John Green's recent book, "Everything Is Tuberculosis," explores how societal perceptions of tuberculosis have evolved, reflecting deeper truths about illness as more than mere biology. He discusses the moral implications attached to diseases and how they can lead to harmful stigma. By examining the history of tuberculosis, Green emphasizes the importance of compassion and understanding in addressing health issues, reminding us that the way we interpret illness reflects broader social systems and power dynamics. His narrative invites readers to see individuals in their full humanity rather than just as cases.
Known by students worldwide for his quirky and informative "Crash Course" videos, author John Green recently released a book all about tuberculosis.
Green underscores that how we explain illness determines how we respond to it. Throughout history, tuberculosis has been blamed on everything from sexual immorality to demon possession.
