Dying for attention : a graphic memoir of nursing home care / [Susan MacLeod]. by MacLeod, Susan (Susan J.). Conundrum Press, 2021. Call #: 362.16092 M165d Subjects MacLeod, Susan (Susan J.) -- Family -- Comic books, strips, etc.   Nursing homes -- Canada -- Comic books, strips, etc.   Nursing homes -- Canada -- Administration -- Comic books, strips, etc.   Nursing homes -- Canada -- Admission -- Comic books, strips, etc. ISBN:  9781772620610 (pbk.) Edition:  1st ed. Description:  184 p. : ill. ; 23 cm. Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references. Summary:  When Susan MacLeod accompanied her 90-year-old mother through a labyrinthine long-term care system, it was a nine-year journey navigating a government without a heart in a system without compassion. Her family, much like the system, erected walls rather than opening arms. She found herself involuntarily placed at the pivot point between her frail, elderly mother's need for love and companionship, the system's inability to deliver, and her brother's indifference. She had also spent three years as a government spokesperson enthusiastically defending the very system she now experienced as brutally cold. MacLeod's tone is defined by a gentle, self-effacing humour touched by exasperation for the absurdities and the newfound wisdom around expectations. Dying for Attention, is the latest memoir in the graphic medicine field, shelved alongside Roz Chast's Can't We Talk About Something More Pleasant? or Sarah Leavitt's Tangles. MacLeod includes helpful tips for communicating with nursing homes as well as background research to provide a larger context for this under-discussed experience. Genre:  Graphic non-fiction.
