Everything Is Tuberculosis

"Everything Is Tuberculosis" by John Green is an insightful non-fiction book that explores the complex relationship between humanity and tuberculosis. Tuberculosis, a disease that has been intertwined with humanity for millennia, is examined in this work not only as a medical issue but also as a reflection of social injustices and inequalities. Green tells the poignant story of Henry, a young tuberculosis patient from Sierra Leone, and highlights the challenges associated with combating this preventable disease. Through personal experiences and well-researched scientific analyses, the reader is encouraged to reflect on the global health disparities that make tuberculosis one of the deadliest diseases in the world. This book is significant for both healthcare professionals and interested laypeople, as it emphasizes the need for better access to treatments and greater awareness of this neglected disease.
