“I came to explain to a niece or a teenager that she is living with her mother or her father in the CTI? It’s difficult. But, what happens if the access material to the community with a more sensitive message, which is the text with the graphic? ”. With this inquest and with the impulse that his passion for dibujo fue that the medical intensifier Arturo Briva empezó ‘n desarrollar CTI points.
The peculiarity of these points is the protagonism that holds the doubts to explain, in this case, how an Intensive Care Center works. It’s what is known as Graphic Medicine, a move that has begun in the United States some years ago and that in Spain is catching on to the news.
“In Uruguay I find that there are many colleagues who use the graphic part, above all for the teaching, but there is no group formed with respect”, says Briva, who defines the book as one of his visions.
It’s a very chic wine and it’s his father’s regalaran one of the famous courses on correspondence that are announced in the magazines of Patoruzú or Isidoro. “It was very rustic, very simple and with a technical quality that could not be compared to any real debugging course. But he was a super big one ”, he said and confessed to learning more about others.
If it is defined as a prison – “what I have done to my taste and I have some friends” -, we have three years to be more interested in the application of the graphics in development medicine in Uruguay. “I work with the language. Do not do the debugging and delete the text, just keep it running. It is not just a matter of history, ”said the teacher and investigator.
Empezó with an objective very simple: treat to transmit an idea written that it is the most concrete possible and reforzarla with images. “Above all, the wording is exactly the same as the text that appears in the search box for the image to complement the image,” he said in detail about what he found on his Twitter account (@arturobriva).
Serve much to appeal to familiar characters or make reference to some movie because it engages more in the recipient, maximum if it is treated by a public to drive the medicine. “In addition to liking the character, it has been shown here and has given it a little more attention than anyone has ever done before. Mechanical ventilation”, Dijo.
This is another point, the graphical medicine can be used by both professionals and the general public. Hoy, for example, considers that it can be very useful to communicate information about the COVID-19. “Some people talk about intensive care and COVID with a totally wrong vision. If he commands a super technical message and hopes that this message, in order to prepare the 5% of Uruguay, he will leave the rest, voy by the truck. Cambio, a message that is more sensitive to the burden of information but not in quality, is very important for society in general “, remarked.
For such a firm that graphic medicine can be a very powerful tool in the time of communication, without having to substitute a text or a video, its complementary. “Some people want us to communicate to the public about the obligation to approve. If with this kind of herring there is a little more essential medicine of medicine is a goulash ”, added.
Graphic novels
Briva account that the graphic medicine also develops the idea of having a kind of romanas with some pathology or life as a point of departure. It’s more compelling that the intensifier imagines that the powder can make more adelante.
In Uruguay, who realizes that what he does is a lot neurocirujano and teacher Fernando Martínez. Brief History Illustrated by Neurociencias is an initiative that is joining forces with its Argentine colleague Luis Domitrovic.
Luis is a neurosurgeon and radiologist, developing medicine and tremendously talented and intelligent. He won awards for painting and painting ”, Martínez said of his friend, who was a fan of Spain and who had the opportunity to make caricatures with texts without a doctor.
A vignette in which Don Quixote and Sancho Panza luchaban against windmills in style Transformators see the saver so that the printers call the graphic to inform about the history of the specialty. Así, Martínez encapsulates the texts. Domitrovic revises and searches the illustrative form.
Venían a buen rhythm has it that four are obliged to take responsibility for the pandemic.
Hemos hecho desde el inicio de la historia hasta Claudio Galeno. When we take time out of the two of us to get started, ”Martínez said.
Domitrovic posted on his blog (ladvic.com/blog) and Martínez shared his material on Twitter (@fermartneuro) ya través de la Sociedad Uruguaya de Neurocirugía.
“Me han dicho ‘che, que bueno que está eso, es entretenido’ o ‘yo lo leo con mi nieta porque le gustan los dibujitos y es mi forma de ir introduciendola en la medicina'”, relató el neurocirujano sobre las repercusiones una initiative that appeals to the public in general and that, in the end, does not include technical language salvo when it has no more remedy.
The repercussions have been very good and include many colleagues who are eager to collaborate.
From his teaching role, Martínez evaluates that this is a very good way to transmit knowledge because he wants to learn more. “I would like to see Aristotle or the Hippocrates as a caricature and not as a very circus aspect of any city he knows. I’m entertained, I’ve freed up the cabeza and I’m allowed to do the work of another form, ”commented El País. But what I like most is the revolutions I receive, things like “never in my life does neuroscience lead me, but as far as I am concerned”.
Neurociencia in illustrations
“Our objective is contrasted with text and wording, the most important historical principles that mark the neuroscientists, as well as the most deceptive and supportive characters that hiccup in the knowledge of the nervous system”, said in his introduction of Brief History Illustrated by the Neurociencias los neurocirujanos Fernando Martínez y Luis Domitrovic, a uruguayo and an argentino que practican la Graphic Medicine.
