"In this edition of the Medical Literary Messenger, you will find a beautiful juxtaposition of written word and visual expression. You will find stunning descriptions of pain, diagnosis, and healing paired with organs and disease made alive in visual art. A reader can imagine some of the same conditions and diseases considered and reflected upon in these two separate media by the writers and artists. When you view the artwork, you realize how fascinating and mysterious the human body is. I would encourage readers to spend time with the visual works and recall the images as they read through stories of hurt and healing. Megan Lemay, MD | Associate Editor"--p. 2.
