Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Farmer, eager to return to his clinic and patients, drives as fast as he can, as usual. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z I never heard Farmer complain of having too many patients, and it seemed clear that he couldn’t feel comfortable anywhere not having any at all. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z A few days later, asked for his opinion of a rumor circulating about that a “Red Chinese” plot brought about the murder, Farmer said, “I would not say it is impossible.” The Autobiography of Malcolm X 1965-01-01T00:00:00Z Farmers trekked into town with their children and wives streaming around them.

The Parker Inheritance 2018-03-27T00:00:00Z At the end of that week, when Ophelia accompanied Farmer back to Port-au-Prince, the Rover came to an abrupt stop on the highway. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z As they sat in Farmer’s office, she said she understood the clinic’s message about germs and disease but still couldn’t escape the conclusion that sorcery had played a hand in her dead son’s fate. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Cuba really was a holiday, by Farmer’s standards. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z I began to pose a hypothetical question, which I thought expressed insight into Farmer’s itinerant, nomadic life. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z By using the word new, Farmer was playing on the term triangular trade, the trade that had created the French slave colony that eventually became Haiti. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z “Your X-ray looks good. I think it’s probably pneumonia. A little bit of pneumonia,” said Farmer. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z It no longer surprised them; but he made no secret that he owed his recent knowledge largely to Farmer Maggot, whom he seemed to regard as a person of more importance than they had imagined.

The Parker Inheritance 2018-03-27T00:00:00Z As Howard Hiatt had done, Sachs began talking to influential individuals and institutions about using Farmer’s clinic as a world model. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Farmer listens good-naturedly, interpreting Ti Jean’s words as “a giant morality play, a commentary on social inequality.” Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z To Farmer and Jim, the implications of this shortsightedness were ominous. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Farmer had made friends with many of them during his tours of the prisons, and everyone knew the TB project couldn’t succeed without their support. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z One evening Farmer and I went to dinner at Pérez’s house, which was as large and well-furnished as a unit in a decent American housing development. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z When Pérez came to Boston, I learned, he liked to go on rounds with Farmer. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Farmer confidently told them he had consulted world-renowned experts and read all the literature. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z There were so many wealthy kids at Duke that Farmer was charmed by what money could buy, even if he had very little of it. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Farmer tried to reason with Alex, but the Russian wasn’t pacified. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Then we heard a car horn and Tag Farmer drove his old Mercury out on the slack. October Sky 1999-04-01T00:00:00Z Tag Farmer, leaning against an old wooden filing cabinet in the corner, nodded. October Sky 1999-04-01T00:00:00Z “Farmers have to use a lot more land to produce one pound of meat than to produce a pound of—what's it called?—soybeans.” Among the Hidden 1998-03-01T00:00:00Z Carroll insisted he couldn’t be sure, but Farmer said that everyone in the region had a very clear idea who the killer was. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Farmer had a way making almost anyone feel immediately comfortable in his presence. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Farmer was hoping Aristide would openly challenge the junta by running for president. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z I walked with Farmer across the top of the Péligre Dam with its rusted railings and flaking concrete. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z While he had not yet attended Harvard Medical School, it seemed to Ophelia that Farmer already seemed to know a lot about medicine and especially anthropology. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z In addition to starting the clinic, Farmer’s organization had also raised funds to build schools, houses, and communal sanitation and water systems. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Farmer was trained as an internist and ID specialist, but he had studied other fields on his own, including obstetrics and gynecology, because the needs of his patients demanded it. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z That was the mentality among peasant farmers, Farmer said. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Dr. Ezekowitz’s statement was typical of the small victories that kept Farmer’s spirits elevated and gave momentum to his mission. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Farmer had first met Father Jack when the priest was at St. Mary’s parish in Roxbury, one of Boston’s run-down, largely African American neighborhoods. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Since then, some of the city’s charm had worn off for Farmer. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Farmer and Jim were, among other things, pragmatists who understood that even with Tom White’s generosity and PIH’s fund-raising efforts, the organization was overextended and sometimes close to being broke. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Farmer passed on the news to the boy about the lawyer, delivering hope amid all the squalor. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Farmer remembered all of his patients—he kept track of their faces and quirks and the dates he had seen them, using mnemonic devices, just like his flash cards in medical school. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Despite Farmer being upbeat with the prisoners, and the heroic efforts of the Russian medical staff, he and Goldfarb knew things were not getting better. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Of course, something told me that Farmer was more than a simple country doctor. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Farmer spent a great deal of time with John in his hospital room. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Farmer asked a fellow freshman, who was unpacking his dry-cleaned clothes, “How come you put your shirts in plastic?” Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z For this he had the support of several important faculty members who had taken a liking to Farmer and admired his accomplishments. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z In Farmer’s case, I thought it was because he couldn’t allow himself to be the one to set it aside. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Hepatitis A is rarely fatal, but Farmer’s case was so severe that Jim and other doctors worried he might need a liver transplant. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Ti Jean, who has learned something about medicine and gives a portion of his paycheck to destitute patients, is also Paul’s main local male confidant—“my chief of staff,” Farmer calls him. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Farmer Cotton collected an escort of some two dozen sturdy hobbits. The Return of the King 1955-10-20T00:00:00Z Pérez, who was an important and busy man in his country, continually chose to spend time with Farmer rather than other the conference. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z By email Farmer replied, “Ah, this is not my real body of work. To see that, you have to come to Haiti.” Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Mrs. Farmer murmured to herself as she flipped through each page, pausing every once in a while to talk about someone from long ago. The Parker Inheritance 2018-03-27T00:00:00Z As Farmer drove his visitor on Highway 3 to Cange, he narrated Haiti. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z One morning, I accompanied Farmer on a trip that I would soon learn was not unusual for him. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Farmer was also appalled by the extent of the city’s slums. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Farmer was agreeing emphatically, I could tell, and Serena said again, “I have no doubt we did the right thing.” Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z As they neared the park, Candice found herself stewing over Mrs. Farmers words about her grandmother. The Parker Inheritance 2018-03-27T00:00:00Z “If he wants to meet me, tell him to come to Haiti,” Farmer replied. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z When Farmer remained in Haiti, White found himself running errands in Boston for projects in Cange, picking up things like sinks and other supplies that couldn’t be found in Haiti. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Farmers several miles from the plant began to report unexplained sickness among livestock; they complained of extensive crop damage. Silent Spring 1962-09-27T00:00:00Z Farmers, on the other hand, lived in artificial human islands that they laboriously carved out of the surrounding wilds. Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind 2011-01-01T00:00:00Z Of the two talks Farmer was scheduled to deliver, one was for clinicians about the specifics of treating AIDS, and the other was more general, about poverty and inequality, especially in Haiti. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z I once heard Farmer say that he hoped a day would come when he could do a good job just by showing up. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z The work that Farmer started in Haiti more than thirty years ago continues to evolve. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Cange had always been a special sanctuary for Farmer, and part of him wanted to keep it that way. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z While the dew was still on the roses, the road outside Grandma’s house was thronged with people coming in from as far away now as Argenta and Farmer City for the parade. A Long Way from Chicago 1998-09-01T00:00:00Z Many staff thought it was time to call in hospice care for the man, but Farmer insisted cheerily, “He’s going to walk out of here.” Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z “I never had a sense of hometown,” Farmer told me. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Farmer had not only exposed his deepest self to her, but also to some degree changed her life. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Serena emailed Farmer about her concerns, urging Paul to consider the medevac option. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Farmer made sure I noticed that Pérez’s driver ate with the family. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Others on Farmer’s staff said that sorcery, not lack of food, was the primary culprit. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Wherever Farmer walked in the city he felt the presence of the tontons macoutes, Baby Doc’s infamous secret police, who hid behind dark glasses and seemed to shadow foreign visitors. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z When he was released from the hospital two weeks later, Ophelia sent him and Didi to a hotel in southern France, Farmer’s first real vacation in years. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Whatever the price of saving lives, Farmer and Lafontant believed, it must be paid. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Farmer’s gentle doctor’s voice comes from behind me, asking how I feel. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z When the elections were finally held, and certified by outside observers that included former President Jimmy Carter, Farmer was in Port-au-Prince. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Farmer asked, referring to his argument with Alex about pardoning prisoners. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Farmer kneels on the dirt floor and takes the man’s pulse and blood pressure, then puts a stethoscope to his chest. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Farmer knew none would survive if something wasn’t done for them quickly. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z It was ridiculous to think he could perform sorcery, Farmer said, but almost every Haitian believed in its powers because their culture had evolved in the absence of effective medicine. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z The view of the Péligre Dam and its immense lake and the land it had drowned was, so to speak, another mountain to Farmer. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Farmer didn’t dare go back by the same route, on foot over the dam. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z One day I accompanied Farmer on a consulting appointment at the Children’s Hospital in downtown Lima. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Farmer was a diplomat, too, but he often lacked Jim’s patience. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z In his speeches, Farmer liked to talk about “the nation of humanity,” as opposed to developed or undeveloped nations. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Farmers would soon be coming in to arrange credit terms and buy seed and guano. Cold Sassy Tree 1984-11-02T00:00:00Z Farmer was supposed to be there as well, but he was stuck in Paris due to a delay in getting a visa. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Among them was a precocious and stunning young drama student named Frances Farmer, who less than two years later the rest of them would be watching on the silver screen. The Boys in the Boat: Nine Americans and Their Epic Quest for Gold at the 1936 Berlin Olympics 2014-05-27T00:00:00Z I was determined not to complain to Farmer—he had enough to deal with—but I did anyway. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z In medical school, the first two years consisted mainly of lecture courses, but Farmer managed, with the blessing of the faculty, to make frequent visits to Haiti, taking his notes and textbooks with him. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z On the plane to Lima for Father Jack’s memorial service, Farmer wondered to Ophelia what he could have done to save his good friend. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z In Cange, Farmer lived in a small house, with a bathroom but no hot water, on a hill across from the clinic complex. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Farmer crouched down and wrapped his arms around the child. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Farmer decided that all TB patients in the catchment area should receive the full package of services, including the equivalent of five American dollars per month. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z “There’s a global shortage of capreo,” he said to Farmer over the phone. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z He explained that the colonel only wanted to know if he needed permission from Farmer to smoke his cigarette, if that was what happened in a democracy. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Farmer suspected some kind of cancer, but a diagnosis that would take only hours in Boston can take weeks when made between Haiti and Boston. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Her X-rays and CT films were mounted in a viewer for Farmer to study. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Farmer knew that liberation theology would be part of the platform of change. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z My comments must have struck Farmer as a put-down, because when I looked across the room his pale blue eyes were fixed on me. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z For the next five years, using the trailer park’s bathrooms and other public amenities, the Farmer family made the necessary adjustments that came with living in a bus. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Farmer was smiling, and I figured he was looking forward to Cuba, because he said, “No dead babies for a while.” Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z After Ms. Kathy found Ellie Farmers number, they spoke to Mrs. Farmer on the phone, and she suggested they visit in person. The Parker Inheritance 2018-03-27T00:00:00Z They were middle-class Haitians, Farmer said, adding that they regarded living in Cange as living in the sticks. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Farmers had more possessions and needed land for planting. Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind 2011-01-01T00:00:00Z It wasn’t the first time Farmer had heard himself called that. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z As he returned to the States, Farmer considered his year in Haiti, where he had met a beautiful and fascinating young woman and learned numerous lessons about poverty, culture, and religion, a success. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z When we arrive in Cange, Ti Jean serves us dinner at Farmer’s house. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Remorse aside, Farmer and Jim knew the clinical facts of Jack’s death were the real issue. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Though the fish are expensive to maintain, Ti Jean looks upon the pond approvingly because he knows it makes Farmer happy. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Farmer feared that PIH would be reduced to a tiny private charity, struggling to support its original project in the central plateau of Haiti. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z There rose a roar of voices all round them, and suddenly they were aware that Farmer Cotton was not all alone. The Return of the King 1955-10-20T00:00:00Z Here was someone she might be able to have fun with, but Ophelia also saw a sensitive, guarded side to Farmer. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Farmer knew that meager incomes didn’t guarantee disease and early death, but the two usually went together. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z But they had never met Jim, and even after the normal toasts were made, vodka glasses raised high, Jim felt they didn’t trust him, not without Farmer around. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Cange no longer looked like a miserable encampment of refugees, Farmer thought dryly, just a typical, extremely poor Haitian village. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Farmers still came to her court with burned bones, complaining of missing sheep, though Drogon had not returned to the city. A Dance with Dragons 2011-07-12T00:00:00Z Those who contracted MDR were left to die—as humanely as possible, because the foundation provided money for hospice care—but why, Farmer wondered, couldn’t some money be allocated to MDR? Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z On arrival, Farmer didn’t spend much time in Port-au-Prince. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Farmer knew that MDR was always worse in the places with the fewest resources to deal with it. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Life was sometimes lived on the edge, yet for all the jeopardy the Warden unintentionally put everyone in, Farmer told me, in the end he always managed to rescue the situation. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Farmer wasn’t put on earth to make anyone feel comfortable, except for those lucky enough to be his patients, and for the moment I had become one of those. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z “Toxic shock,” Farmer said, correcting the house staff’s diagnosis, and quickly adjusted the man’s medication. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z I take a long swig of my filtered water—Farmer and Ti Jean haven’t drunk anything yet—as we stride across a ridge through yellow grass. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Certainly Joe was a likely target for tuberculosis, Farmer agreed with the resident. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Farmer did all he could with the equipment in his bag, but he knew even the Brigham’s emergency room probably would have failed. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z At thirty-one years old, Farmer had dealt with more varieties of illness than most physicians would see in a lifetime. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Lives of service depend on the lives of support, Farmer would come to say. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z I was aware from media coverage that in addition to his work in Haiti and seeing patients in Boston, Farmer had begun working internationally in the field of tuberculosis. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Farmers had been using this phenomenon for millennia—breeding and interbreeding animals to produce natural variants, and selecting these variants over multiple generations. The Gene 2016-06-02T00:00:00Z Farmer told me he’d like to hang out at the conference, to meet people and to spread his message about disease and inequality, but he spent less time there than in our hotel room. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z In his pocket was a roll of cash that he quickly dispersed to beggars, an act that Farmer didn’t find objectionable but which he nonetheless deemed insufficient. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z That is Creole for Partners in Health, an organization Farmer and some supporters had created in Boston to raise funds for his work in Haiti. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Socios en Salud wasn’t granted access to Peru’s national lab, so Farmer sent the ten specimens back to Boston and deposited them at the Massachusetts State Lab. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Farmer suddenly looked so exhausted from the alcohol and his talking that he seemed on the verge of falling asleep. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z It is the most passionate of Farmer’s books, exploring the complicated history of American policy toward Haiti. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z “It’s not enough that Haitians get destroyed by everything else,” Farmer told me. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z In terms of a spreading epidemic, Farmer and Goldfarb knew this was a nightmare. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Farmer Maggot drew in his ponies and the waggon creaked to a halt. The Fellowship of the Ring 1954-07-29T00:00:00Z Not that they were hunted or killed, but many left the clinic from fear, and Farmer noted the “paralysis” and “lassitude” among those who stayed behind. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z It was Farmer’s style not to openly argue with authority, but he usually found ways to get what he wanted. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Farmer’s whimsical tone didn’t mean that everything he said wasn’t completely serious. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z It seems so unfair that a whole family like this is struck by one disease, Farmer laments. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Farmers—how did he remember so much about them? The Maze Runner 2009-10-06T00:00:00Z Farmer, who championed human rights and clearly was on the side of the poor, was arguing against it. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z As the meetings in Moscow continued, Farmer looked as if he was enjoying them less and less. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z By that alone Matt knew he must be a Farmer. The House of the Scorpion 2002-01-01T00:00:00Z Since I’m without a flashlight, Farmer and Ti Jean decide to take a different route than the way we came—one without rivers to cross and steep cliffs to scramble down. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z I began searching my mind for a consoling way to view the roadside sights and also, frankly, for something likely to impress Farmer. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Farmer started by asking what I was going to say about Che Guevara. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z It was July 1984, and Farmer, twenty-five, was traveling between Harvard Medical School and Haiti. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z The terms could seem impolite to an outsider, but they reflected Farmer’s sense of humor, his quick mind, and his prejudice for brevity. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Farmer was determined that one day he would help change it. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Farmer returned to the demonstrations and found more bloodied civilians. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z As we settled in the living room and Farmer watched Catherine play with her stuffed animals, Didi called to him from the kitchen. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z ‘We had our supper early with Farmer Maggot,' said Frodo; ‘but we could do with another.’ The Fellowship of the Ring 1954-07-29T00:00:00Z When Ophelia returned to the central plateau to work with Farmer in the summer of 1985, she noticed changes in him. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Farmer asked the young man if he disliked his TB medicines. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Farmer thought for a while, then said, “In your particular case, that would be a sin.” Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z A former student of Hiatt’s at the Harvard School of Public Health, Kochi had begun to reexamine his program under the constant pressure from Farmer. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Katy, Farmer’s oldest sister, suspected that more family adventures lay ahead, whether everyone liked it or not. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Farmer was normally a fast diagnostician, but he found himself stalling on his own case. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z As I slipped and slid over the muddy ground, trying to keep up with Farmer, we came upon a clearing. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Farmer liked to say that tuberculosis made its own preferential option for the poor. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Farmers greased up their tractors; Nick Rael ordered garden seeds, summer hoses, irrigation boots; and cows groaned and fell down and bore their calves. The Milagro Beanfield War 1974-01-01T00:00:00Z The first survey was just a beginning, Farmer knew, but it confirmed his worst suspicions. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z With initial funds from Tom White, and Farmer’s eventual strong support, Jim created a system of community health workers in Carabayllo. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Farmer reminds me of the woman who asked him years ago, “Are you incapable of complexity?” Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Farmers tend to eat a very limited and unbalanced diet. Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind 2011-01-01T00:00:00Z On the night of September 30, 1919, some one hundred African American sharecroppers attended a meeting of the Progressive Farmers and Household Union of America at a black church three miles north of Elaine, Arkansas. 1919 The Year That Changed America 2019-01-08T00:00:00Z In his worldview, as Farmer understands it, people turn themselves into animals for shifty reasons, or else local sorcerers turn them into animals as punishment, or simply for food. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z A council of Farmers was established, which dealt with international problems and kept peace between the various Farms. The House of the Scorpion 2002-01-01T00:00:00Z In his last two years at Duke, for all his early infatuation with the social life and trappings of wealth, Farmer quit his fraternity and began concentrating on his studies. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z On Christmas, Farmer spent part of the day visiting patients outside the hospital. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z The ambassador told Farmer, “Yes, we, too, are going to help with the Haitians.” Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z I might have commented on the beauty of the sight had I not become accustomed to reading Farmer’s face. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Jim’s “big shot” strategy, as Farmer called it, had worked: dream high, work hard, be open to new, better ideas when they come along, and never, ever give up. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z White seemed appropriately horrified by Farmer’s stories and by the poverty around him, not to mention the condition of the road, yet he didn’t talk much. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Glancing around, I was aware of the disconnect between Farmer’s world and the world of gift shops with luxury goods, affluent passengers, and the freedom for some to move about the world without restriction. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Many who lived here, Farmer told me, came from small villages in the distant Andean mountains—handsome people with jet-black hair and high cheekbones. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Like Farmer in Haiti, Jim had to deal with political uncertainty and violence. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Farmer had his own way of explaining our uncomfortable exchange. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Eduardo did a double take, climbed off his bike, and, approaching Farmer, greeted him with a heartfelt hug. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Farmer raised his glass in support of Alex, adding, “May he stay out of trouble.” Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Many business travelers rated it as one of their least favorite airports, but Farmer loved layovers here. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z “The Mango Lady” to Farmer was an illustration that accidents didn’t happen by accident. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Like Farmer, he had an expressive face that revealed his enthusiasm and determination, and as second in command at PIH, his role was to keep the wheels of that machine well oiled. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Farmer seemed to know everything about a country that baffled me on many levels, and his insights helped me with the article I was writing. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Many had feared Farmer would be criticized for going to costly extremes to save one particular life, and that parents would besiege Zanmi Lasante with demands that their sick children be flown to Boston. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z A week later, on New Year’s Day 2000, Farmer was back in Haiti. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Farmer asked if he wasn’t going to miss the work he’d done, because there was so much disease and the need for medical services was so urgent. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z We soon got to the heart of the matter: what really concerned Farmer was what I would write about him in Cuba. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Farmer and Jim reluctantly agreed that all patients had to complete the standard WHO protocol before their cases could be deemed “treatment failures.” Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z But it was also typical of Farmer that he couldn’t stay angry or upset for too long. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Farmer smiles and points to a hilltop in the distance. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Farmer didn’t like the idea of “noncompliant” patients, those who did not follow his instructions. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Farmer also agreed to serve as a consultant on TB in Russian prisons for the World Bank’s mission to Moscow. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z When he wasn’t in Haiti, Farmer frequently gave speeches, lots of them, and invariably he mentioned the dam we were now staring at. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Tied to a metal pipe in the bayou, surrounded by marsh grasses and lanky palm trees, the boat was the Farmers’ new home. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Farmer Fitzgibbon’s wife had given him the name as a joke when he was a small kitten pretending to be fierce. Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH 1970-06-01T00:00:00Z Over the next month or so, Ophelia saw Farmer whenever she could, both in Mirebalais and Port-au-Prince, and they enjoyed each other’s company. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Farmer, the anthropologist, designed his own study centered on a random group of about two hundred women in Cange. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z I was fourteen years older than Farmer but considered myself in decent physical shape. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Ti Jean was a muscular man in his thirties, a local farmer’s son who had witnessed what Farmer had accomplished in the central plateau over the last twenty years. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Farmer didn’t tell her that sorcery didn’t exist—it was too deeply embedded in the culture for him to dismiss it—but he assured her that her son had died of explainable medical causes. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Farmer, smiling gleefully, turned and watched the chase. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z They talked for a while, and then in Spanish Farmer asked Choumy, “Can I send you two students this year?” Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z I saw Carabayllo for the first time when accompanying Farmer on a trip to Lima. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z One day, Farmer promised himself, attached to the clinic would be a legitimate hospital, with equipment as good as anything found in a developed nation. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z He felt that Farmer, with his communication and political skills, was spending too much time with patients. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Farmer let several into the back of his car. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Regardless, all ten patients were very sick—some were carried in to see Farmer on stretchers—with TB that was resistant to four or even five drugs. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z It was a story of exploitation and disaster for at least a hundred thousand Haitians, and in one way or another, Farmer had to deal with it every day. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z “No couch potatoes in the family,” I once said to Farmer’s mother. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z An unchecked bwat on Farmer’s list of things to do read “Prison extraction.” Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Military checkpoints were suddenly everywhere on Highway 1, and Farmer, like everyone else, was expected to pay a bribe.

Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z She called Farmer, who was traveling, and asked what circumstances would keep them from bringing John to Boston. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Farmer agreed with some of the captain’s points. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z But Farmer Maggot took him by the arm. The Fellowship of the Ring 1954-07-29T00:00:00Z Farmer ultimately thought, “Screw this.

Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z It would be a few months before Farmer encountered Jon Carroll, the army captain, in the central plateau, and I got my first glimpse of the American doctor and his thoughts. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z ‘My Nibs is with them. But you can go and help him, if you have a mind,’ said Farmer Cotton with a grin. The Return of the King 1955-10-20T00:00:00Z Farmer didn’t stop in Cange for long, not on this first visit, because his goal was to see as much of Haiti as possible. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Neither had a license to practice in Peru, and at one point both Jim and Farmer had been threatened with expulsion from the country. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z While the captain had good reason to be frustrated, Farmer, describing the work he was doing at Mirebalais, was saying something different. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z On the morning we left for the Port-au-Prince airport, on our way to Havana via Miami, Farmer was in his suit. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z A young member of Partners in Health, or PIH-er in Farmer speak, was there to help him with the grant writing.

Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Farmer strongly believed that quarantines were not an effective strategy for handling AIDS, but the Cuban approach had been far more humane. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Farmer suspects he’s had a stroke because he has difficulty walking. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Farmer was aware of what his critics would say: why blow $150,000 on antibiotics that, if you’d waited a while, would have cost you a fraction of that? Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z That might have made those who were envious of him feel better, but I doubted that they understood Farmer. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Many suffered from one illness or another, Farmer observed, and Lafontant confirmed that there was little or no medicine for them. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z I apologize when I tell Farmer because I’m sure it’s nothing, but he asks me a dozen questions and concludes it’s probably just heartburn. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z When we reached our destination, it was quite late, but Farmer eagerly, and no doubt with some anxiety, opened his computer. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z In Sister Julianna’s company, on tours of North Carolina tobacco plantations, Farmer met a number of Haitians. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z “WL” was Farmer’s abbreviation for “white liberal,” a group that donated quite generously to Partners in Health but which he now seemed to be claiming was naive. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Before long that night, Farmer was summoned back to the hospital. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Farmer was refreshed and ready to get to work, starting with tackling his most recent bwat list. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Eduardo offered him the pack, and Farmer pushed it aside, laughing.

Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z When Farmer returned to Cange, confined mostly to a wheelchair, his shattered knee still healing in a cast, he had more to worry about than his health. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z As Farmer was leaving, he heard Joe say to another resident, just loudly enough to make Farmer wonder if Joe meant for him to overhear, “That guy’s a saint.” Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Farmer was forty now, a medical superstar, and he had the credentials to operate in the way Hiatt envisioned, the way that Jim Kim liked to operate—on an executive level. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z I would later learn that Farmer had suffered a slipped disk in his back from taking this bruising journey countless times. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z A talented and competitive athlete in school, known as Elbows to those who played basketball with him, he ran the Farmer household with a strict hand. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z “It’s not the same. Farmers feed the cows and chickens and take care of them. We don’t do anything for what we take.

I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings 1969-01-01T00:00:00Z Away from Farmer, her interest in becoming a medical doctor waned. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Before she’d met Farmer, Haiti had seemed merely vivid—terrible and strange much of the time. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Farmer came out to the courtyard, weaving through the usual large crowd. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z When Farmer’s bus pulled into the Greyhound station in Anniston, Alabama, on May 14, 1961, it was met by an angry mob armed with clubs, bricks, iron pipes and knives.

Cold Sassy Tree 1984-11-02T00:00:00Z He even testified before a congressional committee, and later got into a shouting match with an American general who claimed Farmer was “totally out in left field.” Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Still, he never turned down a request from Farmer, whose early caution about overcommitting PIH resources had given way to around-the-clock urgency. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z On a previous trip to Cuba, Farmer had also doctored Eduardo. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z At the end of September, Farmer planned a quick trip to Haiti to check on things. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z The editorial was mentioned on the government radio station in Haiti, and the junta promptly declared that Farmer had slandered the Haitian government. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Farmers leave our Camp at Night to return to their Fields.

Ash 2009-01-01T00:00:00Z If we were at the Brigham, Farmer says, this would all be easy to manage, including physical therapy for the man. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Farmers had come back into town following the frost, and their prices dropped as quickly as the temperature. Fever 1793 2000-01-01T00:00:00Z In the meantime, because Farmer feels like walking some more, we begin marching along a dirt road, the route the truck will have to take. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Your flyer says you have Unusual Chickens for the Exceptional Poultry Farmer. Unusual Chickens for the Exceptional Poultry Farmer 2015-05-12T00:00:00Z Jim was used to his friend raising his voice when he wanted to make a point, but this time Farmer screamed at him, “What do you want me to do?” Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z A few days later, friends of Farmer’s found a homeless shelter for Joe, but of course the social workers had to remind Farmer that shelter rules forbade alcohol consumption. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z She set the alarm clock for five, only to wake to the sound of Farmer’s voice, singing up to her from the courtyard below. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Farmer, about to graduate from Duke, found an equivalent to Upper Silesia not far from campus. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z At three-thirty she climbed the stairs to the offices over the Farmer’s Mercantile and went into the consulting room of Dr. Rosen. East of Eden 1952-09-01T00:00:00Z People took notice of what he had to say, and in turn Farmer seemed to marvel at the attention he got. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Father Jack had provided Farmer and other financially strapped students with small rooms in the rectory. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z One evening, hurrying around before catching his flight to Haiti, Farmer stepped off a curb and was struck by a car. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z To Farmer, the conclusion was as painful as it was obvious. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Farmer didn’t want to rile up the establishment, but he was determined to get his points across. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Farmer had already announced his amazing cure rate at the meeting. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Rather than stay safely away, Farmer bribed his way back in, to continue his work at the Mirebalais hospital. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z The sight of the drowned farmland, the result of a dam that had made his patients some of the poorest on this earth, was Farmer’s lens on the world. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z They ask if they can take her picture for their Belvidere Farmer’s Market Facebook page. A Heart in a Body in the World 2018-09-18T00:00:00Z Farmer owned two but had lent one to a friend. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z When the tour resumed, Farmer kept remarking on how pleasant and peaceful the quarters were, and finally I said to him, “I find them kind of depressing.” Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z It was as if Farmer had built himself an alarm system that, with any extended free moment, set off a recording saying, “You’re forgetting Haiti.” Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z What Farmer knew for certain was he would become a doctor himself, and the sooner he could return to Haiti, the better. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Turning his back on the affluent trappings of Duke, Farmer began sensitizing himself to the centuries-old plight of the the poor. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Like Farmer, the captain and his troops were giving their best effort. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z But Farmer likes being grounded in the kind of obscurity, away from the media and spotlight, that refreshes his passion and authority; doctoring to the poor is his ultimate source of power. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Over the next five years I mailed small amounts to the charity that supported Farmer’s hospital near Mirebalais. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z It was a lesson Farmer had learned “on the ground,” not in medical school. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z We had dinner together that night, consuming three bottles of wine, and then Farmer and I trudged back to our hotel in the biting cold, his red scarf covering his nose, his glasses fogging up. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z “He passed away a few years after they left Lambert,” Mrs. Farmer said. The Parker Inheritance 2018-03-27T00:00:00Z For Farmer, Cuba represented hope, proof that a poor country could achieve good public health. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z The evening I met Farmer, I was sitting on a second-story balcony of a military outpost, talking with U.S. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z “O for the P,” as Farmer would eventually abbreviate the term, was a simple concept. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z It wasn’t long before Jim decided that he wanted to make Farmer’s preferential option for the poor his own life’s work. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z I put the extra presents in my suitcase; Farmer was very grateful. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z My appointment with Farmer was at the Brigham and Women’s Hospital, a teaching affiliate of Harvard. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Most had already sprouted in the previous weeks, but their little roots had not held them to the Reverend Farmer’s flat-as-Kansas beds against the torrent. The Poisonwood Bible 1998-01-01T00:00:00Z Parents of a friend in Farmer’s advanced elementary school class introduced P.J. to Tolkien’s trilogy, The Lord of the Rings. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z As they chatted about Haiti, at some point Farmer asked, “Tell me about your family.” Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Candice paged through her notebook until she found Mrs. Farmer’s phone number. The Parker Inheritance 2018-03-27T00:00:00Z Even though Goldfarb represented the Russian Ministry of Justice, which ran the prisons, Farmer was warned explicitly to keep Alex away from the meetings. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Farmer remembered the regret etched on his mother’s soft face when they had to leave it behind, but as usual, she didn’t complain. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z She was moved as he read it aloud, seeing that Farmer was just as sensitive as she was to the fragility of Haitian life. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Years later, on an early trip to Haiti, an elated Farmer phoned to tell his parents he’d been accepted to Harvard Medical School. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z A year later Farmer published an essay about his work in Haiti, “The Anthropology Within,”in a Harvard Medical School publication, and the anonymous donor suddenly surfaced. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Farmer had been to the prison before, but an official still warned us, “Don’t get lost. This is not a good place to get lost.” Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z The next time Farmer returned to Boston, White took him to lunch. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z After an initial exchange of pleasantries, Farmer’s voice had changed. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z When Farmer flew back to Lima, Bayona accompanied him to a small government health clinic next to Father Jack’s former church. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Farmer reminded Goldfarb of their mutual objective, to get as much money as possible for the prisons, and not to get defensive about personalities. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z To Farmer, it wasn’t unlike the fate of Haitian peasants who left the central plateau and migrated to the slums of Port-au-Prince. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z “When we began the ride I think all of us were prepared for as much violence as could be thrown at us,” said James Farmer, an organizer of the first Freedom Ride. Because They Marched 2014-01-01T00:00:00Z As the junta continued to rule with an iron fist, Farmer became increasingly frustrated and angry. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z A few weeks later, Jim flew to Siberia, as Farmer had wanted. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z She’d been in the country for four months, while Farmer had just arrived, but he seemed to know far more about Haiti than Ophelia did. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z The priest ultimately bribed a Haitian army colonel to remove Farmer’s name from the list. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z “You had a good bus but you left,” sings Farmer. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Back in Cange, Farmer continued to work on his anthropology PhD. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z He had read Farmer’s piece and wanted to meet him. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z “I have to say, Rooskies are my kind of people,” Farmer announced. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z For the next few weeks I stuck with Captain Carroll and other military personnel, continuing to write my story, more sympathetic than Farmer had been to their mission of nation building. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z When I finally reached the top of the hill, sweating and panting, Farmer was perched on a rock, writing a letter to an old friend. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z A couple of years later, White helped Farmer realize his next step of creating an organization that would support the growing health system around Cange. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Farmer made clear this was far from the truth, and that underneath the fondness he felt for many things Cuban, at his essence he was “a hard-bitten, clinic-building, MDR-treating mother.” Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Farmers tend to breathe out nastier germs, to own better weapons and armor, to own more-powerful technology in general, and to live under centralized governments with literate elites better able to wage wars of conquest. Guns, Germs, and Steel: The Fates of Human Societies 1997-03-01T00:00:00Z According to his steady girlfriend, who accompanied him home, Farmer was sitting behind the steering wheel, holding a letter that his father wrote to him when he started medical school. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z As we ate breakfast, Farmer went on writing his letter. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Virchow viewed the world in a way that made sense to Farmer, his vision a comprehensive one that included pathology—the study of disease—with social medicine, politics, and anthropology. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Yet Farmer had that special gift to make you feel he was creating a club that consisted just of him and you. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z In January 1997, Bayona advised Farmer that if they wanted to get around the political roadblocks in Peru, they had to go to higher authorities. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z “I think we should make a recommendation that you not be isolated,” Farmer replied. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Scheduled to fly to Boston the next morning, Farmer brought John’s blood and tissue samples with him. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z He arranged meetings for Farmer and Goldfarb in Washington, D.C., including one at the White House with the First Lady, Hillary Clinton. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z “We need to erase social inequalities, and very few countries have done that,” Farmer spoke up. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Farmer had earlier gotten laughs when he said that in America there were lots of labs and no TB. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Now Farmer plans to hike to their homestead, in a tiny town called Casse, to check on the family. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Farmer graciously thanked the vice minister for all that he’d done. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z I remember a remark Farmer made to me a year ago in these hills: “You should compare suffering. Which suffering is worse. It’s called triage.” Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Proper medical treatment couldn’t be effective, Farmer believed, without serving a patient’s other needs: basic education, habitable housing, clean water, food security, and hope for a better future. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z One of Farmer’s favorite Virchow quotes was “The physicians are the natural attorneys of the poor, and the social problems should largely be solved by them.” Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Farmer seemed to care less about the notion that someone should be considered innocent until proven guilty than about preserving a thin-edged calm in a jittery country. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z We were ushered into an office where Farmer introduced himself to a team of local doctors, including the father whose daughter had TB. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z As I tell Farmer this, I quickly add, “I don’t mean this at all critically.” Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z On the last leg back to Cange, I straggled up out of another ravine and as usual found Farmer waiting for me. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z But he felt slightly ashamed to admit to Farmer he wanted to have a hand in creating international policy. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Then he recognizes Doktè Paul and he’s not so insistent on his price after Farmer points out, “And if you get sick, I won’t ask you for a hundred dollars.” Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Farmers had corn growing in fields and fields around here, but for some reason trying to grow one small row of it never worked out. The Season of Styx Malone 2018-10-16T00:00:00Z As they toured Cange in the priest’s pickup, the treeless, dusty landscape struck Farmer as “amazingly, biblically dry and barren.” Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z When Farmer was being serious, however, the core of his being was exposed and he wanted you to pay close attention. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Farmer and Goldfarb flew to New York for an emergency meeting with Soros and asked the philanthropist for more funding for Russia. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Farmer said to me, “They have seven hundred hospital beds in this place, and about five hundred are filled with TB patients. That’s a clue, just a clue, that there might be a problem.” Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z When the three got together, Farmer told them, in French, that he dreamed of a new kind of “triangle”—doctors from Cuba and money from France coming together in Haiti. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Settling in the small town of Mirebalais, Farmer found work with a charity called Eye Care Haiti, headquartered in Port-au-Prince, which conducted mobile “outreach clinics” in the countryside. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Farmer’s answer was that project managers could afford to wait for lower prices, but not all patients could. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Returning to his seat afterward, Farmer said this happened to him about once in every eighteen flights. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Farmer stops a young man on a motorbike and asks if he’d give one of our party, the pharmacist, a lift to Cange. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z In December, two months after John’s medevac flight to Boston, I am back with Farmer in Haiti, as our truck’s headlights bounce over the endless, back-jarring potholes of Highway 3.

Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z The relief Farmer felt after the showdown was followed by reprimands from his staff. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Turning very serious, Farmer answered with a long speech about democracy and socialism, the rich and poor, power and privilege. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Then he asked Farmer and PIH to help fix the Russian pilot projects. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Then one made a charge, wings flapping, and Farmer turned away. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z I knew how warm and giving Farmer could be. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Farmers in the floodplain build houses and barns on stilts. 1491 2005-10-10T00:00:00Z Under a goodly pile of the Dakota Farmer, Popular Magazine, and Saturday Evening Post magazines, I found a serviceable empty wooden crate that was recruited as a bookcase. Hattie Big Sky 2006-09-26T00:00:00Z There were no more checkpoints when Farmer drove to and from Port-au-Prince. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Inside the hospital, marching purposefully down a concrete-walled corridor of the TB wing, his stethoscope draped over his neck as he prepared to see patients, Farmer suddenly stopped. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Through email, Farmer dutifully kept track of Christian’s progress and eventual recovery, but he hadn’t seen him or his family until this moment. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Farmer says to them, speaking of the old woman in the house, “You love her a lot? Do you tell her? Don’t lie to me now.” Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z To keep up with his hosts, Farmer kept drinking vodka.

Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z The day after I arrived, starting at dawn and ending well into the evening, I followed Farmer on his rounds, for the first of many times. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z They seemed like people Farmer had seen in waiting rooms in the dreadful public clinics he’d visited throughout the country. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z After his study was done, Farmer returned to the States and did additional research. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z With his frustration boiling over into recklessness, Farmer took more and more chances. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Farmer said, and for a moment he was narrating Haiti again. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Farmer had the wild-looking grin with which he greeted old friends. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z By the time he met Farmer as a fellow med student, Jim was ready for a new direction. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z I tell Farmer, and I’m grateful that he doesn’t tease me. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z With a little encouragement from Dr. Pérez, who approached Peggy and told her that Farmer was a friend of his, she finally relented. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z I joined Farmer on the Brigham’s radiology floor, in a quiet room where he was discussing various patients with younger doctors, mostly residents, who were his students. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Farmer had never cared much about the religious dogma he’d been taught as a child, and he still didn’t believe in most of it now. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Because Farmer was so busy, Serena did almost all the work. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z The more he read, the more Farmer thought, “Wow! This ain’t the Catholicism I remember.” Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z If Farmer ever said anything cryptic and Ophelia challenged him, she noticed that he stopped being so forthcoming. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z I figured that was enough being Farmer Mark for one day.

Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind 2011-01-01T00:00:00Z One time she couldn’t quite make herself eat what looked like a fried egg afloat in pig fat and gristle, so Farmer slurped it down for her. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z I kept in touch with Farmer by email—he wrote almost every day—and sometimes in person. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z At Duke and Harvard, he saw that most students chased money, power, or a sense of personal advancement, but Farmer’s motives for becoming a doctor were different. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z At least Farmer knew that his protest was lodged and the higher authorities had noticed. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Mrs. Farmer traced a dark, wrinkled finger across the letters stamped into the aluminum. The Parker Inheritance 2018-03-27T00:00:00Z Introducing himself, Farmer sat at the head of Joe’s bed, folding himself around the patient in an agile way that made me think of a grasshopper. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z They did not stand out in that crowd because the Clarion County Farmers' Market attracts a lot of people from the college, and the college in turn attracts a lot of dark-skinned people. The View From Saturday 1996-09-01T00:00:00Z Now she was being retreated with the same first-line regimen and, of course, Farmer knew, as he put his stethoscope to her chest, she was only getting sicker. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z When his lab work came back at the end of that day, showing his liver functions at dangerously low levels, Farmer conceded he could no longer tough it out.

Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z And it was Zeke that let out one soft, anguished cry as his life bled out into the dirt of Rose Hill, the sound almost indistinguishable over the noise of the dead Miss Farmer feeding.

Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Farmer had gotten up at once and attended to a middle-aged man who thought he was having a heart attack but fortunately wasn’t. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Tom White met Farmer’s “WL” definition: someone who donated money but didn’t understand the depth of third-world problems or how to really fix them. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Embracing a continuity and interconnectedness that excluded no one seemed like another of Farmer’s peculiar liberties. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Arrogant and humble at the same time, the radical, fearless nun and her fellow sisters were the most committed individuals Farmer had ever met. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z For a moment, I thought Farmer might crawl into bed with him. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z “Well, I really appreciate this,” Mrs. Farmer said once she’d finished paging through the yearbook. The Parker Inheritance 2018-03-27T00:00:00Z Alcante had such a beautiful presence that he seemed like the guardian angel of the pavilion, but Farmer worried about what would happen when he returned to his home in the central plateau.

Bomb 2012-01-01T00:00:00Z The priest told Farmer stories of the dam, about the chaos and instability it had created almost overnight. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z The decision was clear to Farmer: if at all possible, fly the patient to Boston. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z The doctors listened carefully and then expressed their agreement with Farmer—some, like the girl’s father, eagerly and gratefully. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Hearing Farmer tell this story, I wondered at his recklessness. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Farmer Cotton’s household and all his guests were up early next morning. The Return of the King 1955-10-20T00:00:00Z Farmer Cotton cleared the street, sending everyone indoors, except the older hobbits who had weapons of some sort. The Return of the King 1955-10-20T00:00:00Z One afternoon, before I accompanied Farmer on his last rounds of the day, he sat across from a sad-faced young man named Ti Ofa, who was approaching the final stages of AIDS. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z The promises he got from various doctors and dignitaries, whether they were kept or not, were a testimony to his charm and persistence, and would be followed up with Farmer’s calls, letters, and emails. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Just to keep his word, I suppose, Farmer still pleaded Joe’s case, not expecting to win the argument. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z In addition to “H of G,” “ID,” “WL,” and “O for the P,” Farmer used scores of other abbreviations and slang in his and emails. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Until he had more information, Farmer was cool and distrustful, even a little prickly, White told me, remembering the moment. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z At the Harvard School of Public Health, Farmer had gotten used to hearing that public health problems should be solved with “appropriate technology.” Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Education, as vital as it was to Farmer and his cause, wasn’t the only thing he thought the world needed. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Farmer suspected the root cause of this growing problem stemmed from decades back—long before Peru adopted the model WHO program in 1991—when drug-resistant strains were spawned by inadequately financed and unsupervised treatment. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z But after our dinner I found myself keeping a distance from Paul Farmer, mainly, I came to realize, because his uneasy. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Farmer went in first, followed by a translator. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z One reason Farmer could never convince himself to choose one path over another was his fundamental dream—an unwavering passion—for equality in health care. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z “Excuse me,” Farmer replied, “but why do you qualify my talk as provocative? I just said we should treat sick people, if we have the technology.” Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Around Cange people whispered that it was obvious Farmer had the gift of healing, but they added, “Doktè Paul works with both hands”—that is, both with medical science and with the magic of sorcery.

Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z When we got to our hotel, Farmer said, “I can sleep here. Everyone here has a doctor.” Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z He used to pick up Farmer from the airport, but Paul never did that for him, not once. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Back in our truck, Farmer said to me, “‘When I was sick, when I was in prison, when I needed clothes, you gave me,’ et cetera. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Farmer told his parents to keep hope, because their son was going to be fine in the end.

Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z It was called the Farmers’ Market, a great square of a place with a roof over part of it and no walls to speak of. Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH 1970-06-01T00:00:00Z Farmer had imagined a portly, cigar-smoking type who made backroom deals with the Massachusetts Bay Transit Authority. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Christian wasn’t the main case Farmer had been asked to consult on today. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z After one Sunday Mass, Farmer joined a small group that went to see Aristide. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z I’ve never found it easy to trust another person to lead me anywhere, but I trust Farmer. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Serena and Farmer agreed to try to get John to Boston.

Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z The Farmer family residence was an apartment of three small rooms, borrowed from an old friend from Duke. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z The unfairness angered Farmer, and he tried to save as many lives as he could in his clinical practice. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z On our flight to Moscow, Farmer told me that the World Bank was planning to make a loan to Russia to help prevent a full-blown TB epidemic. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z “Farmers are busy; farmers are busy; if farmers weren’t busy, where would grain to get through the winter come from?” Outliers 2008-11-18T00:00:00Z I felt that Farmer was suspending his usual critical judgment, looking only for things to praise. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Jim had great respect for Farmer, but ultimately he wanted to do more than run the Boston office. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z She couldn’t take the look on Mrs. Farmer’s face. The Parker Inheritance 2018-03-27T00:00:00Z Known as P.J. or Pel to his family, Farmer was a scrawny, energetic boy, intense in anger and affection, “with a huge brain,” according to his sisters. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Farmer was away much of the time, and even when he was around, darting from meeting to meeting, it was Jim who often made sure he kept to a schedule. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z From the way Farmer showed off photos of his wife and daughter wherever he traveled, I knew that he loved them deeply. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Farmer and his team eventually left the room, but only after it was clear Joe had been comforted and Farmer had earned his trust. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Farmer’s involvement in Russia had started two years earlier, when he made a futile effort to convince the Soros Foundation to provide funds for PIH’s TB work in Peru. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Yet his respect for Farmer, despite their differences, was beyond doubt. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z By now I was getting a sense of how Farmer put together experience and philosophy. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Farmer could only make guesses, based on the wreckage he returned to at Cange. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Normally reserved, Ophelia didn’t hold herself back with Farmer, showing him even her “outrageous side,” with its off-color humor and occasional swearing. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Farmers haul their corn to town in big open wagons that scatter a light rain of corn behind them. The Omnivore's Dilemma 2006-04-11T00:00:00Z When our place descended toward Havana, Farmer grew excited as he peered out the window.

Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z I was listening to the Farmer who honestly believed that he could never do enough. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z In photos from around this time, Jim appears as a neatly groomed, well-proportioned young man, a few inches shorter than Farmer, with jet-black hair swept into a knife-like wave and wire-rimmed glasses over narrow eyes. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Farmer stood beside a bed, his arm resting on the mattress of an upper berth. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Farmer seemed to say that diplomacy, charm, and sound argument backed by hard data could unite all factions against their common enemy, TB. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z She was a longtime colleague of Farmer’s, and she had questions about treating someone with hydrocephalus—an abnormal amount of fluid in the brain’s ventricles, or cavities—caused by a parasite. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z Borrowing one of Farmer’s famous lines in debate, Jim said, “On what data exactly do you base that statement?” Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z And of course there were the other Farmers.

Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z When he was younger, Farmer had traveled to and from Cange in jeans and a T-shirt, until he realized this upset his Haitian friends, who always dressed up to travel. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z The game might have gone on longer if the dead Miss Farmer hadn't managed to pull herself free. Dread Nation 2018-04-03T00:00:00Z As good as Farmer was as a clinical doctor, Hiatt had been urging him to rethink his priorities, including reducing his Haiti involvement to the role of consultant. Mountains Beyond Mountains 2013-04-13T00:00:00Z I am virtually out of water, but the water Ti Jean and Farmer are carrying is unfiltered—they have both built up an immunity to local microorganisms—so they advise me not to drink it.
