  Rheumatology is a branch of medicine that focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, and management of musculoskeletal diseases and systemic autoimmune conditions, commonly referred to as rheumatic diseases. These conditions primarily affect the joints, bones, muscles, and connective tissues, leading to pain, stiffness, swelling, and disability. The role of the rheumatologist is to evaluate and manage these disorders, aiming to reduce symptoms, prevent disease progression, and improve the quality of life for patients. 
  Rheumatic diseases encompass a wide range of conditions, some of which are common and others rare. Among the most prevalent are diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, and gout. These disorders can range in severity from mild joint discomfort to life-threatening systemic inflammation, often involving multiple organs. The key characteristic of many rheumatic diseases is the involvement of the immune system in causing inflammation and damage to the body’s tissues. 
  One of the hallmarks of rheumatology is its emphasis on autoimmunity. In autoimmune diseases, the body's immune system mistakenly attacks its own tissues, considering them foreign. This immune dysregulation is often the root cause of many rheumatic conditions, and understanding the immune mechanisms at play is crucial for accurate diagnosis and effective treatment. The immune response can lead to chronic inflammation, tissue damage, and, over time, the destruction of joints and other vital structures. In some cases, the underlying cause is still not fully understood, which makes the diagnosis and management of these conditions complex.

  From the author of the critically-acclaimed true crime account, A Killer By Design (the inspiration behind Hulu's original docuseries, Mastermind), a groundbreaking look into the crucial role played by expert witnesses in the most high-profile criminal cases, based on Dr. Ann Burgess’ personal experiences within the criminal justice system.  Written through Burgess’ singular lens of compassion and lived experience, Expert Witness pulls back the curtain on some of the biggest cases in the last thirty years—from Bill Cosby to the Menendez brothers to Larry Nassar—to reveal the deeply human stories behind the trials that have captivated a nation. The book explores the role of expert witnesses in high stakes court cases, offering first-hand accounts and never-before-seen interviews with attorneys, victims, and offenders. Expert Witness places readers inside the mind of the nation’s most prominent courtroom expert, following Burgess as she takes on one seismic case after the next. Throughout the narrative, each case deepens the reader’s understanding of the art and science of expert testimony, taking readers from the women’s movement of the 1970s to the #MeToo movement of today—one of the largest social reckonings in recent history. At its core, Expert Witness is a story of empowerment. It’s a story of compassion and the ever-increasing need for individuals to stand up and speak truth to power or to popular opinion. And it's ultimately a story of how revolutionary one voice can be.
