Two medical-humanities pieces: a cartoon metaphor of weapon racks and shields for treatment choice ("CANCER WHICH ONE?"), and a portrait-and-text collage on illness. Good openers for medical humanities and doctor–patient communication.
The Story Behind the Image
The comic language of a weapon rack and shields puts the question of treatment choice directly onto the picture — 'CANCER WHICH ONE?' hangs overhead; the other piece uses a collage of figures and words to lay out the tangle of emotions inside illness. Both avoid medical diagrams and give the frame to the sick person themselves.
Scope note The metaphor is not medical advice; year not recorded.
