This Week in Graphic Medicine (5/3/19)

This Week in Graphic Medicine in a Stranger Things Stylized Font
‘This Week in Graphic Medicine’ highlights relevant articles 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…


Matthew’s Pick of the Week…

No special pick from me this week, but an announcement. For the foreseeable future, TWIGM will not include an attempt to capture all of the relevant tweets from the week(s). The honest answer to why is that I simply do not have the time to keep up with the output – it has grown significantly since beginning these posts. Based on some very unscientific polling and discussions, while this is indeed a loss for the posts, I don’t believe it to be the primary reason for their use. Indeed, you can still find tweets ON Twitter since it doesn’t drop them off over time (as of this post). I will still occasionally include SOME tweets, particularly if there is a long discussion happening, but they will be marked as such as links.

I hope in the future to be able to include tweets again and if you have ideas about doing so (including volunteering to do the Wakelets), please let me know.
