Don't Cure Me, (Hardcover)

A new king is being crowned, doctors are on the verge of a massive medical discovery, society is financially and socially segregated by the platelet-count numbers of constant blood tests, and the world is divided into three geographical regions: school, clinic, home. In this lyric sci-fi thriller, a sick young woman is our heroine, and a handful of lone wolf degenerates of the invisible class challenge the medical establishment's understanding of a debilitating disease to riveting effect. <p> <br>Based on the true history of the autoimmune disorder thrombocytopenia--and the daring experiment of one medical student who isolated the disease in the blood--<i>Don't Cure Me</i> is a novel dressed in style and plot twists. This book asks: how does the way women are expected to hold their bodies give them heightened powers? If one's true worth could be codified and trivialized down to a decimal number, would you tolerate it? Are numbers always violent? What does triumph look like in a world that requires people to live segregated by gender and class?</p>
