Chapter 19 simply expresses a thorough description of Jim Kim. It explores his optimism and childhood as well. There were many arguments dealing with the topic of M.D.R Treatments, revealing Kim's meeting to produce the DOTS-Plus Programs. In result to Kim's optimism, he also begins to question himself regarding a topic of 19th through 21st century utilitarian philosophy. Making any type of proposals, Kim realizes that they must pass a Cost-Effectiveness Analysis. M.D.R treatment is cost-effective in a place like New York, but not in a place like Peru. What Kim and Farmer discover is that the treatment is highly expensive due to the pricey drugs involved. However, Kim tries his hardest to drive the prices down and try to get them low enough. He seems clueless but very determined to make an assertion towards the situation.
In addition to Jim Kim's background, he was a South-Korean. He grew up in Muscatine, Iowa where his father was a periodontist. Kim's practices made his father very proud of him. That being said, the mother taught her children to explore their lives and discover what is happening in the world. Jim played many sports and was a valedictorian in all his classes. However, Jim was embarrassed during his childhood days. He would always be teased due to Asian background.
