Not at all an enjoyable read, not only because it made me face my own medical issues, but also because this book has some real issues of medical condescension, cisheteronormativity and sexism. Just as an example this book has a knack in the way of weirdly sexist misogynist talk about female patients with marfan syndrome: sentences noting that minimally invasive surgery is "especially for women, cosmetically advantageous" just made my eyes roll back into my skull, and that's ignoring the really reductionist explanations of chromosomal sex and other such things
It also tends to wildly flip flop between intended audiences for its chapters. From really basic "oh don't eat too many sweets, it's bad for your teeth" to complex heart surgery explained in all glorious and jargon-heavy detail
