Chapter nine Reflection

Chapter nine is about Dr. Farmer framing his public health system in Cange. In this chapter Ophelia has come back to help him with the health census and his medical work. The chapter explains how other doctors has said this project was near impossible due to the already impoverished condition of Cange, but Dr. Farmer insists that his goal stayed the same. The chapter explains and describes how Farmer got his first funding set up by Tom White by reading his Harvard essay. In my opinion Farmer and White became close friends and even joked around a bit when they were around each other. Farmer sort of gave White a first hand experience of what Haiti was like and eventually at the end of the chapter it seemed like White understood everything Farmer was doing. White enjoyed Farmers work ethic and how he was so committed and dedicated to what he was doing, he told him that was the kind of people he likes. White even said he'd want to join Farmer but of course Farmer thought White was lying.
