WHATS WRONG PERSONAL HISTORIES OF CHRONIC PAIN HC (MR) (24 Jan Release)

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.
