On this weeks episode of Doc Talks, Doc Brian sits down with author Robert Feuerstein.    In his new book, “Living in My Afterlife: An invisible disability and health odyssey affecting millions” he recounts that after three months in a hospital, two years later, and all of the doctors' fruitless, "recommendations," a sixty-nine-year-old patient comes to the fateful, conclusion that they have a dehumanizing, incurable disease. The patient fears surviving his horror story with little relief, and the lack of an alternative would be cruel and unusual punishment. This story is not rare. But it's a horror story of protocol, mixed with the confusion of a competing and counterintuitive medical system. Meanwhile, millions suffer these almost mystifying ailments hiding under the "invisible disease" umbrellas of Neuropathy and Dysautonomia; their lives overshadowed with constant pain, discomfort, and more; with the magnitude of Autoimmune diseases to be the next "cancer." An expose of injustice and a powerful argument for universal as opposed to mercenarily profit-driven health care, where the patient is at the mercy of a cruelly expensive, discriminating - and inadequate - medical system. It's time to treat healthcare as a human right, including the right to die as well as live.   You don’t want to miss this intense episode!  National Suicide Prevention Hopeline: 1-800-273-8255   To find Doc Brian:  Guest Line: 910-777-7239 DirectMe: https://direct.me/doc-brian Twitter: talksdoc IG: the_doc_brian  TikTok: the_doc_brian FB: doctalkswithdocb   https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/doc-talks-with-dr-brian-sheppard/id1536345675   https://open.spotify.com/show/1qSaIZ2lsOKDtL4ueox7FY   https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6prIruH_Izrrx-0MWqJm9w/   https://www.stitcher.com/s?fid=586625&refid=stpr   https://www.deezer.com/show/1941482
