"Dying for Attention" with Susan MacLeod

Radio Free Krypton

Halifax cartoonist Susan MacLeod tells Justin and Jacob about her comic book memoir, "Dying for Attention," which details the nine years she spent guiding her mother through the long-term care system.

High rates of death in Canadian long-term care homes during the COVID-19 pandemic led to renewed attention on systemic issues within these institutions. Susan's book covers these issues alongside themes of communication, honesty and navigating familial relationships.
