Heal Me: In Search of a Cure
Julia Buckley
Formats & Editions
Like a third of the UK population, Julia has a chronic pain condition. According to her doctors, it can't be cured. She doesn't believe them. She does believe in miracles, though. It's just a question of tracking one down. Julia's search for a cure takes her on a global quest, exploring the boundaries between science, psychology and faith with practitioners on the fringes of conventional, traditional and alternative medicine. Raising vital questions about the modern medical system, HEAL ME is also a story about identity in a system skewed against female patients, and the struggle to retain a sense of self under the medical gaze.
