Emma Holister
Description:
Emma Holister's doctor cartoons are a biting critique of the pharmaceutical industry and the medical industrial complex. Preface by Martin J Walker and dozens of quotes about doctors by famous people throughout the ages. A4 format, over 150 pages with more than 70 full colour cartoons.
From the preface by Martin J Walker
"The thesis expressed by the cartoons of Emma Holister, taken in its entirety, is the case of the Health Freedom Movement. Within this arena Emma runs over everything in her path: over-prescription, denial of adverse reactions, the invisibility of the toxic environment, competitiveness of pharmaceuticals and dirty tricks against vitamins and foods. The fantastic negativity of modern medicine and its failure to mount even the first step towards healing is proven over and over in her bubbles. . .
Emma's characters come from the warm and well-fuelled but seemingly asocial and insular world of the middle-class victim of medical negligence and pharmaceutical exploitation. Usually, however, this is not the middle class or the middle ground of Posy Simmons but a world in which the immodest masculine medic breaks into shards of glass when faced with a female asking dissenting questions. In fact, this is the world of the radical, dissenting female fighting against the heart of darkness that is modern allopathic, industrial medicine. . .
Each frame presents a tough picture of the war zone that is contemporary modern medicine. "
