Misdiagnosed: The Search for Dr. House is the critically acclaimed memoir about a woman's 20 year quest to find the correct medical diagnosis. Written in a conversational and brutally honest fashion, Misdiagnosed: The Search for Dr. House is the tale of a woman's quest to find the correct diagnosis. This frank and engaging story takes the reader on journey through her various hospital trips, and procedures, as well as her feeling and emotions that are as real as they are raw. It also introduces them to a quirky cast of characters who go through this 17 year odyssey with her until she finally finds out that she has a rare autoimmune disorder. "In this hope-filled memoir, a woman rises above the challenges of navigating the modern American medical system. Beamon, a TV journalist, lays herself bare as she frankly discusses her journey through years of suffering as she searches for a diagnosis for her illness. For those with unusual conditions, the road to diagnosis can be filled with disbelieving doctors, seemingly unrelated symptoms, and increasing desperation as the sick person struggles to understand why the body is failing. The author bravely relates all of these things, presenting her growth through long-term pain, her life with chronic illness, and her journey to becoming her own medical advocate in touching and sometimes agonizing detail." - "Publisher's Weekly" "A saga of dealing with a chronic illness that shows how health intertwines with work, love and life." - "Kirkus Reviews" "Anyone interested in a medical mystery with a real-life heroine will appreciate MISDIAGNOSED's story and Beamon's long fight to achieve good health--" "IndieReader"
