• If you would’ve told younger me that she would be reading a book about tuberculosis written by the same author as The Fault in Our Stars, a book she was weeping over, she would’ve laughed in your face & asked why. Well, younger me, you are now someone who works in healthcare as a pharmacy technician & you’ve become interested in learning about your field. Didn’t see that one coming, did ya?

• When I saw Everything is Tuberculosis was being released, written by John Green of all people, my interest was immediately piqued. I feel like I can’t really do a proper review on this, so I’m going to let the quotes, facts, & statistics do the talking for me.

• I’m glad John Green is bringing more awareness to this disease & how people are suffering who shouldn’t be. Healthcare should not be a luxury. We as a society need to do better, in more ways than one.
