Show Notes
For 15 years, science journalist Meghan O'Rourke chased a diagnosis for a constellation of symptoms that left her bedridden at times. O'Rourke talks with Stephanie Desmon about capturing the "messy, repetitive, and chaotic" story arc of chronic illness in her New York Times bestselling book, and how long COVID is drawing new attention to the conversation about and treatment of chronic illness.
