I am loving this book so much so that I’m going to keep a list of quotes here that will stick w me forever:
“But along the way, I learned that TB is both a form and expression of injustice. And I learned that how we imagine illness shapes our societies and our priorities.”
“Looking at history through any single lens creates distortions, because history is too complex for any one way of looking to suffice”
