Note: This is a double-issue, as I was too sick last week to do much of anything.
Other Note: Posts from Friday, 10/20/17 will be included in next week’s post. I will be at a conference that entire day!
‘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. So without further ado…
Special Content…
Our friend and colleague Brian Fies (Mom’s Cancer), and his family, lost their home in the California fires this month. He has been chronicling this… experience, though that word feels too small, both in regular updates on Facebook and through this series of comics about discovering the destruction. You can see those comics here.
Numerous news outlets have picked up on Brian’s ability to capture the humanity often lost in the sheer devastation of disaster and have sought out interviews. As many of those links as I can find are just below.
