Join Countway Library for an Author Series event with Grace Farris, MD, where she will discuss her debut comics memoir, See One, Do One, Teach One, which reflects on Grace's medical education experiences and invites us to consider the healthcare system, and toll it extracts, from patient and provider alike. Q&A and book signing to follow.

Light refreshments will be provided. 

About the Book:

Now a celebrated cartoonist and practicing physician, in 2004 Grace Farris began med school with visions of ER and Scrubs. Across cadaver labs, operating rooms, and lecture halls, she embarked on the arduous road to becoming a doctor.

In her graphic memoir debut, Grace looks back on her journey through medical school and residency in her iconic palate of pastels. Through candid comics, readers experience the box of bones Grace must take home to study, the overwhelming 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 grueling, thirty-hour shifts and meets with patients from all walks of life, she discovers moments of joy, too: making her first correct diagnosis, matching at a top residency program, and, when she least expects it, falling in love. At the end of her residency, Grace takes on two new roles—attending physician and mother.

Touching and tender, See One, Do One, Teach One is a vivid portrait of the human side of healthcare and what binds patient and doctor together. (From the publisher.)

About the Author:

Grace Farris, MD, is a physician in Austin, Texas, and author–illustrator of Mom Milestones and More Than a Millions. She is a contributor to Cup of Jo and NPR Health’s Shots, and her comics have appeared in the New York Times, Vogue, and in art exhibitions in the United States, Ireland, and Austria.

I am so excited to welcome Grace Farris, MD back to the Longwood area on April 8th for a @countwaylibrary.bsky.social Author Series Event for her new book, See One, Do One, Teach One - The Art of Becoming a Doctor: A Graphic Memoir!

I hope you'll join us!

Right main bronchial intubation. The ET tube is in the right main bronchus, w/ subsequent atelectasis left lung. You can “cure” the patient by retracting the ET tube proximal to the carina.

Today's case: S/P cosmetic fat grafting procedure & dyspnea. X-ray: mild diffuse consolidation. CTA: No pulmonary thrombus w/ diffuse ground-glass opacity due to fat embolism syndrome. Take that all of you who say you can’t see GGO on plain film!

Put together a case by looking at corners of the CXR. There’s a right upper lobe nodule, confirmed on CT. Pathologic fracture right distal humerus (arrow R humerus film) indicates the nodule is cancer, metastatic to bone.

This week, I'll post daily cases. Today: Septal (Kerley B) lines. These lines most often occur as a result of pulmonary edema as in this case & are best seen in the basilar lung periphery, extending perpendicularly to the pleural surface.
