When it comes to talking about our health - whether it be illness, disability, or even the prospect of death - things aren’t always easy...even for those who make a living in the medical field. Is there a better way? One nurse has turned to comics as a way to improve health communication, amplify voices of patients and families, and reflect on our own health. She joins us to talk about the field of 'graphic medicine.'
