Description
You Don’t Look Sick chronicles a patient's true-life stories and her physicians compassionate commentary as they take a journey through the four stages of chronic illness—Getting Sick, Being Sick, Grief and Acceptance and Living Well. The authors address practical aspects such as hiring a doctor, managing chronic pain, coping with grief and loss of function, winning battles with health and disability insurers, countering the social bias against the chronically ill, and recognizing the limitations of chronic illness care. The second edition has been thoroughly revised and updated based on feedback from the audience for the first edition, with a new section on Grief and Acceptance, updated chapters, and practical travel tips added by Dr. Overman. This book is designed for patients at all stages of the chronic illness journey, as well as caregivers and loved ones.
