A few months ago, editor Ari Weitzman was responding to some emails at a tea shop in Burlington, VT, when a fellow patron noticed the Tangle sticker on the back of his laptop. The person was Sam Gittleman, who coincidentally is a friend of another Tangle editor, Will Kaback. It turns out that Sam is also a talented writer, and this week we’re proud to present his moving piece about managing and recovering from chronic pain in his knees. The often frustrating journey to medical answers through a byzantine health system filled with blindered specialists and false-hope peddlers is unfortunately relatable, but his resolve and eventual discovery of a path towards health can be familiar, too. And even inspirational.
