See One, Do One, Teach One - The Art of Becoming a Doctor: A Graphic Memoir

In 2004 Grace Farris began medical school with visions of ER and Scrubs. Across cadaver labs, operating rooms and lecture halls, she embarked on the road to becoming a doctor. In her graphic memoir debut, Grace looks back on her journey through medical school and residency. Through candid comics, readers experience the box of bones Grace takes home to study, the smell of formaldehyde that emanates from the cadaver she dissects, the endless mnemonics and "-ologies" she must learn and the racism and sexism that confront her in the healthcare system. As she works gruelling, thirty-hour shifts and meets with patients from all walks of life, she discovers moments of joy, too: making her first correct diagnosis and, when she least expects it, falling in love.
See One, Do One, Teach One is a vivid portrait of the human side of healthcare and what binds patient and doctor together.
