“You understand you’re terminal, right?”
When 47-year-old Jim Plante is diagnosed with terminal cancer, it’s the beginning of a wild roller-coaster ride through the American healthcare system. It’s also a bewildering journey through the existential landscape of a world known only perhaps to those essentially condemned to death.
As a matter of fact, no, I hadn’t understood that I was terminal. I sat there open-mouthed, wanting to say something – anything – but unable to make a sound. Terminal?
My Expiration Date…One Man’s Battle with Both Cancer and the Medical Profession is an amazing memoir steeped in philosophical musings and reflective observations. It also reveals what Jim came to learn about the healthcare industry. From the laboratory to the examination room, the system is failing its patients. Would it fail Jim, too?
