This paper consists of literary passages and fragments from the masters’ dissertation “Clinic of a Life: bits and pieces of education (in) and health”, presented in the Postgraduate Program in Collective Health at the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul. The composition – collage – assembly of this writing encompassed fictional short tales narrating the story of Mr. Warburg and his process of research about possible images of the medicalization of life. It is a fictional work addressing medicalization and clinic; teaching and learning processes; education and collective health, pervaded with thought-disrupting image-words.
