TAKING TURNS: STORIES FROM HIV/AIDS CARE UNIT 371: 8 (GRAPHIC MEDICINE)
Tapa blanda 15 marzo 2017 Author :

Descripcin del productoCrticasMK Czerwiecs tales of her nursing work on an AIDS unit chart a
remarkable episode in the history of medicine. Its a time of staggering loss but also remarkable
change. Through the lives and deaths of individual patients, written and drawn in documentary
detail, we see the power dynamic between doctor and patient begin to shift. When cure is not an
option, care takes on a new meaning.?Alison Bechdel, author of Fun HomeRather than the usual
medical tales of professional-minded strangers treating faceless victims, Czerwiecs vignettes
become about bonding intimately over suffering and death, watching the community be decimated
at the same time as mutual nursing was building connections. Some of the pages are heart-
wrenching, and the story has the potential to be supremely depressing, but Czerwiec wrings hope
from the honesty of her simple, cheerful cartooning style.?Publishers WeeklyWith simple, even
amateur panels and wise words, Czerwiec reveals a hospital at the heart of the AIDS crisis.
Working as a nurse on a unit for AIDS patients, she and her colleagues helped patients die,
celebrated life, and strove to combat the poorly understood disease. Cathartic and clinical, often
simultaneously.?Emilia Packard, Library Journal[Czerwiecs] chronicle reminds us that the era was
marked as much by courage and compassion as it was by the tragedy of lives lost too
soon.?Gordon Flagg, BooklistWith first-person perspectives, simple line-drawings, and straight-
forward language, the reader is able to place themselves within this important time of medical
history and absorb what occurred, and in this sense it does not only [prompt] the reader to
empathise with HIV/AIDS patients but with the health professional narrator, making a contribution
to the cultural role of graphic medicine as critique of the medical profession. It is not likely that one
will ever cry with such empathy over a medical scientific publication, but far more likely that one
will be brought to tears over four panels on a page in Czerwiecs book.?Adrian Bussone, The
Comics GridThe emotional honesty of the comic book is quintessential to the visceral experience
of Taking Turns?funny, terrifying and heartbreaking. As much as it informs the reader about the
devastation of HIV/AIDS, the book allows the reader to see the disease through the eyes of a
person who is literally on the front lines.?Gretchen Rachel Hammond, Windy City TimesFor health
care providers, the years that followed [the first official reporting of what would become the AIDS
epidemic] were a time of tremendous loss, requiring a new type of caregiving in the face of a
disease with no cure. MK Czerwiec, a nurse and the artist-in-residence at Northwestern
Universitys Feinberg School of Medicine, captures this tragic time with great reverence and
attention to detail.?Jessica Bylander, Health AffairsTaking Turns chronicles [Czerwiecs]
experiences on the evening shift at Unit 371 with patients and other caregivers, often told through
voices other than her own, some of the stories funny, some very touching, especially the stories
about patients with whom she became close before they died.?Hank Trout, AU Magazine:
America's AIDS MagazineAmong the takeaways one has after reading MK Czerwiecs graphic
novel Taking Turns is that even in the form of sequential art, the story of the early days of the HIV
epidemic is a visceral and heart wrenching experience.?Savas Abadsidis, Advocate / HIV PlusThe
authors deft handling of the multiplicity of relationships involved in patient care is the strength of
the book, and they are all represented throughout the narrative. Czerwiec does an excellent job of
showing how Unit 371s commitment to care facilitated a depth of intimacy between provider and
patient not often found in todays productivity-driven medical care.?Dr. Devlyn McCreight, Graphic
MedicineCzerwiecs role as a writer and illustrator of graphic medicine texts as well as one of the
primary theorists and advocates of the genre, means that this, her first single-author entry into the
form she helped establish is, like its author, doing the work of defining and practicing this new and
compelling literary and artistic form.?Ajuan Mance, Women's Review of BooksCzerwiec . . . does
much more than just provide younger readers with a history lesson. For example, she thoughtfully
explores what it means to be a healthcare provider. Czerwiec also explores the role of boundaries
between healthcare providers and their patients and the need for empathy. These topics, I believe,
would resonate with and be useful to students interested in medical or allied health careers.
Instructors can use the book as a way to begin these conversations.?David R. Wessner, Journal
of Microbiology & Biology EducationTaking Turns bears important witness to a specific moment in
the history of HIV/AIDS through the testimony of caregivers, patients, and volunteers. MK
Czerwiecs story also issues a gracious challenge: knowing that we all live in vulnerable bodies,
knowing that we will all take turns needing others and being needed, how can we make this one
life we have meaningful? This luminous graphic novel models how we can start: through creativity,
community, generosity, and vulnerability.?Ann Fox, Davidson CollegeTaking Turns is an important
work that takes the field of graphic medicine in new directions, both in terms of its object?the
philosophy and practices of a clinical unit dedicated to the care of people with AIDS in a particular
place and historical moment?and its approach?drawing on the comic artists own experience as a
nurse on the unit as well as her interviews with other practitioners and patients.?Lisa Diedrich,
author of Indirect Action: Schizophrenia, Epilepsy, AIDS, and the Course of Health
ActivismWhatever role we play in the health care system, this moving memoir reminds us to look
beyond our institutional affiliations and find our place in the wider human
community.?JAMACzerwiecs work here serves as a valuable reflection on and historical portrait of
the AIDS hysteria of the eighties and nineties in America. Combining her memories of that era with
her contemporary perspective shows, and makes it seem unbelievable, that a group of people
suffered so greatly because of their outsider status as patients with a transmittable, incurable,
deadly disease. Taking Turns shows us the cost.?The Oral History ReviewWhile graphic medicine
is still emerging as a communication tool, this book embodies the true essence of graphic
medicine and could serve as an exemplar for future publications of this kind.?Janice Phillips,
Doody's Review ServiceAll of the characters described in the memoir serve as a reminder of the
need for love, compassion, acceptance, and human connectivity when providing care to some of
societys most vulnerable and often ostracized patient populations.?Doody's Review
ServiceBiografa del autorMK Czerwiec is a nurse who uses comics to contemplate the
complexities of illness and caregiving. She is the artist-in-residence at Northwestern Universitys
Feinberg School of Medicine, co-curator of GraphicMedicine.org, and co-author of Graphic
Medicine Manifesto (Penn State, 2015).
Oral History Meets Autobiography I can't express how much I love this graphic novel! Despite the
tragic subject matter it is both innovative and emotive. It masterfully mixes oral history with
autobiography, taking a look at one of Chicago's main HIV unit through the eyes of doctors,
patients and the staff and volunteers who worked there. Then the author weaves her own heart-
felt stories into this historical documentation in a way that allows you to understand it from a
subjective and objective perspective. A really innovative way to use the comic medium. I lived
those amazing experiences as a volunteer on 371
