Taking Turns pulls back the curtain on life in the ward. A shining example of excellence in the treatment and care of patients, Unit 371 was a community for thousands of patients and families affected by HIV and AIDS and the people who cared for them. This graphic novel combines Czerwiec?s memories with the oral histories of patients, family members, and staff. It depicts life and death in the ward, the ways the unit affected and informed those who passed through it, and how many look back on their time there today. Czerwiec joined Unit 371 at a pivotal time in the history of AIDS: deaths from the syndrome in the Midwest peaked in 1995 and then dropped drastically in the following years, with the release of antiretroviral protease inhibitors. This positive turn of events led to a decline in patient populations and, ultimately, to the closure of Unit 371. Czerwiec?s restrained, inviting drawing style and carefully considered narrative examine individual, institutional, and community responses to the AIDS epidemic?as well as the role that art can play in the grieving process. Deeply personal yet made up of many voices, this history of daily life in a unique AIDS care unit is an open, honest look at suffering, grief, and hope among a community of medical professionals and patients at the heart of the epidemic. 410 0$aGraphic medicine. 606 $aAIDS (Disease)$xNursing$vComic books, strips, etc 606 $aHIV infections$xNursing$vComic books, strips, etc 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aAIDS (Disease)$xNursing 615 0$aHIV infections$xNursing 676 $a616.97920231 700 $aCzerwiec$b MK$g(MaryKay),$f1967-$01040380 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910480243003321 996 $aTaking turns$92463186 997 $aUNINA
