Cover Image

This month’s issue launches a new series (page 389), Third Rail, as part of the Art of Family Medicine section. “Third rail” topics are ones we avoid because they invite argument, spark controversy, or are feared as taboo. The first article in this new series discusses the need for explicit protection of people with disabilities during pandemics (page 449). Gracing this month’s cover is Alex Coville’s Horse and Train 1954. The horse appears to be galloping toward danger, but the direction of the steam implies the train is stopped. Should we avoid dangerous topics or run toward them? Maybe we should talk about dangerous things— maybe they are not as dangerous as we think.

Image de la page couverture

Nous lançons dans cette édition du mois une nouvelle série (page 391), Le troisième rail, comme partie intégrante de la section L’art de la médecine familiale. Les sujets du « troisième rail » sont ceux que nous évitons parce qu’ils suscitent l’argumentation, alimentent la controverse ou sont jugés tabous. Le premier article de cette nouvelle série discute de la nécessité de protéger explicitement les personnes ayant une incapacité en temps de pandémie (page 449). L’image du mois est une œuvre d’Alex Coville, intitulée Horse and Train 1954. Le cheval semble galoper tout droit vers le danger, mais la direction de la vapeur révèle que le train est arrêté. Devrions-nous éviter les sujets dangereux ou encore courir vers eux? Peut-être devrions-nous parler de choses dangereuses, car, peut-être, elles ne sont pas aussi dangereuses que nous le croyons..
