An Open Letter to Doctors Artist's Book by Starshaped Press

$550.00

An Open Letter to Doctors is written from the experience and perspective of a caregiver navigating a healthcare system that doesn’t put sick patients first. While much of this is outside of doctors’ control, they do have a say in how patients are treated once they’re sharing a room. These interactions are crucial when in a vulnerable state of body & mind.

The book is printed on Mohawk Superfine and Colorplan paper. The wrapper is string and button bound using Neenah packing board cover. It’s bound with antique surgical grade cotton thread. The ink colors printed represent popular scrubs colors.
