Although I appreciate the message behind this book and the incredible story of this man’s work, the book was boring and tedious at times. I did highlight many quotes I liked, such as, “…paying attention to individual patients was a moral imperative.” (P. 146). Farmer’s commitment to being a doctor to his patients, individually, is inspiring and important. ( )
''Mountains Beyond Mountains'' is inspiring, disturbing, daring and completely absorbing. It will rattle our complacency; it will prick our conscience.
