| dcterms.abstract | The Waiting Room is a hybrid memoir that explores chronic illness, disability, and major surgery as well as the relentless and unsubstantial pursuit of cure. Through this project, I navigate the complexities of love and reshape an understanding of healing and overcoming. The narrative attempts to reclaim the space of the waiting room, a place often laden with trauma, disappointment, neglect, and the pain of not being seen. Instead, The Waiting Room grapples with notions of cure and identity by making the waiting room the site of meaning and narrative. A critical introduction precedes the creative work and contextualizes the memoir in the fields of disability and trauma studies, and memoir. The creative work in thisdissertation is suppressed in the UH institutional repository, ScholarSpace, https:// scholarspace.manoa.hawaii.edu/. Inquiries about the creative work should be made to Kristin Olsen Santana. | |
