This was a book for book club, and it's not something I would have picked up on my own. I'm so glad I read it though--it's all about Paul Farmer, a doctor who has devoted his life (and I mean every minute of his life) to taking care of the poorest people in the world. Haiti is his favorite place, where he first realized his calling, and he spends most of his time there. But he travels all around the world, incessantly, treating MDR tuberculosis and AIDS in particular. We had our book club meeting last night, and we all agreed that we felt terribly shallow and self-absorbed and complacent after reading this. Amy, if you're reading this: you would really love this book, I think.
