Mirjam Kaijer, journalist, columnist, and former nurse, writes in a light yet incisive style about her search for a diagnosis; about bureaucracy, the gaps in the healthcare system, rushed consultations, and incorrect conclusions. She describes how, years later, an unexpected diagnosis—and surgery in the United States—ultimately set her on the right path.
