From Mis(h)adra. Listening to a patient is about more than fact gathering. You have to understand their emotions too. #GraphicMedicine pic.twitter.com/VztskyTN4D

This is from Mis(h)adra, so about epilepsy, but this exact conversation is one I had with myself when my chronic pain condition was at its worst. I was 18.

So much of who I am, how I view the world, has been shaped by that moment. It never leaves you. #GraphicMedicine pic.twitter.com/OWva2SfOmD

As a whole, the #GraphicMedicine community spends little time looking at the superhero genre, but I want to put this out there: you’ll be remiss if you don’t read @TomKingTK and @MitchGerads‘s Mister Miracle. pic.twitter.com/Zs16tr4bx9

#GraphicMedicine / The Behavior Modification Squad!… is a really creepy idea for a superhero team if you ask me. This is from a comic given to potential participants in the program described in this article: https://t.co/NHiM1UeJgq pic.twitter.com/UUeDyoOcZm

Finally landing on excluding them from our review because CSC’s they are closer to a diagnostic tool than an educational use of comics.

Sharing this openly because I’m curious if anyone else has a take on it from a #GraphicMedicine perspective.

“…the communication and educational strategies that were remembered best by women in the project were the cartoon novel story books. However, this was due not so much to their scientific content, but to their efforts to present facts within the context of everyday life events.”

— Matthew Noe (@NoetheMatt) December 21, 2017

I’m a little frustrated (okay, a lot) that I can’t seem to track down an example of this “cartoon novel story book”. To be honest, I’m having to assume that word sludge means “comic” but it might not be…
