Medical graphic novels can present medical conditions in a more accessible way. For example, for a patient with a heart disease, a graphic novel can show the structure of the heart and how the disease affects it with simple pictures and easy - to - understand text.
They can reduce patients' anxiety. When patients are given a lot of complex medical information, they may feel stressed. But a graphic novel can break it down into digestible parts. A graphic novel about cancer treatment might show the different stages of treatment in a non - threatening way, making patients more comfortable with the process.
