September 17th

Chapter 3: Explain Farmer's use of the word "comma".
Farmer uses the word comma to express his anger twords those people in the world who do not see a problem with the way things are going in regards to money and drug distribution.


Chapter 4: Explain how Farmer resolved the conflict between medicine and the Zanmi Lasante's cultural beliefs. What does the proverb "mountain beyond mountains" mean?
Farmer realized that many of his patients believed that illness was sent by curses and that the illness that they suffered from did not come from germs. He decides that if he puts more into these peoples lives they will get more out of them. He insists on getting to know the people, sending them money for food and the childrens education, and he also tells them that they must come back for checkups.
Mountains beyond mountians means that in life there are many obsticals, that once you get over one another appears before you.
