Life Expectancy in the West has been falling since 2015. Linked to this, the climate of healthcare has become toxic. This crisis, as urgent as global climate change, has its roots in the same factors that drive climate change.

In this provocative narrative, Neely Myers sweeps us up in her own journey through...
