See One, Do One, Teach One: The Art of Becoming a Doctor: A Graphic Memoir — Grace Farris

From a popular cartoonist comes a wry graphic memoir that traces the (sometimes harrowing) journey through medical school and residency.Bridging her passion for illustration with her vocation as a doctor, Grace Farris has built a devoted audience for her comics storytelling. In the tradition of physician–memoirs by Suzanne Koven, Sandeep Jauhar, and Henry Marsh, See One, Do One, Teach One chronicles, through her inviting, colorful artwork, Grace’s path through medical school and residency. Readers watch Grace dissect her first cadaver, slog through numerous “–ologies,” and confront the heartbreaking realities of caring for patients. As she works grueling thirty–hour shifts and encounters patients of all ages, Grace also discovers moments of joy: making her first correct diagnosis, finding kindred mentors, and, when she least expects it, falling in love. Intimate and insightful, See One, Do One, Teach One captures the human side of healthcare, an empowering and entertaining addition to the conversation around modern medicine.
