Illness and healing: images of cancer by Robert Pope.
Leadership's articles usually adopt a manager's perspective on the healthcare system. It is a system, however, whose purpose is to serve Canadians who are injured, ill and, sometimes, dying. After he was diagnosed with a terminal illness, artist Robert Pope painted striking images on his experience with illness and healing. In this issue Leadership shares some of these images with our readers, reminding us all of the personal experience at the centre of a system concerned with the health of human beings.
