Medicos Aventuros: Advenures doctors. The TB disease is a sickness devouring the lungs, somes organs and some bones. The best treatment of TB is DOTS ( Directly observed treatment short-course chemotherapy).
Farmer was not enthusiatic with the the Carabayllo Socios en Salud at first, but after he changed his mind and he asked Tom white for money and gave Jim advice and encouragement to keep working at the clinic.
The medical about the TB case compared to those in Haiti is that in Haiti, there is no cases of drug resistant while in Lima there is. We can notice the case of Brigida from Lima who was re-treated again with the same drug and who got sick again.
Farmer supports the WHO's philosophy. We can notice it on page 138 where " he applauded WHO's plan to spread it all over the word". we support that philosophy because it will permit to many people , mainly poor people to get treated.
Multidrug resistant TB cases was ampified by the fact that the WHO was given wrong drugs to patient which were both dangerous and useless. Also in the poor countries they usually died because they can not get good treament since it is very expensive.
