You have been reading Lissa, a graphic narrative written by Sherine Hamdy and Coleman Nye and illustrated by Sarula Bao and Caroline Brewer; the title is a colloquial Arabic term meaning \u201cnot yet\u201d or \u201cthere\u2019s still time.\u201d The book tells the story of two friends, Layla and Anna, as they confront personal medical decisions, family relations, and health inequalities in the United States and revolutionary Egypt.<\/p>\n
The following questions are designed to help you reflect on the major themes raised by the book.Choose 3-4 of the following questions and answer each in about 100 words each:<\/p>\n
Anna and Layla are both involved in making critical health-related decisions that the other doesn\u2019t understand. Why does Layla think it\u2019s bizarre for Anna to \u201ctreat a disease that she does not have\u201d? Why can\u2019t Anna understand the reluctance of Layla\u2019s family to consider a transplant for Abu Hassan?
\nIn one scene, a patient tells Layla that a kidney transplant doesn\u2019t necessarily work when there are so many elements of the food, water, and air that continue to make a person sick. What are some of the factors identified in the book that produce toxic ecologies of both cancer and kidney disease?
\nIn what is known as \u201cGraphic Medicine,\u201d comics are increasingly used in medical education to teach professional ethics and observational skills, to foster empathy among providers, and to reinforce how healing involves more than treating a body. Do you think Lissa is successful in achieving these goals? Why or why not? What do you think medical, nursing, or other students in the health profession could gain from reading this work?
\nIdentify (citing a page number) and discuss a specific moment or scene in the book that you found to be memorable, frustrating, or inspiring. Why was this section significant to you?
