emotional informative inspiring reflective sad slow-paced

5.0

This book is a collection of essays, interviews, and other writings discussing our current healthcare system, and what an idealized healthcare system could look like for queer, POC, disabled, fat, and other marginalized people. It covers topics from birth to death, and while it can be deeply depressing about the current system in place, it sows the seeds of hope and inspiration for what could be with work, dismantling the current system, and investment of community. I must-read for anyone seeking to enter, currently in, or adjacent to healthcare and like work.

Content Warnings

Moderate: Abortion, Medical content, Medical trauma, Pandemic/Epidemic, and Death

This can be a heavy read, that discusses many heavy and sometimes depressing/disturbing topics. While these topics can be difficult to interact with, it's important to acknowledge them as a part of our collective history as queer people, and healthcare as a whole.
