Abstract
In this issue of Communication & Medicine a number of themes across a range of sites are reported, including an overview of communication studies in the domain of mental illness, ethical decision making in end-of-life consultations, frame ambiguities in simulated primary care consultations, as well as the mediating role of whiteboards in the organisation of professional practice. Other contributions move outside the clinical/institutional sphere to explore narratives of bereavement experience and lexical formulations in popular health writing associated with nutrition. In what follows I offer a trailer—hopefully, nutritionally rich—to stimulate the reader's appetite.
