Stories from HIV/AIDS Care Unit 371
MK Czerwiec
“MK Czerwiec’s tales of her nursing work in an AIDS unit chart a remarkable episode in the history of medicine. It’s a time of staggering loss but also remarkable change. Through the lives and deaths of individual patients, written and drawn in documentary detail, we see the power dynamic between doctor and patient begin to shift. When cure is not an option, care takes on a new meaning.”

One of the latest publications from Graphic Mundi, Infected for Science tells the story of religious pacifist David Miller and a group of conscientious objectors who, during World War II, made an extraordinary choice: they signed up for government-sponsored medical experiments that intentionally infected them with hepatitis. Their goal was simple but dangerous—help scientists understand a disease that was sickening American soldiers fighting on the front lines.
Sydney Halpern is a historical sociologist whose work shines a light on moral dilemmas in the conduct of medical research.
