"We are proud to launch the Medical Literary Messenger with this inaugural issue. Although we are new and modest, we hope to explore the diverse meaning of illness through the creative lens of a medical perspective. Our contributors include students, physicians and patients both from and beyond Virginia Commonwealth University. The following pages of essays, short stories, and images have inspired us to pause and reflect on our varied roles as members of a medical community. We are honored for your readership of the Medical Literary Messenger and hope that you are moved by its content. Gonzalo Bearman, Editor in Chief"--p. 2.
