My Degeneration – A Journey Through Parkinson′s: Graphic Medicine

Autor Peter Dunlap–shohl
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 14 noi 2015
How does one deal with a diagnosis of Parkinson s disease at the age of forty-three? My Degeneration, by former Anchorage Daily News staff cartoonist Peter Dunlap-Shohl, answers the question with humor and passion, recounting the author s attempt to come to grips with the malicious whimsy of this chronic, progressive, and disabling disease. This graphic novel tracks Dunlap-Shohl s journey through depression, the worsening symptoms of the disease, the juggling of medications and their side effects, the impact on relations with family and community, and the raft of mental and physical changes wrought by the malady.
My Degeneration examines the current state of Parkinson s care, including doctor/patient relations and the repercussions of a disease that, among other things, impairs movement, can rob patients of their ability to speak or write, degrades sufferers ability to deal with complexity, and interferes with the sense of balance. Readers learn what it s like to undergo a dramatic, demanding, and audacious bit of high-tech brain surgery that can mysteriously restore much of a patient s control over symptoms. But My Degeneration is more than a Parkinson s memoir. Dunlap-Shohl gives the person newly diagnosed with Parkinson s disease the information necessary to cope with it on a day-to-day basis. He chronicles the changes that life with the disease can bring to the way one sees the world and the way one is seen by the wider community. Dunlap-Shohl imparts a realistic basis for hope hope not only to carry on, but to enjoy a decent quality of life."
