Get into med school in the graphic memoir 'See One, Do One, Teach One'

For most people, knowledge of what life on the job is like for healthcare workers comes primarily from two limited vantage points: watching television shows and experiencing their own patient care. The same is true even for many people who eventually become doctors and nurses, as Grace Farris reminds us early on in her sensitive, energetic graphic memoir, See One, Do One, Teach One: The Art of Becoming a Doctor. "Before I started medical school," she writes, "I was completely unprepared." But, as she shows in her new book, once someone has switched over to becoming a professional healthcare worker, a whole new set of issues presents itself. At that point, it can be difficult to toggle from patient to patient –- and to remember what it was even like to be the person receiving care.
