In the Malformation of Health Care, Erin Havel reveals much of what's wrong with and difficult about our health care system. She did this through sharing her story of diagnosis, treatment, navigating through the system, battling for approval to save her life, financial and relational struggles, and trying to live some semblance of a normal life through it all. Reading about Erin's constant hassle with insurance companies while battling two serious illnesses was enlightening, yet exhausting for me to read; I can only imagine how hard it was for her to deal with year after year. She has my utmost admiration for never giving up and maintaining a positive attitude despite all she's been through. Even more amazing is how she made a book about a topic that could have been dry and hard to read enjoyable. I couldn't put it down and read it straight through-what a pleasant surprise!
