Everything Is Tuberculosis

內容簡介

內容簡介 Everything Is Tuberculosis是約翰．葛林（John Green）所著的深具人文關懷的故事，揭示了全球對抗世界最致命傳染病結核病的奮鬥歷程。作為全球醫療改革的熱情倡導者，約翰．葛林呈現了結核病如何與人類相互交織千年，並且現在被視為一種貧困病，跟隨著不公與不平等的歷史軌跡。結核病曾被浪漫化為詩人的病症，但今天，它被認為是貧窮的代名詞，並且這種傳染病的蔓延在貧窮與社會不公的背景中更加嚴重。2019年，約翰．葛林在獅子山共和國的一處政府醫院遇到了年輕的結核病患者亨利‧賴德（Henry Reider），亨利是一個有著纖細雙腿、滿臉堆滿笑容的大男孩。約翰與亨利很快的結為好友。在那次初次訪問拉卡醫院後，格林成為了增加治療可及性、提高對結核病及相關醫療不平等問題關注的積極倡議者。結核病是一種可治療、可預防的傳染病，然而它卻仍然是全球最致命的疾病，每年奪走超過百萬人的生命。在Everything is Tuberculosis中，約翰．葛林講述了亨利的故事，並將其與結核病的科學與社會歷史交織在一起，探討結核病如何塑造了我們的世界，以及我們的選擇如何將影響未來的結核病防治。John Green, the #1 bestselling author of The Anthropocene Reviewed and a passionate advocate for global healthcare reform, tells a deeply human story illuminating the fight against the world’s deadliest infectious disease.Tuberculosis has been entwined with hu­manity for millennia. Once romanticized as a malady of poets, today tuberculosis is seen as a disease of poverty that walks the trails of injustice and inequity we blazed for it.In 2019, author John Green met Henry Reider, a young tuberculosis patient at Lakka Government Hospital in Sierra Leone. John be­came fast friends with Henry, a boy with spindly legs and a big, goofy smile. In the years since that first visit to Lakka, Green has become a vocal advocate for increased access to treatment and wider awareness of the healthcare inequi­ties that allow this curable, preventable infec­tious disease to also be the deadliest, killing over a million people every year.In Everything Is Tuberculosis, John tells Henry’s story, woven through with the scientific and social histories of how tuberculosis has shaped our world—and how our choices will shape the future of tuberculosis.
