I believe she actually has Crohn's....it was brought up over the past few months.
Good to hear you're enjoying the book. She has some videos available on youtube. I cannot relate to a lot of what she's been through, except a few parts regarding testing.
Hope she has an impact in some changes being made through her work.
For many, the medical system sucks...let me be more precise to mean that some doctors and nurses care (loose term) can lead to the detrimental health of a patient through neglect or bad evaluation/diagnosing...and it's more frustrating when the suffering of one gets to the point he/she has to right a book.
I wish I could write a book of my MIL's treatment in the St. Boniface ward 5E and 5B, which was a freaking joke leading to her systematic demise. I'd probably be on the list to be sued, however.
Let us know your review of the book once you're finished it.
Thanks for posting it.
