Written with brutal and affecting honesty, Kurt Eichenwald, who was diagnosed with epilepsy as a teenager, details the abuses he faced while incapacitated post-seizure, the discrimination he fought that almost cost him his education and employment, and the darkest moments when he contemplated suicide as the only solution to ending his physical and emotional pain. He recounts how medical incompetence would have killed him but for the heroic actions of a brilliant neurologist and the friendship of two young men who assumed part of the burden of his struggle. Ultimately, Eichenwald's is an inspirational tale, showing how a young man facing his own mortality on a daily basis could rise from the depths of despair to the heights of unimagined success"-- 10aEichenwald, Kurt, d1961- vHealth10aEpileptics zUnited States vBiography7 aAutobiographies   2ddccB  c178400d178400  0070bPPAKcGd2020-08-10l1o616.8530092 EICpA01645551r2020-12-28 00:00:00s2020-11-30yB  0070bSPcGd2020-08-10o616.8530092 EICpA01645552r2020-08-10 00:00:00yB
