Join international award-winning humor writer and lifelong hypochondriac Angelina Assanti as she speaks with people who have real health conditions that were self-discovered. Angelina's own cancer diagnosis was overlooked when her general practitioner's office claimed she needed a heart monitor - which she didn't. Sometimes people have legitimate health problems that are dismissed as anxiety. Angelina doesn't believe in talking points or planned questions so that the conversation can evolve organically - which means anything can happen!
