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 My Begging Chart by Keiler Roberts and Tangles by Sarah Leavitt. MacLeod includes helpful tips for communicating with nursing homes, as well as background research, to provide a larger context for this under-discussed experience."-- $c Provided by publisher. 600 10 $a MacLeod, Susan $q (Susan J.) $x Family $v Comic books, strips, etc. 650 4 $a Graphic novels. 650 0 $a Nursing homes $z Canada $v Comic books, strips, etc. 650 0 $a Nursing homes $z Canada $x Administration $v Comic books, strips, etc. 650 0 $a Nursing homes $z Canada $x Admission $v Comic books, strips, etc. 941 $a 5 952 $l TYPH572 $d 20220630013804.0 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20220202022010.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20220129011900.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20211230010222.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20211014010252.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=030899962CB411EC86BBCA982EECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b BUPInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
