About this item

From the real-life Meredith Grey, comes an inspiring collection of essays based on Dr. Erin Nance’s popular TikTok account @littlemissdiagnosed, detailing Dr. Nance’s journey as a young female orthopedic surgeon navigating challenging cases and ethical dilemmas in the high-stakes, cutthroat world of medicine. In her debut essay collection, renowned orthopedic surgeon Dr. Erin Nance offers a raw, unfiltered look into the exhilarating yet complicated world of healthcare. Compassionate, honest, and most of all, transformative, Little Miss Diagnosed tells the story of how a modern female surgeon survived family tragedy, systemic sexism, and everything New York City had to throw at her, to become the most trusted doctor on the internet. Through her popular social media presence, she has become a trusted figure for shedding light on these issues, making her insights and advice invaluable to readers. Little Miss Diagnosed offers even more of that unique and unfiltered perspective on the healthcare system, providing readers with a deeper understanding of its inner workings and how to navigate it effectively. As thought-provoking, as it is revealing, what started as an honest attempt at sharing stories to humanize medicine, became a catalyst for @littlemissdiagnosed, Nance’s viral TikTok account that has grown to inspire thousands daily. With gripping accounts of true cases, Little Miss Diagnosed serves as a powerful testament to the resilience and care often thought missing in the medical world. The essay collection expands on familiar favorite stories and brings in a bevy of new ones. Nance's dedication to listening to her patients and finding personal solutions bring to mind the dedication and tenaciousness of the beloved Meredith Grey, but in an equally challenging and even more male-dominated specialty. From lying to hospital administrators to get a homeless woman a lifesaving surgery to solving a one-year long medical mystery Dr. House style, each anecdote reflects Dr. Nance's commitment to her patients and the world at large. With decades of expertise under her belt, Dr. Nance’s Little Miss Diagnosed goes beyond memoir, allowing readers to feel they have slipped on their own white coats, solving cases and treating people, while recognizing what it’s like to live within the American health care system and the dedication it takes to move beyond it.
