Friend and fellow cartoonist Chris Patchell has been teaching medical students the benefits of drawing graphic novels.*
Patch's book, I put the Can in Cancer: A Journey Through Pictures chronicles the time he spent as a patient at Jefferson Hospital, focusing on how he continued to draw on a daily basis.
Now he's sharing what he learned from the experience with the students at Thomas Jefferson University's Sidney Kimmel Medical College.
One of his student's comics is the subject of this article at PhillyVoice.
