"This book takes you through the broken parts of the healthcare system," the reader embarks on an emotional journey, narrated by a brave teen mom and her son with complex medical needs and intellectual disabilities, spanning two decades.

Unlike the well-documented viewpoints of medical professionals, professors, economists, or politicians, this remarkable account delves deep into the true patient experience, unveiling the harsh realities of a corroded healthcare system.

Seamlessly blending poignant personal anecdotes with extensive research, the book exposes shocking stories that resonate with readers, leaving no doubt that the system is fundamentally flawed. This harrowing tale underscores the disheartening truth that as former, current, or soon-to-be patients, we are all susceptible to suffering the grave consequences of a broken system that demands urgent attention.
