Sick in a Foreign Land: My Struggle to Survive After Emigrating

By Andreas Vollmer and Dipl.-Hdl. Jens-Peter Mickmann

Sick in a Foreign Land - My Struggle for Survival After Emigration A true story of hope, homelessness, and the fight to survive What happens when a new beginning turns into a nightmare? When illness strikes - far from home - and you suddenly find yourself caught between two systems, two countries, and completely alone, lost in the paragraphs of bureaucracy? In "Sick in a Foreign Land - My Struggle for Survival After Emigration" , the author shares her journey with raw honesty: emigrating to Norway, driven by the hope of a freer, healthier life - and the brutal shock of reality when a serious illness changed everything. Set against the backdrop of majestic fjords and a cold, impersonal bureaucracy, this is a drama that shakes faith in healthcare systems and reveals the limits of human endurance. The reader is taken into a world where people become files - and yet, somehow, never completely lose their dignity. Vivid and authentic: A moving life story about illness, exclusion, and an unbreakable will to never give up. Socially critical and relevant: How our healthcare systems fail - and why humanity must not be a choice, but a responsibility. Hopeful and inspiring: Despite everything - love, strength, and belief in the good guide the way through the darkest times. A valuable guide for emigrants: This book offers deep insights into bureaucratic hurdles, medical care abroad, and the emotional rollercoaster of emigration - making it an essential companion for anyone considering a fresh start in another country. This book is more than a personal story - it's a call to action for politics, society, and each of us to take a closer look: What happens to people when they get sick and no one feels responsible? For readers of autobiographies, social critiques, emigration tales, illness memoirs - and anyone seeking orientation on their path abroad. A book that lingers. Because it's not just meant to be read - it's meant to be felt.
