【紐時暢銷榜 慢性病科普】 慢性病經常遭到邊緣化，而且不容易被診斷識別。 作者Meghan O’Rourke是詩人也是記者，基於自己的醫療經驗，和十年來對醫生、患者、研究人員和公衛專家的採訪，探索慢性病和自體免疫疾病的興起。 美國在慢性病的治療與預防上也面臨相當嚴重的失衡，特別是在女性、勞動階級和有色人種。 A silent epidemic of chronic illnesses afflicts tens of millions of Americans: these are diseases that are poorly understood, frequently marginalized, and can go undiagnosed and unrecognized altogether. Renowned writer Meghan O’Rourke delivers a revelatory investigation into this elusive category of “invisible” illness that encompasses autoimmune diseases, post-treatment Lyme disease syndrome, and now long COVID, synthesizing the personal and the universal to help all of us through this new frontier.
