Hardback. Condición: Very Good. Part cultural history, part literary criticism, and part memoir, A Body Made of Glass is a definitive biography of hypochondria. Caroline Crampton's life was upended at the age of seventeen, when she was diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma, a relatively rare blood cancer. After years of invasive treatment, she was finally given the all clear. But being cured of the cancer didn't mean she felt well. Instead, the fear lingered, and she found herself always on the alert, braced for signs that the illness had reemerged.  Now, in A Body Made of Glass, Crampton has drawn from her own experiences with health anxiety to write a revelatory exploration of hypochondria--a condition that, though often suffered silently, is widespread and rising. She deftly weaves together history, memoir, and literary criticism to make sense of this invisible and underexplored sickness. From the earliest medical cases of Hippocrates to the literary accounts of sufferers like Virginia Woolf and Marcel Proust to the modern perils of internet self-diagnosis, Crampton unspools this topic to reveal the far-reaching impact of health anxiety on our physical, mental, and emotional health. At its heart, Crampton explains, hypochondria is a yearning for knowledge. It is a never-ending attempt to replace the edgeless terror of uncertainty with the comforting solidity of a definitive explanation. Through intimate personal stories and compelling cultural perspectives, A Body Made of Glass brings this uniquely ephemeral condition into much-needed focus for the first time.…

Hardback. Condición: Very Good. A brutally honest, but humorous account of the journey through the labyrinth of healthcare, including an eye-opening exploration of the skyrocketing costs -- both personal and systemic -- inflicted by hypchondria and the cost to the nation's healthcare ecosystem, and how consumers eventually pay for this precipitous rise in costs. Hal Rosenbluth, the maverick executive behind Take Care Health Systems, president of Walgreens Health and Wellness and now chairman and CEO of New Ocean Health Solutions, offers an unfiltered expos of his 227 medical claims in just two years -- exposing the underbelly that illness anxiety may be costing the average sufferer and the health system as a whole. Hypochondria: What's Behind the Hidden Costs Healthcare Costs in America is a bold exploration and a call to action to address the broader impact that each stakeholder -- health plans, providers, health systems and big pharma -- have on the nation's overstressed healthcare system. The book also offers a well-rounded guide to the traditional and not so typical solutions that can help people manage illness anxiety. While the book is serious in nature, Rosenbluth and Marnie Hall, spin you through an amusement ride of anecdotes. From the evolution of Rosenbluth's global management firm to his onset of Type 2 Diabetes, a tale woven with sleeping meds, nocturnal PB&J sandwiches, and anti-anxiety drugs; to founding a company with the youngest Johnson & Johnson president and his most recent entry to digital healthcare, Hypchondria is an unfiltered, no-holds-barred saga that enlightens and entertains and opens a new dialogue about how the U.S. can get better at managing health and arresting costs of care. Hypochondria is not just a memoir, but a call for greater discussion amongst patients, families, providers, employers and health care executives. It's a beacon for change by unraveling the commercialization of healthcare, dissecting Big Pharma's role in America's pill-popping culture and proposing alternative, disruptive solutions.…
