“How much oxygen do we really need?”
A comic introduction to the concept of ‘swimming between the flags’ which guides how medics give oxygen to critically unwell patients. It’s not about how much oxygen is given, but the concentration in the blood that this results in. Sometimes giving no additional oxygen is the right choice!

How to control a major bleed. A comic I designed for KnifeSavers, a UK based charity training members of the public how to control major bleeding, in response to escalating knife crime in some cities.
A person can bleed out in minutes - before professional medical help has a chance to arrive. These efforts are hoped to buy victims time by slowing down blood loss and supporting clot formation to plug wounds.
Do you think learning how to control bleeding is a good life skill?

We may be seeing a lot more masks in public in the coming months (and maybe years) until an effective vaccine for COVID-19 is widely available. I was only familiar with using surgical and N95 masks, so thought it might be interesting to look at what else is out there.⠀
Some research on the protection masks may offer to wearers and those around them, which you might find interesting:

Even us introverts need some human contact. I’m feeling very glad to have access to the internet and technology during the pandemic. We are social creatures and it’s natural for lockdown and isolation to affect us. Let’s all make an effort to reach out and check in on our loved ones more, and help keep each other well mentally through the tougher times.
Stay safe and take care <3
