I received my copy yesterday. I found it very difficult to read. My MG experience was nothing like Chloe's. But as a nurse I was ashamed of the treatment or lack there of Ms. Atkins received.

It made me think back to the beginnings of the spread of HIV/AIDS. Many medical professionals would refuse to treat HIV patients. Again I was ashamed of members of my own profession!

If a condition is neurogenic or psychogenic in nature ALL patients deserve kindness, compassion, and the right to be treated with dignity and respect.

Ms. Atkins story is one of hope, determination and courage. We can all gather something from this book. We are our own advocates, only we can make our voices heard...

Thanks again Abby for sharing this book with us!
