#EverythingIsTuberculosis by #JohnGreen was a good read/listen (I went with the audiobook). While injustice in medicine isn't a new concept for me, John's writing really weaves the historical narrative, individual stories, medicial understanding, and possible virtuous cycles we can strive towards into a sometimes heart-wrenching but very human look into the matter. 10/10.
