Content includes narratives from patients and health care workers, medical history, fiction, creative nonfiction, poetry, and visual art. We also include sections on writing by and about children, and writing about international health. These are voices that are often silenced in healthcare.</p> https://ars-medica.ca/index.php/journal/article/view/2361 2024-03-13T10:56:13-07:00 Jenny Li li.jenny.xy@gmail.com

<p>Music is everywhere around us, waiting for us to notice. The sounds of the hospital are like a fugue, a musical form involving multiple interwoven melodies.&nbsp;</p>
