"You Don't Look Sick" chronicles one person's true-life story of illness and her physicians compassionate commentary as they journey through the four stages of chronic illness - Getting Sick, Being Sick, Grief and Acceptance and Living Well. The authors address such practical aspects 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 and charting a path for change and more.
