Description
In this profound and deeply personal investigation, Meghan O'Rourke confronts the pervasive reality of chronic and autoimmune illnesses, conditions that often elude diagnosis and understanding. Drawing on her own health journey and extensive research, she uncovers how historical biases in Western medicine have contributed to the marginalization of these "invisible" diseases. O'Rourke masterfully blends lyrical prose with rigorous scholarship, weaving together the experiences of patients, doctors, and researchers to illuminate this growing health crisis. This landmark work offers a vital new perspective on our bodies, our health, and the urgent need for a more empathetic and comprehensive approach to illness.
