This article is a reprint of the viewpoint which originally appeared in 2004 (volume 21(3), 163-167). It is a memoir of a horrific experience, expressed through drawings. The author takes the readers with him on his very personal frightening journey of quintuple bypass surgery. He not only tells the readers, he shows them how making art became a sort of meditation or reflection so that he felt more curious about this new experience rather than feeling he was suffering through it. This article is one of the clearest articulations of how art can help one heal from trauma, and surprisingly, it is humorous as well. (Contains 8 figures and 2 footnotes.)
