I should probably write something polished and professional to mark this moment, but after pouring my heart, soul, and a few too many spoons into this book, all I really want to do is run (or gracefully waddle) through the streets yelling, “IT’S HERE, IT’S HERE, IT’S FINALLY HERE!”
So, consider this my virtual confetti toss.
If you’re sick (literally) of the gaslighting, the endless doctor roulette, and feeling like a human science experiment while you beg for someone—anyone—to take your symptoms seriously, this book is for you.
If you’ve ever left a doctor’s office questioning your sanity because surely all these symptoms can’t be “just stress,” this book is for you.
If you’re tired of playing a game where the rules keep changing (Surprise medical bill! Denied insurance claim! Doctor who spent 90 seconds with you before declaring you’re fine!), then yeah, this book is definitely for you.
WHAT TO EXPECT
How to Be a Badass in a Broken Healthcare System is part self-advocacy guide, part battle strategy, and part “holy crap, someone finally put into words exactly what I’ve been feeling.” It’s the book I wish I had when I was being dismissed, ignored, and left to figure out my health journey basically through trial and error.
Inside, you’ll find:
✅ A breakdown of how to actually advocate for yourself in the exam room—without getting labeled “difficult.”
✅ How to spot red flags in doctors and, more importantly, how to find the good ones (a.k.a. the unicorns).
✅ Step-by-step tactics to help cut through insurance BS and try to avoid those gut-punch medical bills.
✅ How to navigate the emotional toll of chronic illness (because it sucks losing parts of your old life).
✅ Scripts and comebacks for asserting yourself when a doctor tries to dismiss your concerns and requests.
And because I refuse to let this book be just another dry self-help guide, you’ll also get:
✔️ Humorous personal stories of my own medical misadventures.
✔️ The occasional unfiltered rant (no apologies).
✔️ Practical application exercises at the end of each chapter.

HOW TO GET YOUR HANDS ON IT

And hey, if you love it (or even just mildly like it), I’d be eternally grateful if you left a review on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, or Goodreads. Reviews help other patients find this book, and let’s be honest, we all know someone who could use it.
This isn’t just a book—it’s a movement. We deserve better care. We deserve to be heard. And most of all, we deserve to take back control of our own health.
