What happens when you are -- or your child is -- refused a diagnosis for a condition the establishment will not recognise?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs a consultant neurologist, Dr Jules Montague saw the relief a diagnosis could bring, but she also came to see its limitations. In this eye-opening and humane account, Montague meets with the patients and families who have had their lives turned upside down by a diagnosis they never deserved.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eShe speaks to parents fighting for recognition of their children's symptoms; men and women whose bodies have been stigmatised by society; and to the families of young black men who are being diagnosed posthumously with a condition that could exonerate their killers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThrough these stories of heartbreak and resilience, Montague shines a light on the troubled state of diagnosis, and asks how we might begin to heal.","brand":"Granta Books","offers":[{"title":"Bargain","offer_id":42985336504400,"sku":"9781783785841B","price":8.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookoutlet.com\/fr\/products\/the-imaginary-patient-how-diagnosis-gets-us-wrong","provider":"Book Outlet","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
