While there are several studies that focus on care settings in relation to verbal narratives, only a few studies have paid attention to how comics in general, and graphic medicine in particular, engage critical care environments and settings. Drawing strengths from the underground and alternative comics and capitalizing on health humanities, graphic medicine, a recent development in the comics genre, concentrates on the issues related to health, illness, and care. Coined by Ian Williams in 2007, graphic medicine refers to the intersection of comics and concerns of healthcare. Graphic medicine has always engaged informal, formal, and biomedical caregiving settings. Against this backdrop, the present article, drawing on relevant theoretical debates on spatial studies and care, examines Stan Mack’s Janet& Me (2004), Joyce Farmer’s Special Exits (2014), and Sarah Leavitt’s Tangles (2012). In so doing, the article seeks to delineate care facilities (family, hospitals, among others) and their impact on patients.

护理和图形医学空间

虽然有几项研究关注与口头叙述相关的护理环境，但只有少数研究关注漫画，特别是图形医学如何参与重症护理环境和环境。从地下漫画和另类漫画中汲取力量，并利用健康人文科学、图形医学（漫画类型的最新发展）专注于与健康、疾病和护理相关的问题。由 Ian Williams 在 2007 年提出，图形医学指的是漫画和医疗保健问题的交叉点。图形医学一直从事非正式、正式和生物医学护理环境。在此背景下，本文借鉴有关空间研究和护理的相关理论辩论，考察了 Stan Mack 的 Janet&Me (2004)，乔伊斯·法默 (Joyce Farmer) 的特别出口 (2014) 和莎拉·莱维特 (Sarah Leavitt) 的缠结 (2012)。在此过程中，本文试图描述护理设施（家庭、医院等）及其对患者的影响。
