Porochista Khakpour discusses Sick: A Memoir. For as long as Khakpour can remember,she has been sick. For most of that time, she didn't know why. Several drug addictions, or some major hospitalizations,and over $100000 later, she finally had a diagnosis: late-stage Lyme disease. Khakpour explores how gender, and identity,and the health care system intersect for women experiencing chronic health issues.
