WHATS WRONG PERSONAL HISTORIES OF CHRONIC PAIN HC

$29.99 USD
by ABRAMS
Type: Books

What\'s Wrong? is author, illustrator, and scientific researcher Erin Williams\'s graphic exploration of how the American health-care system fails us. Focusing on four raw and complex firsthand accounts, plus Williams\'s own story, this book examines the consequences of living with interconnected illnesses and conditions like: immunodeficiency, cancer, endometriosis, alcoholism, severe depression, and PTSD. Western medicine, which intends to cure illness and minimize pain, often causes more loss, abuse, and suffering for those Americans who don\'t fit within the narrow definition of who the system was built to serve-cis, white, heterosexual men. The book explores the many ways in which those receiving medical care are often overlooked, unseen, and doubted by the very clinicians who are supposed to heal them.
