ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Graphic medicine

Okay kiddo, have you ever seen a comic book? Graphic medicine is kind of like a comic book, but it tells stories about people's health and medical experiences.

Just like how comic books have pictures and words that help tell a story, graphic medicine has illustrations and text that help explain things like how our bodies work or what it's like to go to the doctor.

Sometimes, these stories can be about a specific person's experience, like going through cancer treatment. Other times, they can be more general, like teaching kids how to properly wash their hands to stay healthy.

Graphic medicine can be helpful because it can make learning about health and medicine more interesting and engaging. Plus, it can help people feel less alone in their medical experiences by showing them that other people have gone through similar things.

So, next time you see a comic book, remember that there are comics out there that can teach you about staying healthy too!
