Hi there, How are you feeling? "Sickness and Pelf" features the perspectives of those stuck in the waiting-forever room of medical culture, dogged by symptoms unassimilable to diagnostic manuals or public policy prescriptions, and baffled by the offerings of both the medical establishment and alt-medicinal quackery. It's all up online now at thebaffler.com: art, stories, poems, and salvos by Barbara Ehrenreich, George Scialabba, Chris Lehmann, Natasha Vargas-Cooper, Steven Poole, Andrew Ross, Andrew J. Bacevich, Jacob Silverman, Suzy Hansen, Siddhartha Deb, and so, so many more. Please enjoy. -The Baffler |
