netflix aired the program Diagnosis, featuring a selection of cases from her column.

Thousands responded, and provided stories and content for the Netflix show Diagnosis, which debuted on August 16, 2019.

Aside from her column, Sanders has also published books.

Her 2019 book, Diagnosis: Solving the Most Baffling Medical Mysteries, is a compilation of more than 50 stories from her column.

She likes to rise early when writing—at 4:00 AM to work on her books and at 5:00 AM for her column, saying it is the time of day when she is "smartest."

She is married to the writer Jack Hitt, and the couple has two children.
