Confession: Until less than a decade ago, I thought TB was an illness of the past, an affliction that no longer debilitated or killed in any significant way. Wrong. It took having a friend with deep expertise in TB for me to learn that millions are impacted and/or killed by TB (even if in the US, we’re sheltered from it). It took John Green‘s book for me to begin to grasp the magnitude and urgency of the situation. This is an exceptional book.
