The figure of the doctor has always been surrounded by a heroic aura, warranted by the possession of hard-earned medical knowledge and the tenacious reliance on doctors’ ability to heal and emancipate from pain and suffering. However, recent literary and visual-cultural representations of doctors have unsettled the dominant and homogenized perception of physicians as heroes. Particularly, representations in mainstream books, popular media, and comics, which have predominantly offered unilaterally positive initial portrayals of doctors as superhuman figures, eventually provided people with more nuanced and realistic representations, disclosing the “undesirable and unprofessional attitudes” of physicians and their sufferings. Ian Williams’ graphic narratives The Bad Doctor (2014, Oxford: Myriad Editions) and The Lady Doctor (2019, Oxford: Myriad Editions) serve as a critical lens to reflect on the postmodern perspective of doctor as a “wounded healer” and illuminate the problematic view of physicians as heroes. Drawing instances from the aforementioned graphic narratives, this essay aims to provide a revisionary understanding of physicians from heroes to victims of larger-than-life forces such as bureaucracy and the demands of patients. The essay scrutinizes how the verbal-visual medium of comics facilitates the envisioning and enunciating of the troubled personal and professional lives of physicians and the complexities involved in the medical profession.

In this article, the authors highlight Indigenous helper Vicky Boldo/kisêwâtisiwinyôtin:iskwew’s (Gentle Wind Woman) approach to healing knowledges. kisêwâtisiwinyôtin:iskwew’s background of Cree, Coast Salish and Métis ancestry, in addition to living a scarring experience as a trans-racial adoptee, created a ground of insight and self-care that sparked her awareness and reliance on Mother Earth as part of her survival. This chapter documents kisêwâtisiwinyôtin:iskwew’s insights into the sacred and inseparable relationship to Earth and all beings as crucial to overall wellbeing. The authors discuss kisêwâtisiwinyôtin:iskwew’s teachings about connection, embodiment and utilizing inner resources to move through the pain and trauma of separation from the self and sacred. Ultimately, kisêwâtisiwinyôtin:iskwew exemplifies the need to centre the ways in which people respond to hurt assisted by positive social environments that challenge and stop structures of abuse. This understanding gained as a “wounded healer” in turn creates spaces for individual learnings extending into intergenerational teachings on healing and dignity.
