See One, Do One, Teach One: The Art of Becoming a Doctor: A Graphic Memoir

byGrace Farris

Physician and cartoonist Grace Farris depicts medical school and residency in a graphic memoir about the strange, exhausting process of becoming a doctor. Clinical rotations, overnight shifts, difficult conversations, mistakes, small victories, and encounters with patients reveal the emotional education hidden beneath formal training. Humor and drawings make the culture of medicine accessible while preserving its uncertainty and moral weight. Farris examines how trainees learn by watching, doing, and teaching even when they feel unprepared, and how professional competence develops alongside empathy, humility, teamwork, and responsibility for another person's life.
