Hospitals can be deserted places when the days get cold and long — especially during the holidays, and especially during the winter of the third pandemic. But this year, cartoonist and doctor Grace Farris, who works as a therapist at a hospital in Austin, Texas, was surprised and delighted to see her patients and colleagues rally around around a new kind of holiday connection and spirit — rooted in this month’s World Cup soccer playoffs.
Dr. Grace Farris is an associate professor of medicine at the University of Texas at Austin’s Dell School of Medicine. Her latest book is mother milestone. You can find her on Instagram @coupdegracefarris.
