Haitians are kind, fatalistic, and trust in God. They also trust their doctors implicitly. Unlike Americans, they don't really make their own medical decisions it seems, God and the doctors do. This book covers several other patients also who are helped and two that due before they cannot be helped. Not everything in medicine has a happy ending. Frankly, I don't know how anything can have a happy ending in such grinding poverty. A taxi driver in the book told the doctor out of every 100 people in Haiti only 2-3 of them will eat that day. Partners in health bring self-sustaining self-sufficient hospitals to the poorest places on earth like Haiti, Liberia, Sierra Leone, etc. They use solar panels for electricity. I thought this book would be a downer or depressing but it wasn't. It was hopeful. I especially enjoyed reading all the Haitian proverbs. "A person is a person" "After God is the Doctor" "Many hands make the burden lighter"" Little by little the bird builds it's best" ( )
