In medical charts, the term "N.A.D." (No Apparent Distress) is used for patients who appear stable. The phrase also aptly describes America's medical system when it comes to treating the underprivileged. Medical students learn on the bodies of the poor - and the poor suffer from their mistakes.

Rachel Pearson confronted these harsh realities when she started medical school in Galveston, Texas. Pearson, herself from a working-class background, remains haunted by the suicide of a close friend, experiences firsthand the heartbreak of her own errors in a patient's care, and witnesses the ruinous effects of a hurricane on a Texas town's medical system. In No Apparent Distress, she chronicles her experiences and the raging disparities in a system that favors the rich and the white. This is at once an indictment of American health care and a deeply moving tale of one doctor's coming-of-age.

Sufficiently compelling account of a doctor's training & early experience in the US healthcare system. The differentials in treatment for the insured, the uninsured & by racial demographic in 'real' emergency rooms & county hospitals.

I enjoyed this book, an interesting insight into American healthcare or lack of. What I found rather jarring were the unnecessary “he said” “she asked”s, clearly an add on. Did the production team not have faith in the listener’s ability to differentiate who is talking? When a cheerful “he said” comes in the middle of a sensitive topic you do wonder why they did it.

HE SAID! SHE ASKED!

Living in the UK where we have the NHS this book is absolutely shocking. How in the land of the free and one of the richest countries in the world can people die because they don’t have medical insurance? This book is very frustrating, detailing how medical students volunteered at a free clinic to treat the uninsured. However there were tests and treatments that the clinic just couldn’t give. There are so many stories if patients with cancer who just couldn’t get the treatment they needed because they were uninsured. Absolutely shocking that the USA treats its people like this!

I didn't want to miss a word of it. As an English woman who has just been to an NHS hospital for a check up without paying except in taxes I found the book a real education.
