Pained

A POLITICAL PROVOCATION FROM A PAIR OF PHYSICIANS WRITING OUTSIDE THEIR LANE
In Pained, physicians Michael Stein and Sandro Galea push the conversation around American health where it belongs: toward matters of class, money, and culture. Across more than 50 essays and data illustrations, Pained casts a light on how the structural components of everyday life - matters like school, housing, police, even cell phones - ultimately determine who gets to be healthy in today's America. In doing so, it makes a case for reframing our political discourse in less myopic,
more effectual terms.
