Summary: On March 1st, the National Library of Medicine celebrated the launch of their new exhibit and collection: "Graphic Medicine: Ill-Conceived and Well Drawn” which was guest curated by cartoonist & mental health activist Ellen Forney.. <br> <br> It was my great pleasure to speak with Dr. Patricia Brennan, the first nurse and first woman to serve as Director of the National Library of Medicine. We discuss graphic medicine, its importance, and its applications. Hope you enjoy listening to this conversation as much as I enjoyed having it.
