As many people know, my talks are big on repeated images: a (borrowed) ven diagram to explain how the elements of evidence based practice combine in true informed consent*; a heart to remind people that with all we do it is about ’empathy first’ ; a pause button to embed the idea, the ethic really, of reflective practice. I’ve no talent for well rendered art – rather, I hope that the beauty of this is that maybe my use of crudely sketched stick figures is less intimidating and , I hope, conveys useful ideas.
Still, it is wonderful to learn about the growing field of graphic medicine, where people far more skilled are building a community with a mission to leverage the advantages of comics in health care. A central figure, Dr. Ian Williams, recently published the graphic novel Bad Doctor. It is both intimate and accessible, defining of the genre.

And please let me know if my own graphics are of use – see my first graphic novella, Love & Potions, about a young couple, both with autism, seeing a psychiatrist. It’s posted, free of course, on circlestretch.com.
