Samenvatting
NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER The powerful story of an inspiring doctor who made a difference, by helping to create a program to care for Bostons homeless communityby the Pulitzer Prizewinning, New York Times bestselling author of Mountains Beyond Mountains
I couldnt put Rough Sleepers down. I am left in awe of the human spirit and inspired to do better.Abraham Verghese, author of Cutting for Stone
Tracy Kidder has been described by The Baltimore Sun as a master of the nonfiction narrative. In Rough Sleepers, Kidder shows how one person can make a difference, as he tells the story of Dr. Jim OConnell, a gifted man who invented ways to create a community of care for a citys unhoused population, including those who sleep on the streetsthe rough sleepers.
When Jim OConnell graduated from Harvard Medical School and was nearing the end of his residency at Massachusetts General Hospital, the chief of medicine made a proposal: Would he defer a prestigious fellowship and spend a year helping to create an organization to bring health care to homeless citizens? Jim took the job because he felt he couldnt refuse. But that year turned into his lifes calling. Tracy Kidder spent five years following Dr. OConnell and his colleagues as they served their thousands of homeless patients. In this illuminating book we travel with OConnell as he navigates the city, offering medical care, socks, soup, empathy, humor, and friendship to some of the citys most endangered citizens. He emphasizes a style of medicine in which patients come first, joined with their providers in what he calls a system of friends.
Much as he did with Paul Farmer in Mountains Beyond Mountains, Kidder explores how a small but dedicated group of people have changed countless lives by facing one of American societys difficult problems instead of looking away.
