"Mountains Beyond Mountains" Ch 3

     One interesting thing I learned in chapter 3 is that Farmer sacrificed everything for the people in Haiti. He gave up his family to be in Haiti. He didn't have money, and that didn't stop him. He was always concerned about patients and didn't get much sleep. His interpretation of patients were compared to plants which were nurtured, healthy, and happy. The way he taught clinicians were to not let patients see they have problems as well or be in a hurry, which was basically 100% commitment towards every patient. To Haitians, Farmer was a saint and a instant life saver.
