We heard from friends that the Japanese word for patient is pictured as two characters, one is a skewer and the other is heart/mind. I'd like to see this image since it accurately represents the trauma of being a patient. Could someone please send this to me as an image file (tiff or bmp or gif). I'm engaged in a volunteer project looking at language and healing with adolescents.
with appreciation, Goldie Milgram
