Chapter 20

In this chapter Farmer is already 40 which means that years have passed and he is still working in the same thing with the same routine and he still cares about helping people at any cost, but each time he has more tasks to do because he is going to other countries like Peru and Lima and now he became a teacher at Harvard. In this chapter Kidder also describes some of the great qualities of Farmer and how he cares a lot about his patients because the main purpose of the journey he is doing is to visit the son of one of his patients because he is in jail and Farmer is doing everything he cans in order to take him out. Finally at the end of the chapter he travels to Cuba where he is going to have new adventures, more duties, and more patients.
