My thought so far on Mountains Beyond Mountains

Today in class we read chapter 2 of "Mountains Beyond Moutains" by Tracy Kidder. During this chapter the setting goes five years ahead during 1999 in Boston, where Dr. Paul Farmer lives and has a different setting of medical work besides Haiti. While reading this chapter you learn that Farmer really enjoys his job, and tends to mess around with people. You also learn that he is very caring toward his patients, and especially the patient named Joe that was mention in this chapter. Throughout this chapter I learned how passionate Farmer is when helping people and also he shows us how U.S. citizens cause their own diseases and sicknesses when people in Haiti have no choice with getting diseases or trying to prevent them. Even though Farmer thinks he's not a saint, compared to a lot of people in the U.S., he's helped more people then we have in our whole life.
