This Week in Graphic Medicine (9/7/18)
‘This Week in Graphic Medicine’ highlights relevant articles (and tweets) about comics in medicine published during the week (Saturday – Friday). Links are typically presented without commentary, unless clarification of relevance is necessary, with credit given to those who flagged them up where possible.

As you know, I took a break over the past month (more on why here), but now This Week… Read More
This Week in Graphic Medicine (7/6/18 & 7/13/18)
Note: I feel I must apologize for the erratic schedule of these posts of late. I’ve had a fair bit of travel, but it is mostly because of stress in my personal life with moving.

So without further ado… Matthew’s Pick of the Week… This week, I’m pointing you to a particular comic from The Nib: Refugee to Detainee: How the U.S. is Deporting Those Seeking a Safe Haven. This is stretching the traditional definition of medicine or health to include human rights, but it is precisely the human rights element that… Read More
