This story is a fictional amalgamation of real case experiences. I wanted to present the neurosurgery case in a more human context that purely technical text or art. I think this is a more memorable way to experience healthcare, and can connect on a deeper level.

The comic was just one half of the content designed for our case on neck fractures; check out the YouTube video Brainbook produced and I illustrated. This explores a real-life fusion surgery with first-person GoPro footage showing the surgeons’ side of the story!
