This comic is included in the digital library as part of a partnership between the OHSU Library and the Northwest Narrative Medicine Collaborative to share Narrative Medicine curriculum and the items used in those teaching sessions. For additional information about how the work is used in teaching and a community driven context, please visit Accessible Narrative Medicine website.

This comic strip defines "Third Objects" (or Third Things) as visual tools, such as movies, poetry, images, games, and even motivational quotes. Third objects used in Narrative Medicine workshops can serve as a starting point for discussion, introspection, and writing.
