really wish this book didn't feel as relatable as it does to so many people because that's fucked up.
left me feeling angry, and frustrated and with even less trust in the medical system.
such a vulnerable and heartbreaking read, have the aboluste utmost respect for the author for being so honest.

This is a poetic masterpiece of raw, heartfelt anger of someone who has endured chronic pain and endometriosis from a young age. I am in awe at the writing. My god

oof, this was so hard to read, content-wise. i want to throw this book in the hands of every medical student as an example of what NOT to do, and tell them that if the behavior of the doctors in this book seems "normal" or "reasonable" to gtfo of this career path. as someone with autoimmune diseases/chronic illness who has had symptoms since childhood, i related to a lot of the author's struggles, was too triggered by others, and grateful that i didn't endure the full gamut of pain/dismissal/full on medical abuse that she did. goddamn. this is NOT a hopeful read, but it is real.
