Read a sample Read a sample
Julie Devaney takes on a journey through the health care system as she is diagnosed and treated for ulcerative colitis. In and out of emergency rooms, she's poked, prodded, and abandoned to a closet at one point, bearing the helplessness and indignities of a system that seems hell-bent on victimizing the sick. Raw, harrowing, and darkly funny, My Leaky Body argues convincingly for fixes to the system and better training for all medical personnel. Devaney writes the book that will heal her aching heart as she weaves stories from professional and public interactions with tales from her gurney. Julie Devaney is a patient-expert in the fields of disability rights advocacy and health-care delivery and runs workshops for medical professionals. Health Care Issues, Personal Memoir, Canadian Author
