Summary:

This book is a wonderful educational journey written by someone with sickle cell disease who trained while being sick to become a medical doctor. The author uses humor to tell her story. She shares about many things including making it through school with usual and unusual disability accommodations, natural things and simple techniques you can use to protect your health that are not found in textbooks, her experiences navigating the healthcare system, and even how to attract people to you, to name a few. This is a book that everyone with a chronic illness, or who knows someone with a chronic illness, should have. It is especially crucial for those with sickle cell disease and chronic pain, because it reads like a survivor manual.
