Recenzje

Diagnosketch takes the nebulous and sometimes frightening terms we use in medicine and paints a clear picture for the patient, helping to remove the anxiety of not understanding what a diagnosis means. The illustrations are universally applicable, transcend different languages and cultures, and demystify the human body and its most common maladies.
