Show Notes

On a visit to Lakka Government Hospital in Sierra Leone, bestselling author John Green met Henry, a charismatic patient who looks much younger than his age due to the ravages of a tuberculosis infection on his body. They established a friendship, and Green's interest in the disease grew, leading him to become a supporter of Partners in Health and an advocate for reducing disparities in treatment. Host Jo Reed and contributor Alex Richey discuss the way that Green presents his own account of visiting with afflicted patients and learning about the challenges they face, particularly in poorer countries, in this compassionate examination.
