Who would have thought I would enjoy someone’s gynecological and colorectal memoir so much? The writing is excellent and the story gets right to the heart of the problems with our medical system. Ramey approaches a difficult topic with grace and humor, making this a truly enjoyable read. It was tough to put down.
This was a tough book to listen to, hearing how many times and for how many years the author was poo-pooed and not believed regarding her body and health issues. And if you are a white, female presenting, financially well off woman and you think this is bad - I can only imaging how much worse it is for any woman of color or gender non-conforming individual who does not have the insurance or the personal income to have had such an experience.
My take-away is that people like myself need to use our privilege and be vocal about funding research for women's heath issues.

Honestly due to my own privilege to decent healthcare I didn't realize how bad this was. It was by far the most unrealistic chronic illness memoir I have ever read. I liked the idea of the whole micro biome but wow the execution is not there. I want my money back.

Sarah Ramey tells the harrowing and frustrating story of navigating a chronic illness in the U.S. healthcare system. When I first saw that it was 400 pages, I thought that it would drag on forever, but she tells her story with grace.
