‘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 Note
This post marks the 58th edition of This Week and with it comes some exciting news: beginning next week, these posts will appear directly on the Graphic Medicine blog. This is something that MK (aka Comic Nurse) and I have been discussing for some time and I’m glad that we have finally got it going! You can read a little more about the details here: http://www.graphicmedicine.org/intromatthew.
I am making sure to announce this loudly so that those of you who are subscribed to this blog, particularly those who see it via email, are aware. During October, the updates will be cross-posted, but after that, they will appear only on the Graphic Medicine blog. You will want to update your subscription accordingly.
