by Joseph Washington (Author)
The Practicing Patient A Pharmacist's Resilient Journey with Autoimmune Disease is a memoir told from both sides of the pharmacy counter-a pharmacist living with a rare autoimmune disease who refused to be defined by diagnosis alone. Told in four parts-Becoming, Building, Bridging, and Belonging-this book traces one young man's journey through symptoms without answers, fellowship interviews from a hospital bed, and the daily practice of living fully in every role: son, pharmacist, husband, patient, and father.
Written at the intersection of health and humanity, The Practicing Patient challenges the idea that expertise is limited to the clinic. It reveals how lived experience-even in its most fragile moments-can inform, advocate, and illuminate. Along the way, it invites readers to reconsider what healing means. Because healing isn't always about curing-it's about integrating. It's the act of embracing every part of who you are, then using that wholeness to speak up, to advocate, and to be seen. Not choosing one role over another but honoring the full self that holds them all-and recognizing that voice, presence, and truth have power in every room you enter.For patients, caregivers, healthcare professionals, and anyone navigating the blurry space between what hurts and what's possible-this is a story that meets you at eye level and then walks with you toward what's next.
