Drawing on Foucault's critique of disciplinary power in psychiatric institutions, the article explores how the memoir reveals tensions between therapeutic care and systemic control, even after deinstitutionalization. Through El Refaie's idea of visual metaphor and embodiment in comics, Liv's illustrations about his psychiatric suffering are read as more than expressive art that challenges dominant clinical narratives. The article investigates the shift in psychiatric health care in Canada from institutional care to community-based care and the impact of psychopharmaceutical drugs, highlighting the embodied cost of psychiatric treatment. By revealing the social exclusion and economic vulnerability produced by gaps in the implementation of health-care policies, Bitter Medicine critiques the promises of deinstitutionalization. The article illustrates how visual narrative forms can foreground subjective experiences of schizophrenia, while interrogating broader systemic failures in mental health care.","PeriodicalId":54627,"journal":{"name":"Perspectives in Biology and Medicine","volume":"69 1","pages":"143-165"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147576605","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic instigated a fervent interest in immunity as societies came to terms with the deadly novel coronavirus. In this article, immunity narratives in reports published in the Sydney Morning Herald during the earliest phase of the pandemic are examined for how they expressed biopolitical logics concerning individual responsibility for a strong immune system and the regulation of human populations. In these news reports, there was a blurring of biological, political, and sociolegal meanings. Certain groups were singled out as vulnerable to COVID and therefore requiring protection, including the maintenance of preventive activities by all members of the public. Others-notably elite sports players-were criticized for initially being exempted from the public health restrictions to which most of the public were expected to comply. Overall, the dominant immunitary narrative was that everyone should take action to protect themselves or those people deemed at high risk. Australia could only be immune from the health and economic impacts of the pandemic if all citizens accepted that \"You are not immune from this virus.\"","PeriodicalId":54627,"journal":{"name":"Perspectives in Biology and Medicine","volume":"69 2","pages":"275-291"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148702727","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Rooted in the recognition that a strong therapeutic alliance improves treatment outcomes and patient satisfaction, this initiative aims to enhance patient-provider connections by integrating patients' biographies into their care. Analysis of 10 biographies reveals four recurring themes: the desire to be seen as unique individuals, the need for mutual trust with health-care providers, the wish for their hopes to be understood, and gratitude for the opportunity to share their stories. These findings challenge the custom that physicians and hospital staff should rely mainly on family members to bear the moral responsibility for preserving patients' identities. Patients clearly expressed their hope that they can entrust their providers with the responsibility not only to maintain their detailed medical records, but also to hear and absorb their intimate memories, fears, and hopes. This approach has the potential to enhance both the perceived and actual quality of care, ensuring that patients feel heard, valued, and respected throughout their hospital journey.","PeriodicalId":54627,"journal":{"name":"Perspectives in Biology and Medicine","volume":"69 3","pages":"353-366"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149118784","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Moving his clinic in 2023 revealed the strain of practicing where demand far exceeds supply and capacity: long days split between a small hospital and an understaffed clinic, chronic underpayment from Medicaid, and a constant backlog of care. These lived experiences are contextualized through the historic failure of US mental health reform after the 1963 Community Mental Health Act, which has left Community Mental Health Centers (CMHCs) under-resourced and, in many rural counties, the only option. Demographic data on psychiatrist shortages, high suicide and illness burdens, and reimbursement disparities are paired with a patient vignette to illustrate how poverty and insurance work together to hinder treatment and precipitate recurrent crises. The essay argues that incremental workforce expansion alone cannot close rural gaps without such structural fixes as raising Medicaid reimbursement, stabilizing and expanding CMHC financing, aligning residency expansion with rural service incentives, and investing in rural infrastructure that addresses social determinants.","PeriodicalId":54627,"journal":{"name":"Perspectives in Biology and Medicine","volume":"69 1","pages":"126-142"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147576192","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper seeks a more fulsome vision of medicine and the lives of medical practitioners by using the \"Perspectives\" model of psychiatry as a form of imaginative inquiry into the state of the profession and physician self-understanding. In The Perspectives of Psychiatry (1998), psychiatrists Paul McHugh and Phillip Slavney described four \"perspectives\" through which clinicians might more fully see and understand those they serve: disease, dimensional, behavior, and life story. While this model was designed for clinical psychiatry, we here apply the model to the practice of medicine itself, looking at medicine and the lives of physicians through the lens of these four perspectives. We pay special attention to the \"life story\" perspective, concluding with a set of conversation starters for students, educators, and clinicians who long to see medicine anew.","PeriodicalId":54627,"journal":{"name":"Perspectives in Biology and Medicine","volume":"69 3","pages":"367-382"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149118751","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
