imagine any day in the
consultation with our general practitioner
You’ve been with pain for four months
head
terrible in the morning our pain
starts in the right area and then it
generalizes invades all your head
even hours before you start as to see
blurred with the right eye
a kind of little lights the case is that
it is not strange what you have had
other times in which you have felt
Nausea Vomiting terrible and so
the noise bothers them a lot and
the light on the other side
you are going to have the doctor after
having heard them have written down this
history have made them a series of
questions and having explored concludes that
your type of unilateral headache
pulsatile with photophobia fonofobia
preceded by visual work is framed
within the diagnosis of migraine
with gold aura as you stay more
go panorama no and what do you do to get
home without getting home now what
we have everything very at hand we do not look in
internet and we found a cluster of
information that as little generates us
confusion but depending on our
personal history a greater or lesser
anguish since its origins medicine
and from the hand of the illustration
anatomists like vesalio or artists like
Leonardo da Vinci made tremendous
works of art in detail
awesome for the time
Current thinking as examples
well in the head
ramón and cajal with its forest neurons or
frank net is that medical students
he has not used in his atlas in the first
year of career or one more example
close to a doctor gómez forest
professor of the faculty of medicine
valladolid whose illustrations we follow
using today in class
good with
you can see the illustration being
long a very useful tool
for the learning of doctors and
his disciples but now imagine that
your doctor rather than soldiers
68 of hollow words has dropped
accompany your explanation of this
image
well I think that at this point
javier felt that I am a student of
medicine and the fact is that since childhood
I like a lot to draw and according to
growing this hobby accompany me
since a few years ago I am interested in
comic format and the first ones that
draw were about theater and poetry
however one day after a
College class
neurophysiology in which the
teachers told us about a
discovery according to which was going to be
possible to transfer brain functions
from one hemisphere to another
to me that seems to me of science fiction
and decided to dig a little deeper and read
the full article
At that time I was reading a
book that was going to be my first
discovery of graphic novel about
neurocom icc science that had a great
influence on what my idea was going to be
that was to translate graphically the
article in a comic book and that’s how it was like
born gray matter
that was my first comic about medicine
and with him I tried so much
classmates like anybody who
they would find it amazing the idea could
understand it without needing to read the
whole article but mostly one
the most important thing was that the
afraid to approach an idea apparently
complex by the format in which we are
presents to this drawing they followed
others to remove a little seriousness to
my university jobs like
basic tools in attention
primary
I have special love because it arises
after my first practice of
the race and that sums up a bit the
different steps a meeting has
Clinic between the doctor and the patient
cortical patch the first comic that
draw half the wonderful opportunity
to meet the research team
who is in the hospital of
paraplegics of toledo and this arises from
one of those most important studies
How good is how the
transcranial magnetic stimulation
can decrease excitability
neuronal
that’s how I stayed
this one starts has its importance
new infections because the last one the
neurological exam that summarizes step by
step with visual metaphors the
different steps to follow the
time to do this kind of
exploration that I think is a bit
what students are most afraid of
of Medicine
little by little according to boyle drawing I think
and I think it’s important to read about
of the work of other authors because
When you have an idea, always
it is necessary to think if there is someone in
another corner of the world that is being
dedicating to the same thing and that’s how
I discover the medicine movement
graphic that little by little is being
introducing our country by the hand
of a great team like the day before the
couple cortical committee had its
importance because I thought that if not
they take such a literal format
rigid it was going to be impossible to get to
you the most readers have sounded
super weird word that has come loose
in is comparing with the first comic
what I did, I realize that it is
necessary to support visual metaphors to
Character mode as for example
these two I’m going to present drill bit is a
elephant representing the motor area
of the wta and that cross of a hemisphere
to another by the path of the corpus callosum
which is a time of neurons that connects
our two cerebral hemispheres or
Berni representing a parrot
sensitive area of speech and that
communicates by the previous one for some
neurons that is represented here
like a phone that’s called
arc-shaped fascicle in fact they are
responsible for who is talking and
right now because they represent networks
neuronal in charge of the work as well
I think your conversation
phone now for long
arrived at this point is when I think
in the illustration rather than as a
tool to visualize processes that
it was what had been doing throughout
of the history of medicine and what without
realizing I was doing with my
comics I think about how the comics me
can help bring me closer to you
the time to report what is
happening over your processes and I think
that the most useful and practical is
ask to you and that is how
says a survey in which he asked
about the most frequent doubts that today
it arises when we go to your doctor
of header in it asked about
well, doubts about chronic diseases
in the image that you have of a doctor or
the degree of concern that leaves us
the information that you find in
Internet
the results were that of all the
surveyed when asked if
you usually look for information before or
after going to visit your
doctor
a large majority says yes to
that great majority half do it before
well I’m going to consult the doctor google to
Sometimes something should take the pill and
I meditate the visit
in second place are those who after
of going to see your doctor
that many questions remained and
they have to search on their own and in
third place are those that fixes or if
he relies so much on his doctor that once
have decided to go to consultation
well I’m going to look for something on my own
I’m not going to take any surprises and now
you can go with the diagnosis better
on the other hand asked about the degree
of worry or anguish that can
generate this information
we found on the internet only a fourth
part could safely say that
he has never felt anguished and of the
three fourths remaining the great
majority ends up returning to consultation and
the doctor ended up solving his
doubts in a large part of the occasions
in the last part of the survey leaves
an open question for him to
I expected they responded expressly in the
adjectives that have the image that
they have a doctor and from this we can
draw two opposite poles
the image of a very proud doctor
prepared academically but unable
of getting the patient what is
going on able to communicate it for those
technicalities word children and in the other
side the image of an empathetic doctor
with the ability to accompany and
empathize with the patient and reassure
in your process
I think that patients do not have
what to believe what we can not
understand and I include myself because I never
we know when we have to be in the
On the other hand, this need for information
is real and especially about the
why of diseases and
treatments and I think it makes sense
that this information is adapted to
our degree of knowledge because if
we will not end up looking for our
Web
and all this will complicate our
disease process because we are lives
with individual contexts
imagine that you go to the doctor and have
a visual tool explains our
process that tells our story with
comic book characters is a good
tool that can help
establish a bridge between this image
haughty we can have from a doctor and
the patient is saying a new type
of relationship based on empathy the
Clarity and understanding
thank you very much
