Kidder tells the story of Dr. Paul Farmer, an epidemiologist & physician who dedicated his talents & time to serving communities under the pall of poverty. Farmer’s goal was to provide preferential health-care options for anyone afflicted by disenfranchisement or oppression.
The infectious disease expert’s journey is based mainly in Haiti, Peru, and Russia; focusing as well on his start-up organization Partner’s In Health. There is much to be learned in the pages about medicine, philantropy, etc… but the brightest gems are the beliefs that drive Farmer to a life of service. One such philosophy is that socioeconomic conditions are inherently tied to health outcomes; therefore, to ignore social inequalities is to be ambivalent of preventable suffering.
Farmer’s dedication, optimism, and altruism outlined in this novel will add jet-fuel to the heart of anyone with a burning passion for public health, rehalitation, or medicine.
I wanted to get my partner a certain book this past Valentine’s Day, but every book store in the county was out of stock. Finally, I got a retailer on the phone that claimed to have a copy. I set out on the 45 min trip excitedly.
When I arrived, they told me that they actually only rented certain texts. The clerk forgot to tell me over the phone that this was one of them.
Determined not to leave empty handed, I perused the collection up for purchase. On a 50 cent shelf, I found three novels I thought my partner would really enjoy. Sitting next to the last of these make-shift gifts was Mountains Beyond Mountains.
