‘This week in #graphicmedicine’ highlights relevant articles (and tweets) about comics in medicine published during a the week (Saturday – Friday). Articles are typically presented without commentary, with credit given to those who flagged them up where possible. So without further ado…
Special Content
Hey @GraphicMedicine folks, check out my students tweeting about Hyperbole and a Half at #110fun and #dauth until tomorrow evening.
— Leah Misemer (@lsmisemer) September 6, 2017
I encourage you all to check out the hashtags Leah indicated in her tweet above. I didn’t pull many of them into this post for a variety of reasons, but her students discussion of comics is wonderful. Particularly because these are folks who are nearly entirely new to the concept of graphic medicine and sometimes that unfocused eye can remind us why we all start thinking about this field in the first place.

Technically, more sketchnoting than comics, but that second image definitely makes me think comics (I love puzzle panels)

And this one hits on a problem with #GraphicMedicine research: the comic is simply PART OF an intervention. Impossible to pull out impact.
