Critics Review
A memoir that explores the idea that women with chronic illnesses need to rally for appropriate medical care. Making her book debut, Ramey, a writer and musician, recounts, with captivating zest, a sorry tale of suffering from a cluster of symptoms that defied diagnosis … Impassioned testimony of a fight for health - Kirkus Reviews
Ramey offers an account of a mysterious illness that plagued her for more than a decade … Though this medical saga is disturbing in the many miscalculations her doctors made, Ramey’s hilarious and upbeat sense of humor lightens even the direst of circumstances (a surgeon who performed the wrong surgery on her is dubbed Dr. Oops, and others merit such glib monikers as Dr. Vulva, Dr. Paxil and Dr. Bowels) … Ramey’s uncanny grit and fortitude will deeply inspire the multitudes facing similar issues - Publishers Weekly (Starred Review)A visceral, scathing, erudite read that digs deep into how modern medicine continues to fail women and what can be done about it - Booklist (starred review)About The Author
