What''s Wrong?: Personal Histories of Chronic Pain and Bad Medicine

English

By (author): Erin Williams

A humane and gripping work that illuminates how (and why) our treatments of chronic illness fail, and a devastating portrait of the ways our society fails to protect the bodies of its most vulnerable members. Melissa Febos, author of Girlhood, winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award
 
Whats Wrong? is author, illustrator, and scientific researcher Erin Williamss graphic exploration of how the American health-care system fails us. Focusing on four raw and complex firsthand accounts, plus Williamss own story, this book examines the consequences of living with interconnected illnesses and conditions like:
  • immunodeficiency
  • cancer
  • endometriosis
  • alcoholism
  • severe depression
  • PTSD
Western medicine, which intends to cure illness and minimize pain, often causes more loss, abuse, and suffering for those Americans who dont fit within the narrow definition of who the system was built to servecis, 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. Whats Wrong? is also a beautiful celebration of nontraditional modes of healing, of how we become whole not because of health care but despite it. See more
