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

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.
