"So far, I am enjoying this book, although I am finding it really hard to get through. It is depressing to read the case studies, but I think Kleinman does a great job at really getting at the way chronic illness and pain affect all aspects of a person, and at the ways in which chronic illness is addressed by the world of medical professionals. You can really see the difference between a patient's lived experience of illness and the medical professional's pathological diagnosis of the same. I liked it so much that I gave it to my mom, who has chronic pain and chronic illness, to read for herself."
