               Comics Make Medicine Less Scary for Young Patients

   by June Soh

   A growing number of comics and graphic novels are finding their way
   into medical exam rooms. Experts say that especially for young
   patients, comics can be a great tool to explain what can be a scary
   medical process in an easy and entertaining manner. The increasing and
   varied use of graphic arts was the focus of a recent Comics and
   Medicine conference at Johns Hopkins Medical Campus in Maryland. VOA's
   June Soh talked with physicians there.
