As a fellow family physician with similar values to Dr. Doggett, I truly appreciated and enjoyed this book. The story flowed so nicely. I enjoyed the patient stories as well as her personal stories. I enjoyed the audiobook format read by the author.

This was a really hard book for me to read as someone who has a disability/chronic illness. I will say I was born with my condition so I can not imagine getting such a heavy diagnosis. Now all that being said this book was so very heart felt and beautiful. The author did a beautiful job of making it easy for the reader to understand what was going on medically. She also explained the way medical system works beautiful and how the system is fundamentally broken.
This is definitely a hard book to read but its worth it. This book is beautiful and talks about some things we really need to get better about doing and understanding. Definitely go check this one out.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this ARC opportunity!

Dr Lisa Doggett is a medical doctor who not only helps her own patients (and works in a free clinic for individuals who don’t have health insurance), but she herself has MS, which makes her story interesting and inspiring.

The author speaks about the complications of the healthcare system from her first hand account which is very validating for anyone who has had to navigate the healthcare system for themselves or a loved one. The fact that she is so hardworking, passionate, and caring, balancing both a career and home life as a wife and mother is inspiring. Many physicians who don’t experience the symptoms she does do not even work as hard!

Thank you for sharing your story, Dr Doggett!
