Have you ever been dismissed by a doctor?
The American Healthcare system is chock-full of missed diagnoses and, when doctors dismiss patients and assign misdiagnoses, monsters are made.
This unprecedented collection shines a light on the link between monsters, medical gaslighting, and chronic pain to remind us we are all only a diagnosis away from our own horror story.
________________________________________________________
Kateland was born with a cardiac deformity and misdiagnosed throughout her lifetime, slipping into the world of the Invisible Ill. Spurred by constant dismissal from the hands of other clinicians, she sought her own white coat as a Physician Assistant. Ten years into her clinical career, a car accident plunged her into a medical nightmare even as she sought to alleviate the discomfort of her own patients.
The Secular Prayers of Medicine: Stories from the Frontlines opens a door into a world of secular prayers that can only be seen through the eyes of a clinician who speaks the language of loss. Sourced from her career in oncology, primary care, and emergency medicine, these tales are juxtaposed with Kateland's journey to diagnostic deliverance and a dose of American medical history for context.
Come join Kateland as she meets her patients, all begging for someone to listen, and see what happens when secular prayers are answered.
