[Comment] Offline: The latent power of doctors

What will we make of today's waves of human migration (and their associated traumas) in years to come? Kate Clanchy believes they will be seen as a new Holocaust: the vast number of children who have lived side-by-side extraordinary violence. She was speaking at Medicine Unboxed, a festival exploring the cultural place of medicine in society. The theme this year was “Maps”. Clanchy is a writer and poet. She works at a school in Oxford that receives refugees from Afghanistan and Syria. She is wary of those who say the best way to deal with trauma is “to vomit it up and move on”.
