The book draws empathetic portraits, of deeply unsympathetic figures, forcing readers to understand the mindset of monstrous characters.The thoughtful rendering will captivate those with similar experiences. One of the things we hear over, and over is, “ The doctor didn’t listen to me.” Women are more likely than men to receive a wrong or delayed diagnosis, and mistakes cause 20% of all hospital deaths. A true story that charts a life changing illness, and its many consequences. The book promises to leave you with more knowledge, than before you started.
