Elizabeth Shick graduated summa cum laude from the University of Georgia with a degree in Scientific Illustration, then went on to study Medical Illustration at the Medical College of Georgia. She was the senior medical illustrator at MLI before opening her own company, Medical Visions, Inc., in 1991. She is one of the top medical legal illustrators in the country with extensive experience, personally producing over 15,000 exhibits. "You can't just have a degree in art to be a medical illustrator. You have to have half art and half science. And that's difficult because a lot of artists don't like math or science. We don't like the technical aspect of things. And a lot of scientists have problems with visual communication. So we're kind of a rare breed because we've got to be good at both."Elizabeth's motto is: “Do what you love and delegate everything else.”  

In this final episode for 2022 of the Medical Illustration podcast, I share some announcements and dive into the topic of AI art and its affects on the medical illustration field. Show notes can be found here: https://www.pkvisualization.com/post/final-podcast-for-2022-ai-vs-art

Grace Gerber is a bright soul who cares deeply about her family, especially her two moms, Terry and Shelly.  She was adopted from Vietnam, along with her brother, Matthew, and was brought over to the states when she was a little over a year old. She grew up knowing Terry and Shelly as her true parents, who raised her to be the caring and capable individual she is today. Grace has roots in Kansas City but is currently a fourth-year student at the Rochester Institute of Technology in New York.  She is about to graduate with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in a unique field called Medical Illustration. First and foremost, she is an artist who thrives on creative challenges. She hopes to one day illustrate human anatomy and biological processes for medical companies, or biomedical research facilities. It was her equal love of art and science that led her to pursue this line of work. However, she insists she couldn't have done it without the ongoing recognition, encouragement, and support from her family. Their love for her stokes her love and passion for what she does. They inspire her every single day. Memorable Quotes: “Parents are parents. Love is love. I don't think gender should matter at all. It's about having that ongoing love and support and encouragement and wisdom in your life, and you can receive that from any gender.” “The authoritative, protective energy in my life has always been female. So, I've grown up knowing that women are very powerful and brave, and I guess that's what makes having two moms different.” “Our parents are like your rock. And for me, it's my entire family. I see my entire family as my rock. Not just my parents, my aunts and uncles, my grandparents, my cousins, they've all made a huge impact on my life.” What You'll Learn: Moms of all types are important and should be celebrated for the tremendous work they do. This Episode Includes: Grace talks about being adopted from Vietnam and what that processed looked like for her two moms. She shares her thoughts on what it means to celebrate Mother's Day with two moms. Grace emphasizes the fact that gender doesn't matter, parents are parents, and love is the most important thing for a child. The Gerber family is very close-knit and enjoys doing outside activities and going on vacations together. Grace and her brother Matthew met their biological families in 2014 but she shares that it didn't impact her in any large way. Growing up, Grace always viewed her family as one single unit. She says her family is her rock. Grace ends the show by giving a few tidbits of advice on graduating college and how to be yourself in the process. Takeaways From Today's Episode: Celebrate moms today!

All important topics for the professional medical illustrator. You can find the show notes and links at http://PKVisualization.com

Anatomy and surgery have strong extra-textual elements. The development and transmission of these crafts rely heavily on visual communication in a range of media, whether by practitioners or (other) illustrators. Some artists are justifiably renowned (eg Jan van Rymsdyk in the 18th century), some not as famous as they deserve (eg Joseph Towne and Henry Vandyke Carter in the Victorian era), and some (like 20th-century draughtsmen Kirkpatrick Maxwell and Sydney Sewell) are almost lost to history. Each brought new approaches, but older illustrative methods have also endured, even if deployed for different ends. The early 20th century was a key period in the history of depicting anatomy, whether surgical, morbid or comparative. Mass reproduction brought its own challenges and opportunities; pathological illustration played a surprising role in the medical history of WWI. Examining such developments aids our understanding of the relationship between clinician and artist, text and image, material and visual culture. Speaker: Dr Sam Alberti (Keeper of Science and Technology, National Museums Scotland)

The Noobie Dentist Podcast – Rachel Jackson Episode Run Time: 00:52:06   Intro Today, I chat with Rachel Jackson. Rachel graduated from Glasgow Caledonian University in 2004 with a BSc in Medical Illustration. After a few years of work and starting a family, Rachel decided to go back into clinical dentistry and completed a course in dental therapy in 2013. While doing the course and working, Rachel decided she wanted more of a clinical scope and decided to get into dentistry, leading her to the University of Aberdeen in 2017. She is currently a dental student and continues her artwork. A few years ago, her artwork began to get noticed and she was commissioned by the British Dental Journal to illustrate a series of covers for the 100th year anniversary of their BDA Library, which is what shes been illustrating for the past few months. In this week’s episode, we talk about what motivated her to go back to school and get her credentials, and what has been the ambition behind her ongoing evolution and not settling for where she was. We talk about the power of art in dentistry, and science in general, as well as Rachel’s hope to leave behind a legacy of art and excellent patient care.

"Paul walked into a Lifeboat station on his 17th birthday and never left, initially volunteering at Poole and now at Tower Lifeboat in London. So far he has been a Search and Rescue Volunteer with the RNLI (Royal National Lifeboat Institution) and HM Coastguard for 31 years." So reads the write-up for the honours listing of Pauls OBE, a high honour of recognition for sterling work which he continues to do within maritime medicine and emergency response. Training those who deal with emergency and pre-hospital medicine is no mean feat, and making sure casualty makeup used in training medical personnel is both accurate and hard wearing is a key part of that. It was because of this shared interest that Paul and Stuart crossed paths, and led to this episode of the podcast. Casualty simulation is often an avenue makeup artists will get involved in as they can obviously add a great deal of realism to training scenarios with good makeup. Anyone who has done a first-aid at work course will no doubt be familiar with a biro mark or lip pencil line as a substitute wound. Pauls experience teaching casualty simulation revealed to him how a lack of correct reference, appropriate anatomical awareness and poor technique meant sometimes makeup being done was not helping the simulation! This can be both from an aesthetic point of view (it doesn't actually look very good or realistic) and from a medical diagnostic point of view if a 'bruise' looks more like a burn and then is treated as such. He set about to change that with the training he does with his company Saviour Medical. We are used to seeing wounds portrayed on TV and they are often overdone for dramatic effect and not realistic, with big blood sprays etc. There is a difference between the drama of a compelling story requiring larger than life effects and correct representation of real trauma. Realistic Medical Moulage for simulation purposes This podcast episode hopes to deal directly with that, focussing on what is important with some real insight into how best to approach. Paul made a brief list of key elements which we cover in depth in the podcast, such as: Correct Wound: - Looks accurate – often less is more - Bleeds the right amount - Skin tones accurate - Right location, need for some surface anatomy knowledge - Right materials used – must survive contact with the responder – no wax or tissue paper Actor Compliance: - Pre brief the simulation – care of any sensitive issues - Pre brief wound location and ascertain actor is ok with that – we all have bits of us we don’t like! - Pre-brief if trauma 'cut downs' to nearly nude / underwear - Need to gain consent for the treatment interventions - Explain symptoms that should be displayed and progression of symptoms based upon correct or incorrect interventions - Supply safe word to actor and treatment team - Freshly shaved where appropriate - Bring old clothes and a spare set to go home! Scene: - Supply appropriate props (inhalers etc) - Dress scene to make the mechanism of injury realistic - Ascertain real impact on actor (hot / cold / wet etc) The Black Knight Always Triumphs. Even though his wounds may bleed a little too much. We mention a few books, and the ones I really like are The Sick Rose: Disease and the Art of Medical Illustration by Richard Barnnett and Special Effects Guide Of Real Human Wounds and Injuries by Benito Garcia. We also mention a previous episode of our podcast where real carcasses of pigs (supplied by a butcher) were shot with different guns, allowing Todd to make casts of the resulting damage - many of which he then used to make appliances with accurate trauma effect! Listen here to find out more on the episode 'Shooting Guns At Meat'. As ever, we are so grateful to you for listening and giving us your time.
