SUMMARY:Nonfiction Book Discussion "Everything Is Tuberculosis" by John Green
DESCRIPTION:"Tuberculosis has been entwined with hu­manity for millennia. Once romanticized as a malady of poets\, today tuberculosis is seen as a disease of poverty that walks the trails of injustice and inequity we blazed for it.\n\nIn 2019\, author John Green met Henry Reider\, a young tuberculosis patient at Lakka Government Hospital in Sierra Leone. John be­came fast friends with Henry\, a boy with spindly legs and a big\, goofy smile. In the years since that first visit to Lakka\, Green has become a vocal advocate for increased access to treatment and wider awareness of the healthcare inequi­ties that allow this curable\, preventable infec­tious disease to also be the deadliest\, killing over a million people every year.\n\nIn Everything Is Tuberculosis\, John tells Henry’s story\, woven through with the scientific and social histories of how tuberculosis has shaped our world—and how our choices will shape the future of tuberculosis."- From the Publisher\n\nFind the ebook/eaudiobook here
