I Choose You: The Quest of Science, Medicine, Life, and Everything in Between - Paperback

by Chidinma Onweni (Author)

It starts like "food poisoning." Then it becomes something else, something that won't let you sip water, the kind that strips weight, sleep, and dignity until you are living in minutes.

She is a physician. She knows what prolonged vomiting does to the brain. She asks for thiamine. She is waved off. She returns. And returns. She is given fluids and polite discharge papers while her body starves in slow motion.

In clinic waiting rooms, her arms look like evidence of battle fought.

Dr. Onweni's story shares what happens when a woman's suffering is normalized. After you read it, and you'll never use the words "it's just morning sickness" again.

This is a testimony of love that stays, faith that breathes, and joy that returns in its own time.
