The story of Doctor Paul farmer, a man who came from meager means and found the less fortunate. He dedicated his life to treating the poor and sick. His story is inspiring at the core but I found the writing to be a little slow. Still, a great reminder that any privilege can be used to transform lives. Great imagery of Haitian communities and the struggle to survive with nothing.

It was absolutely enthralling. I mean, the story of Dr. Paul Farmer is itself astounding; he is basically on a quest to eliminate tuberculosis and AIDS around the world.
But even the intensity of his generosity and lack of weariness, the writing is what really grabbed me. Tracy Kidder blends the history and context of countries with Dr. Paul Farmer's work within them to give readers a sense of place. He makes convoluted systems, bureaucracies, and diseases understandable. He weaves humanness into the most dull of topics and keeps you engaged.

Great opportunity to read about Paul Farmer and Partners in Health’s mission of TB in Haiti.
“If Paul is the model, we’re f*cked.”
We don’t need to imitate Paul Farmer. Rather, Jim Yong Kim says we need to take away Paul’s approach to problem solving.
Up until the end of this book, Paul was making house calls—even if it took them all day to reach a patient. It’s worth it.
