Hive mind — can anyone suggest a comics-based narrative that describes or shows a confidentiality dilemma in a healthcare context? Preferably something written in the first person.
Spearheaded by GMIC board members @alexthomas2 and @mjg15, we now present to you these 7 comics for consideration in advance of tomorrow's #GraphMed2022 panel on the project!

@MedEdChat#mededchat I've been using comics to teach medical students about the patient's experience of illness for quite some time. The medium lends itself to the development of empathy between the reader and artist, and is a great way to learn. https://t.co/qyVwf5O1mg
It was @llpoole, @DementiaMag’s founder, who suggested the idea of a “lived experience” #comicstrip about #dementia. That experiment led to so many good conversations within my mom's healthcare team. Here's hoping it will spark ideas among @TEDTalks viewers. Thanks Lisa!!
One of the few good things to come out of the lockdown last year was @distant_connect – a collective of artists from Europe, the US and China who met during the 2020 lockdown and have so far produced two zines about life during the pandemic with plans for more coming soon.
If you are a current or former health professional student who has taken a course on comics and medicine, we'd like to interview you as part of a research project. Please see the attached flyer for details.
@GraphicMedicine Please be in touch if you are (or were) a medical student or other health profession student who has taken a course on graphic medicine/comics during your professional education
